UK map issues.

[+Sundowner]

Since I updated to the April 2012 patch I've been having issues with this map, if the game itself chooses either RAF Leuchars [friendly] or Aerfort Bhaile Atha Cliath [enemy] as home base the game loads fully then you suddenly end up with what can only be described as a "sky view" then it locks up, so what I've been doing is going into the mission editor first to check the chosen airfield, if either of those two are the game chosen bases the [your] aircraft icon is on the correct place on the map but the take off point is to the left of southern Ireland [see screenie], this is exactly the same location for both bases.

If I edit my flight and click on the highlighted home base everything jumps into place & the game loads just fine.

The only thing these two bases have in common as far as I can see, is that they are both first on their respective [friendly/enemy] list, I've checked all the locations etc in the target ini etc but must admit I'm at a dead loss here.

I remember something like, the first target areas for both enemy and friendly, shouldn't contain airbases. Insert some other areas there and see if that fixes it Ant.

a lot of maps seem to be doing that lately. Amongst other pecularities...

 

is there enough room between them and the wall? (in reference to the above screenie, and that western-most base)

[+PureBlue]

another question, what's the size of the map and location coordinates for those two bases?

Are they in the outer %10 of the map?

Just checked a couple of things, the bases are target areas 041 & 044, there seems to be plenty of room between that airbase in Ireland & the wall dunno just how far though, Leuchars is well within the limits.

Thanks for the help so far.
