Hi all,

I'm currently on 31 July, 1916, with 41 RFC. Because the squadron is working up in England on that date, the main campaign menu page shows "no operations today" for both flights (and has been generating solo flights when I go to the briefing room). Occasionally, the "briefing room" page will list multiple aircraft in B Flight, but I will be alone on the airfield when the sim launches - which is particularly difficult to deal with now as I'm being handed a zeppelin interception mission. I had a few mods installed when the issue first came up, but I've tried:
-Removing all mods, and re-launching the mission
-Reinstalling WOFF with the latest patch (and no mods) and re-launching the mission after restoring my pilot with the pilot backup utility
-Creating a new pilot in the same squadron on the same date
and had the same result each time. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but for Home Defence squadrons, unless you don't mind flying missions without any enemy contact, I recommend clicking the Advance Time button to "Next Historical Mission" (or something similar). Also, I believe most of these missions involve few, if any, flight-mates, because the risk of collision was so great since many of them took place in the dark when Zeppelins were the most active.

Absolutely, I've been time-skipping and doing a flight every week or so just to say I have been while I wait for the squadron to move to France, but I suppose I could have been more clear; the main issue is that the briefing screen reports that other pilots will be with me, but in the loadouts page and in the actual flight I'm alone.

Working up - or other similar status, means non-operational, basically. So until they are, you will get personal flights to test stuff etc. B flight it just showing who may be flying, not an actual flight as such. There are none.
Best to advance time to when you are operational.
I guess we could remove that but more code for quiet periods probably not worth it.
Don't skip time, use the Advance to next event button and try that.

It's possible that there is an historical attack, but your squadron is technically not operational - so you will be on your own. Think Leefe Robinson wink

Ah, that explains it! Thanks very much. I was concerned that something had broken.
