Ok, new drop is nice but I encountered an ugly bug - the carriers have sprung a leak 
Sorry, so all my missions - all of them! - with a departure from a CV (to include the LHA) fail to spawn on the deck. You just drift around in space. Took a couple of hours to fix it…haven’t found the exact culprit however.
Likely a mod of some sort. Since I have a lot of them I’ve yet to narrow it down but if you’re experiencing any funky loading issues try this:
Re-name your “Saved Games\DCSopenbeta” folder. I just added a “.bak” to mine: DCSopenbeta.bak
NOTE!!! This wipes out all your config stuff, mods, etc. DCS re-builds this folder on the next startup.
It’s a big hammer but my folder has been accumulating a lot of stuff for years, so I guess it was about time. Slowly adding mods back in to nail it down.
