RSC, I've had plenty of tasks with I / ZG.26, but unfortunately not the time to fly them. However your situation reminds me of my own but with ZG.76 as follows:
Since I changed my 'Fly' settings to prompt me when ZG.76 goes up, however, I've had no tasks set... even though, by checking the squadron diary, they are quite clearly flying missions. Can anyone help me with this? It's kind of annoying since ZG.76 was the geschwader I intended to fly in from the start.
Cheers

P.S. Kinda neat that you went for ZG.26 - especially at just the time I have "transferred" - almost like you're my replacement
LOL.
Sorry 'bout the late reply.
I think the only thing that really reliable works for me is running at not too high time compression (180, 300 max) and watch the airfield where your Gruppe is stationed, to see their icon appear when they are tasked. This is generally early enough that you can frag in for the start, and with Luftwaffe I usually frag in over the channel anyway. So I watch for my airfield to become active, then slow down TC to 30 or 60 and manually frag in over the channel.
Although I'm also having some success with setting the Fly parameter to my ZG, but I also saw some bugs there.
The Luftwaffe SPC, to be enjoyable, definitly requires some player intervention. Even (maybe for Cherkasov?) to reassign your unit as escort unit on certain raids, otherwise they might see no business.
