Mission Buider Ships

Have recently installed Fox Four Hospital Ship. When I put it into a mission it charges off at about 30 knots in a left hand circle regardless of what I put in its profile, nothing I do seems to stop it - any solutions ?

To tell the truth i dont know how to fix it...
But i noticed my stock Landing Craft tend to have a mind of their own and either take a left or maybe a right, 90* off from their specified heading. Maybe they do make a big arc i dont know i usually exit the combat area before they move a lot.

It should work fine as it's been thoroughly tested like all Collin's ships. He's having a few problems with his PC at the moment but you could try mailing him. If you can't fix it or contact Collin I'll ask one of the others.

Cheers for your quick respone fellas - I have noticed the same problem with the stock Japanese Freighter, perhaps its a CFS 2 problem. Have e mailed Collin, he might be familiar with this.

There is a glitch in CFS2 that causes non-combat ships to not follow their waypoints.  Instead they sail off headed north.  Nanni has a fix for this at is web site:

Basically it consists of adding a gun to each of the stock non-combat ships.  If the hospital ship is unarmed it will behave the same way.  You can follow the format Nanni uses to add a gun to the hospital ship.  You can further reduce the ammo count to zero to keep it from firing on anyone.

Thanks Cody. I'll pass this onto Collin & Tom.
