Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to reload ship magazines. Do you need a cargo ship to reload magazines? Like refuelling air groups with some tankers pressing alt+r?

Not working for me, not doing anything.

I just downloaded the new HCE patch. it says The Procedure entry point Decodepointer could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll Thanx Tanthier

As I tinker with window positioning to help people not lose windows, please ponder and answer the poll.

There is a distinct change in the behavior or characteristics of AI air groups and AA missiles between HCGold (and early versions of the HCE demo) and the more recent versions of the HCE Demo, and I'm trying to get my head around the reasons or rationale for all of this. The first (and most flustering) difference is that my air patrol groups often can just blow up without warning for no apparent reason, even when at extreme distances from any enemy detection platforms. It turns out that the reason is that they were attacked by (an) AI air group(s) - apparently - but this revelation just lead to more puzzlement because when I found out what the culprits were, the resu…

I'm wondering what battlesets have the newer HCE features that are based 1980-1990 or so. I believe I saw the included HCDA/S/? or whichever those 3 or 4 are have active jamming working but didn't know if they have the full set of new goodies. Am I correct? Also.. which other battlesets do/don't have the new features? I've noticed the DB80to95 but haven't seen much in the way of created scenarios for it. Could someone point me in the right direction? I've not dove into scenario creation yet (I will sometime), but playing your own scenarios takes a bit of the surprise out of it, doesn't it?

Hi All, I'm a newbie here but just wanted to say that I have the ORIGINAL harpoon for commodore 64 computer on 2.5"diskettes....box , all disks , battlestes etc etc. I have them stored away somewhere. Just noticed a post somewhere about "collecting old versions of Harpoon" cheers Roy C

How many SDB units do you think that you could fit on an B-1B?

Just about one year later and I'm reinstalling HCE. Please point me to the files and DB I should be using. I'm running build 2009.50, I think there is a later build. Sorry for the bother, I just don't know which files to use. running win7 Thanks very much John

Lets take something like a P8 Poseidon, it will fly 'low' to drop sonar bouy, but in between bouy drops will it normally remain low or climb to a medium alt to gain a better theatre eyes view? Any one know what the usual practice is here? I'm thinking of altering the Toolbox ASW patrol for fixed wing ac to give better detection of surface vessel.

i apologize if this has already been asked, did a google search, nothing came up. why do my tankers refuel my fighters instantly? it is extremely frustrating and defeats the purpose of tankers. I'm guessing i might have accidentally turned on auto refueling? i tried hitting alt-r but problem still occurs. thanks

Hi. I've just resently returned to Harpoon Classics Ultimate Edition. I made a new installation and the latest patch I could find ( v2015.027). I tried to edit an existing scenario, but when I try to save the scenario I keep getting this message "GetMemAnnexA Error: !IS_DISK(0 [0x0]) = 1698128 This message has been logged. The program will now terminate." Is there a solution to my problem ? Regards FrankFly Dk

One of those "remember when" suggestions came up on Facebook the other day saying it has been 7 years since I finished the HC 20th Anniversary launcher utility. That got me curious what one or two things I would highlight for each year of my tenure as an HC programmer. Items with *s are ones where I did most or all of the coding but each of them took the effort of many people! 2003: Platform Editor - PE WestPac BattleSet 2004: *Mobile Land Units (could have been 2003 but I doubt it) *Base Source Level (BSL) exposed throughout the toolchain so that the database Authors could set a base noise level of a platform for sonar purposes. 2005: *New active ECM m…

Playing the EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea scenario Nordic Light and so far I have shot down 12 Tornado - somehow. Only info I have is that they have been shot down in the Message Log - no other info. What is going on? Assuming they are getting shot down by my assets, shouldn't I at least have some info on it happening? Puzzled, Akmatov
