Description

Sometimes, flight pathing is still doing the "Christmas Tree" thing where a nav point is placed way off to one side. As an example, I have planned a package for every single ground target around one of the enemy control points, and this problem occurs on packages planned to 5 out of the 8 targets, even though they are all in roughly the same area. These 5 packages have a nav point with a big 35 mile lateral offset from the most direct route.

I get that they are likely just brushing against some threat zone around the westernmost enemy control point, but I think the detour is way too large. A slight shift to the north-east is sufficient, flying roughly the same route the other three packages are taking.

Here is what it looks like after I manually fixed it.

Save game and other files (save game required, bugs without saves will be closed)

Two save files, the first showing the problem and a second one that has been manually fixed.
