ActGroupPtr not firing when AirGroup is split to form a new group which takes active status in game

[donaldseadog]

It appears that ActGroupPtr (for use with Export.dll) does not ‘fire’ when the selected group in the GE changes by virtue of an air group being split.

The Zip file includes the saved game ActGrouPtrNoFIreGrpSplt.hpq and its parent scenario for use in WestPac BS with HCDB 150929 DB .

To replicate open the saved game and select the Air group ABA (comprising two F-111), split one plane and follow the normal suggested setting of a course for the new group ACA. The selected group in the game changes from the original Air Group to the new Group but ActGroupPtr does not fire in export.dll addon programs eg LazGUI (see included JPG) and the ActGroupPtr remains the old selected group.

Wasn't just air groups, any group split.  Nice find!
