Ok I'm having a serious problem with planes and carriers that I haven't been able to find mention of anywhere else here on the forums.

I'm playing a multiplayer game on New Paradise and my planes won't work properly at all.

I've got 4 carriers each with planes on them and sometimes I can select the planes on the carriers and issue them orders, sometimes I cannot.
Sometimes if I issue an order to a plane to attack something, the plane will disappear and a plane from a capital on the opposite end of the map will come swooping in and do the attack.
I also once moved a carrier, launched a plane to attack and then clicked 'undo' on the carrier, this had the effect of moving the carrier back to its original position but the plane still had its attack run registered, which was interesting because the target was out of range once the carrier had returned to its original position.
I've also got a carrier with 3 planes on it that simply will not let me put a 4th on board.

Are these known bugs? Is there anything that can be done to resolve these issues?

Just some additional notes about this bug.

I am playing in Windowed mode and I do tend to be doing other things in Windows while playing MA.
I checked the ma.log file and found errors such as :

ERROR: -------------FIRE :target not found
ERROR: -------------REMOVE :executor not found

and another that seems to have disappeared from the log file that said something about 'Mouse Check Failed' .

So I tried playing a game without clicking out of the MA window. I was able to get the planes to do what I wanted them to do this time; but I still had the issue where I launched an attack from a carrier and a plane flew from halfway across the map to bomb the guard tower.

We know this bug.
Could you tell me what version you are playing now? If you started the game with an old version, earlier than MA v.204 or MAN v.205 or you haven't upgraded to the lastest version till now I know the bug.

If you started the game with the latest version, that's interesting. Then send me the number of the game. We will look through it.

I'm running MA v 1.2.204 .
This game was started before the 204 patch.
Game number is 16700 .

So this is something that shouldn't occur if the game is started in 204 ?
Is there any way to repair the existing game?

Unfortunately, the only thing to do is just finish the game.

I have this problem too.

I just finished a game where I had 3 fully stocked carriers.

What I do when the figthers disappear is:
1) Move the carrier around. Anywhere.
2) Hit the Undo button

This resets the carrier and brings back the planes.
It worked for me every time during this game.

Actually, I had a problem under the latest MA patch with Carriers. I launched bomber 4 to attack, then found I couldn't launch bomber 3, so I used bomber 1 instead. On the same turn I noticed that at some point two bombers disappeared off the carrier for the course of the turn.
