That sounds a LOT like a bug. Which mission exactly?

I've been seeing funny bomber AI since 3.7.5, maybe before, it's kind of worrisome.

Faraway spawns were a problem in the latest nightly, which should be fixed. What build you on?

Yeah, this bug should already have been fixed; there just hasn't been a new nightly build since the fix was merged (yet).

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

A vector didn't get normalized (well, actually, it got normalized, but then the normalized version wasn't used), so certain things got... wildly out of hand.
