Can't fly with fighters [Odyssey]

[No.1514]

Hello Cmdrs and FDev. o7
Please tell me that I'm not the only one with this issue...
So I was shooting around killed some pirates and then all of a sudden I remembered that I still have a fighter bay and a hired NPC.
So I thought it could be much more fun to shoot the pirates with a nasty little Guardian Fighter
But when I started to deploy one... it doesn't work. I stuck in the darkness, hearing the gunfire outside and the loading sequence goes to the infinity and beyond...
So I shut down the game the hard way (task manager) because it even doesn't shut down properly when I hit the X on the Window.
I relaunched Odyssey and then I got the next Loading screen to infinity with my guardian fighter spinning for eternity and later the error "orange Sidewinder".
The only way to get out of this situation is to switch to Horizon, go back to your main ship and exit, and restart Odyssey.

Dear FDev... when you are reading this... please help... what is the problem that I cannot use ship launched fighters?
Is it just me and I don't know how to play properly or is it an unknown bug that got not so much attention yet?

Cant' start my fighters too...
Though I hear my fighterpilot that she's starting, nothing happened. In the fighter menu is everyting "n/a" so I can't give any orders. There isn't any signal of the fighter and if I start the supercruise-sequence it stucks at the moment when normally the supercruise ignites. Outside camera doesn't working too.
Only thing is to restart the game and the "invisible" fighter ist lost.
This must be a bug.

Same issue here.

I tried telling my NPC crew to get in a fighter while I was at a resource extraction site, they acknowledged, and then nothing. Fighter didn't deploy, and the fighter tab of the bottom panel basically became unusable - couldn't try redeploying, couldn't recall the fighter, nothing. Tried going into supercruise and got stuck at 100% charging, never entered supercruise. Quit to main menu and logged back in.

Tried deploying into the fighter myself, got stuck at a black screen. Never loaded. Had to force-close the game.

Update:
Tried swapping to my T10 and successfully deployed into my F63 Condor fighter. Tried swapping back to my Corvette and deploying into my XG9 Lance fighter, again got stuck at black screen. This time, I tried hitting escape and going to main menu (instead of force-closing my game). I was unable to load back into the game afterwards - every time I tried to load into a session, I would just get stuck at a rotating 3d model of the XG9 fighter, and after a few minutes I'd get an Orange Sidewinder error.

I switched back to the Horizons client and it loaded flawlessly, and I'm able to use my XG9 Lance fighter no problem.
