Well I think this is not a bug but I think there's a related one. Let me explain (I've tested with Derelict "Rites of Passage"). As I don't know TBP ships I'll call FUBAR-BDHR fighter "Chosen One", while in that mission the default ship should be "ISA Bluestar". + When you open the mission again, the default fighter is selected, NOT YOURS. You can check how in the ship pool list (on the left), "ISA Bluestar" will have a brighter box than the rest of fighters. (I upload a screenshot from "Rites of Passage" showing this behaviour. Take note of the brighter box in the Serapis of Alpha wing and in the Serapis in the ship pool). + BUT THE BUG I THINK THAT EXISTS IS: - When you click on any fighter (as example "Chosen One" in the wing area with an orange box as it's your fighter), the game should update that fighter data. - But when the ship you click is in the ship wing area, it SOMETIMES updates it, it NEARLY ALWAYS doesn't. (If you test with a mission with more fighters in the wing area, you can test this issue more easily). Why?????? - Nevertheless, it ALWAYS updates the fighter data if you click on the ship pool area on the left. (I suppose that when you clicked on your "Chosen One", the game probably didn't change the fighter, so you thought: "Hey, my selected "Chosen One" fighter is being rendered as the default "ISA Bluestar, and that is a bug". But in fact the problem is that despite of your clicking, your "Chosen One" fighter is not being selected). Please re-test to confirm the issue. |

Maybe it's because I just got out of bed but I didn't follow that at all. Here is exactly what I did. Created mission with the Bluestar as the default player ship Played the mission from the simulator several times exiting FS2 each time Changed the ship to a Dilgar one in loadout and played and exited FS2 Went back into mission simulator and selected the mission again. The screenshot is what shows before I touch anything. If I click commit I do play with the Dilgar ship not the Bluestar shown. |

Yes, I suppose that's what is expected: + Bluestar is the very first ship that appears in Ship Selection window because it's the default ship. + BUT Bluestar is not your ship anymore because of the previous runs. As I told before, FS2 shows the default ship, NOT YOUR SHIP. Your ship is actually the Dilgar. So if you don't touch anything, of course you start flying a Dilgar. Please FUBAR-BDHR, test if you can replicate the not-responding click issue on wing area, as I posted above. |

I see what you are saying but I didn't have that happen. As soon as I clicked on Alpha 1 it updated. I'll have to make a new test with more ships tonight. |

I'm not convinced this is a bug. That is it is common to have one ship in your ship slot and another one being rendered on screen. Also from what i saw it seems like really, really short clicks allow for resetting the rendered ship while longer clicks just grab the ship from the slot. |

@Wanderer: I swear that I cannot make shorter clicks... If the "not-refreshing-click" is just a "too-long-before-release-so-FS2-thinks-that-the-user-is-starting-a-drag" issue, then that hardcoded time is WAY too short. It really seems the ship data refresh is randomly triggered. But please confirm that that's the problem, because as I say, at least in my system, a click over the ship pool (on the left) ALWAYS update the ship. The issue only happens on the ship wing area. (OTOH: If my clicking issue is confirmed and FUBAR-BDHR's original one is dismissed, I think any admin should change Summary/Description or, if you want, I can open a new report as a spin-off). |

Normally it wouldn't be a problem but it is rendering the wrong ship at mission load not after a selection. So at mission load you are getting the mission default ship rendered but have the ship in the loadout from the last play. At mission load both of these should match. I have noticed that if you exit FS2 and make a change to a mission and resave before going back in sometimes the ship changes back to the mission default and sometimes it doesn't. |

@FUBAR-BDHR: I still think it's not a bug: + FS2 remembers your last loadout. And that's good. and + FS2 doesn't show the player ship BUT the default one (watch my previously posted screenshot). Maybe it would be better if the player ship were the very first shown one. But IMO that's rather a feature request than a bug. |

Feedback required on this. Should the code be changed to show the player's currently selected ship by default or should it continue to show the mission's first default by default? If the former, let's make the change. If the latter, this should be closed. |
