Hello, I have a new idea for a new tool. There could be a limit to the number of radar guided missiles an aircraft can manage. The limit could be adjusted to 1, 2, 3 or whatever you like. This is a limit like the targets a ships can manage. When a radar guided missiles activates its terminal guide then the aircraft can launch another missile again. This is the same for laser guidance missiles. IR missiles like Sidewinder or Alamo B/C can be launched the number you want up to the limit.

Good Day fellow harpooners. If this is not the appropriate sub forum, feel free to move this post to a more appropriate one. Long ago and many laptops past I spent many hours having a ton of fun playing Harpoon. Current laptop did not have it installed so I just purchased the latest HUCE from Matrix games and upgraded it to build 2022.27. Have some questions on the availability of a platform editor (not included with my recent purchase of HUCE) I see references to the Reimer PE, but cannot find a current link. Is there still a copy online? Is this the only platform editor? Is there a currently valid link to it? Note I am mainly using HUCE and WestPAC b…

View File SouthPacIslands-NamedSeaTest This Battleset is to test the idea of text in the texture file naming geographical features, in this case some of the seas and oceans. The text is rather grainy and is not well aligned but is something that perhaps can be improved and show an idea for future more sophisticated work. The included scenarios are to be played using Database HCDB2-170909 and toy with an upgraded australian defense capability in line with various announcements of the early 2020s. Note for scenario 3, in order to obtain maximum surprises ensure you you have not disabled nuclear weapons. …

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.

Some of us have probably done it, you get a close contact, you know the platform type, maybe even its class, but you don't know its side, is it an enemy or a neutral? It might in fact be a neutral but due to it's close proximity you blast it! You then find out your mistake but there are no consequences. If you use my Toolbox, this is about to change, but I have two consequences available: 1/ The attacking group is stood down (in game it is turned into a neutral) and the commander sent off to war crimes trial. (or in the case of attacking a whale something else?) 2/ The attacked group turns against you and becomes an enemy. OR both? If the neu…

View File AutoSaves Purpose: Moves, Copies, or leaves alone each saved game file. In the move and copy cases, the saved game is moved to an AutoSaves directory immediately under the directory from which the scenario or saved game was loaded. ex.

My first conversation with ChatGPT, not bad at all. It chose the radar "range" equation which does not take into account emitter power, detector sensitivity, etc. but still, amazing (and scary?).
