I searched the forum for information about this bug, but found nothing. If it has already been discussed, sorry.
I've noticed an extremely annoying bug in FS2. The "ignore my target" command - given to all ships or one wing - causes ALL ships, even if I can't command them, to ignore it. To fix it, I have to order all ships to engage that target.
Example 1:
Defending Enif Station. If I order my wingmen to ignore the GTCv Hawkwood, the Colossus doesn't open fire after jumping in! It only does when I order my wingmates to attack the Hawkwood.
Example 2:
The first Stathanas - Colossus battle ("Clash of the Titans"). When I order my wing of Bakha bombers to ignore the Sathanas, the Colossus doesn't open fire! Again, "C -> All -> Attack" fixes the problem.
