Hi, Don't laugh. I still have the Harpoon Classic 97 game on CD Rom. I'm trying to install it on a Windows 7 PC. I've got the program installed and running, however it comes with the Scenario Editor, but no option during game installation or instructions for installing the wscenedt.exe file. Please help, Thanks.

Hi Folks, I have recently installed version 2009.042 on a new Gateway netbook running XP. The game seems to work ok but when I issue a patrol order for a base I can not see the box to click OK and I can not go any further in the game. If any one knows a solution to this issue I would appreciate the help.

Hello, I am playing an scenario and Ph of SAM and AAM haven't got the same Ph (I have edited the database). The first message says: 3 of 3xAS-17 Krypton missiles shot down by 3xAIM-9X Sidewinder (FPh=65 Ph=65, DPh=90). 90-65=25%. Another message says (after a few seconds): 2 of 2xAS-17 Krypton missiles shot down by 2xAIM-9X Sidewinder (FPh=85 Ph=85, DPh=90). 90-85=5, 20% less than the first message. The last message says (some minutes later): 0 of 1xAS-17 Krypton missiles shot down by 1xMIM-104A Patriot (FPh=35 Ph=35, DPh=60). 60-35=25 as the first message. Why does the second message change? Shouldn't be as the first message?

Since I rejoined the community with HCE I have noted that AAMs appear to be quite lethal, which wouldn't necessarily be bad, but then I found that SARH missiles will keep on guiding despite having the launching aircraft turning away and I am bit baffled.... For example, playing the "Backyard" scenario in the WestPac battleset, I found that Su-27s and F-18s could fire AA-10s/AIM-7s nearly simultaneously, turn away and lit 'burners, and there's a good chance that the Sparrows will shot down the Sukhois as they will keep on guiding. I thought, or at least I understood from the manual, that this wouldn't be the case.

That is pretty much my question.

Hello, Scenario Editor suddenly became accessible. It may have happened after on of the MS updates to WIN 7, but I'm only guessing as nothing else had been loaded. I have tried an un-install and re-install from the CD and from current download files, but no joy. Anybody have any ideas? Cheers

This question is rather multi-part, but still inter-related: When an air group consists of more than one member of only one aircraft type, how are unused fuel and weapons allocated among the individual members? That is, is each individual member tracked independently, or is there some sort of overall "formula" that determines the allocations? For example, if only one member of a group gets re-fueled, does that fuel remain associated with that one individual member, or does it effectively get distributed evenly among all the group members? Similarly, when an air group expends part of its total available weapons, do those weapons come equally from all members o…

Playing an IOPG battleset, just had one of my subs fire a torpedo at a DD, instead the 2 ADCAPs killed my second LA. Harpoon weirdness....

Can anyone suggest some good scenarios for download here on this site or that are in the game already? i use Larry Bond's Harpoon Commander's Edition. I recently have been into playing scenarios with aircraft carriers or a few airbases vs other carriers/airbases with minimal submarines. For example i really enjoyed Tom1_0 and Tom1_1 I downloaded from this site. Thank you for any help

Hi all I have Hapoon 97 and have played it for years and love it(crashes every now and then but I set the auto save to every 5 min so I don't loose much which files can I use if any to add scenarios to play I also have Harpoon 3 ANW I just don't like the look compared to 97 is there anything I can do? Thanks

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?

Just wanted to say ahoy to all been harpoon deficient since 93 just got HCE and H3ANW takes a little gettin used to,but i am gettin back in the swing of it...... btw i am not exactly a comp whiz and this is my first forum post anywher soooo....if i ask any daft questions or seem daft caveat empor

Harpoon Classic Since Update. My dad has been playing harpoon and noticed there was a problem in the beta update when he was playing, but bare in mind he is running this game in vista. In this picture there are some icons missing for the range and aircraft patrols for the formation editor. will there be a patch that can fix this problem? or would he have to go back to the earlier version before the patch? Many regards Matt

Specifically in the WestPac "Backyard" scenario, I quite frequently observe a minor oddity (that apparently has no adverse effect on game play) but may be some sort of indication of something getting hosed up. What happens every so often is that after a tanker a/c completes its refuelling and after the Split-off dialog has been approved, it displays the dialog for selecting the base for the tanker to return to - but the mileage to the first base (or bases, in some cases) is grossly incorrect. Yet in other instances, it seems to be correct. I'm attaching a game-save here, captured at the point that refueling was just started on Blue air group AWA. As this progres…

Hello out there Would anyone like to migrate some issues per http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/topic/28319-issue-migration/so that we can upgrade the forum software? There is the possibility of a small stipend if that would motivate your kids or friends to do the work (assume $0.50 US per issue). There are 207 issues, one has been migrated, leaving 206.

First, I may be over-generalizing the screen names, so forgive me as I am not in front of my home computer. When a unit is first detected, but not classified, the icon appears in yellow on the main screen. Once detected and classified, it appears in red as a solitary icon representing any number of actual ships/aircraft/subs. In this case, lets talk surface ships. In the Pakistan Blockade scenario, the Indian group was first three, then seven, and finally eight platforms represented by the single ship icon as they were classified. Do enemy units that have been detected and classified appear individually in the more detailed upper left-hand screen? It does show in…

Tony...I don't know how you feel about question relating to the "Ultimate Edition" here. If you are opposed just say. The version is 2009.050. Can you give any insight as to how that compares to your most current 2010.10 beta? Essentially, how "current" is the 2010.10 Ultimate version?

Newbie still fumbling around here So a good approach is to install HUCE and then the HarpGamer updates to that version of Harpoon, as this is the supported version of HCE? Please tell me the updates are cumulative? Is there some sort of app supporting changing databases around or is that just done down in the files and folders yourself? And is there some sort of database viewer? Any advice much appreciated and will save me hours of digging around to rediscover the secret of the wheel.

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

I have encountered a situation where lowering my plane group altitude from Low to Vlow results in an immediate warning that my planes are detectable and that I should turn on my radar. I inadvertently have a near perfect example in a saved game. I was concerned that going to Vlow might crash planes from pilot error, so I saved the game before doing it. I would upload it as an attachment here, but the forum tells me I am not allowed to upload a file of this type -- it is "autosave.hpq". So I had to cheat a bit to get past your security. If you get rid of the " - Copy" part of the filename and change the file extension from "txt" to "hpq", it should work and y…
