Issue Information ⦁ Issue ID #000030 ⦁ Issue Type Issue ⦁ Severity 0 – None Assigned ⦁ Status 12 – Working as Intended ⦁ Version 2009.083 ⦁ Fixed in Radar LOS calculation errorPosted by Grumble on 21 July 2013 - 01:33 PM Radar LOS is not calculated correctly, radars detect targets over the horizon and LOS. Most recently I observed this in HDS3 9.0, I hoped to be able to "sneak out" my Tel Aviv Hawkeye from under the Damascus SAM umbrella by pairing it with a ground attack a/c. (Otherwise the Hawkeye is spawned at high altitude immediately at take off, which I guess is a compromise for AEW, but a painful one.) The trick works, the Hawkeye-Skyhawk twosome start…

Issue Information Issue ID #000002 Issue Type Issue Severity 3 – Medium Status 23 – Fix Accepted By Reporter Version 2009.066 Fixed in 2009.069 ECM and decoys mathematical problemPosted by broncepulido on 18 November 2012 - 01:52 PM I've detected a big problem yesterday in the mathematical model of the ECM and Decoys in HCE. When editing the Battle of Baltim scenario, as I'm not very satisfaced with the very low levels of ECM and decoys, and also I've lowered the SS-N-2a Styx to a probably more realistic 35%, and employed Decoys Level 2 with a value of 40% (as historically in Latakia and Baltim ALL the Styx fired were decoyed with ECM or decoys, and no…

Only 2 of the 5 fighter groups refueled. Other 3 were left high and dry Attached is the latest version of my db, a couple saved games, and the GE log file with refuel logging set in the HC Launcher. Before the changes were made with Refueling each group received an equal amount of fuel from the tankers. If you have any questions please let me know. I wa…

Issue Information Issue ID #000198 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 0000.000 Fixed in Main Body Convergence ProblemPosted by Nightshade111 on 18 October 2017 - 09:26 AM I'm having a problem with moving ships within the main body ring. If my ships are sailing on a course and I try to move 1 or more ships within the main body then those particular ships whose position I'm shifting (within the main body) all converge together at one point within the main body ring. The only solution I've found to make adjustments within that ring is to cancel the formation's course until the particular ships I'm moving take up their new position…

After capturing bases some of the text on base is jumbled up and unreadable. It looks like the text is on top of each other in the Unit Window. In my game I have turned over4 bases. The text on 2 of them is OK. The other 2 are jumbled up. I am not sure if the GE is causing the issue or Turncoat. I will try a smaller scenario and see if the same thing happens. You will need to use my fictional db. The Ugly The Good Unit ID Test 1-71.zip

Issue Information Issue ID #000096 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 90 – Not an Issue Version 2014.020 Fixed in 2014.020 Helo blip enhancer too effective?Posted by CV32 on 30 October 2014 - 05:11 AM Launched an ASuW strike of more than a dozen antiship missiles at an enemy surface group. A pair of enemy helicopters (Helix, iirc) along the missile flight path decoyed ALL of the missiles. I will try and get a useful savegame, but this might be a tweaking issue rather than a bug as such. Issue-096-Helo-blip-enhancer-too-effective.pdf

Issue Information Issue ID #000016 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2009.076 Fixed in Debug Assertion Failed Wespac Scenario CrashPosted by eeustice on 06 May 2013 - 07:21 PM Edited Westpac scenario The Backyard crashed with a Debug Assertion Failed message just as a group of F-14 ran out of gas and crashed into the sea just before getting to their carrier. I have included in the zipped files the last 2 saved games the launcher saved. I also had a CV group AEC just vanish from the screen a while before that. If you wanted to land planes on the carrier you could see it in the Select Group for landing window however it NM w…

Issue Information ⦁ Issue ID #000159 ⦁ Issue Type Issue ⦁ Severity 0 – None Assigned ⦁ Status 12 – Working as Intended ⦁ Version 2016.017 ⦁ Fixed in 2016.017 Fox-3, but activating radar!Posted by broncepulido on 23 August 2016 - 11:14 AM Testing the F-35A Learning Curve scenario I see when a F-35A flight (or Portuguese Air Force F-16) is ordered to intercept Russian warplanes, even within or beyond AIM-120 AMRAAM missile range, the F-35A (or F-16) radar is activated, delating our presence to the opossite side. One of the main ideas of active radar homing missiles is to not reveal the launcher plane position, but with those actiones their position is revealed…

Issue Information Issue ID #000061 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.102 Fixed in Click to refresh screenPosted by Grumble on 26 October 2013 - 08:59 AM A strange one, playing HDS8 9.0, Demise of the 7th fleet, about 12 hours into the scenario the Group window is only being refreshed (redrawn) once a minute (~) real time, Unit window is refreshed normally. I can force Group refresh if I click in the Group window. The issue is consistent, persists through save/reload, both with 2009.097 and 2009.102 and tested on two machines. Other scenarios, but even saves of HDS8 9.0 from few hours earlier are OK. Corrupt save file?? L…

Issue Information Issue ID #000106 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2014.019 Fixed in Ships traveling on landPosted by SteveF on 22 March 2015 - 01:23 AM Good morning! I've been playing Harpoon since about 1998 and have run into this issue for years. The Opfor see's my battle group and heads directly for my group even if it means traveling across dry land. Is there a fix that may be coming at some time? Thanks, Issue-106-Ships-traveling-on-land.pdf

Issue Information Issue ID #000040 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.086 Fixed in 2009.090 Tame AIPosted by Grumble on 13 August 2013 - 02:12 AM Tony, I know it is a known issue that the AI becomes less aggressive or less agile towards the end of scenarios, i.e. as time passes by. I think it was Brad confirming it to someone in a post. Is this bug a lost cause? Like it has been IDed but would require complete redesign of the AI to correct it? Please let me know if I'm wasting my time reporting on it! But I hope the fat lady has not sung yet, here are a few observations from my latest run in with the tame AI. This is HDS5 …

Issue Information ⦁ Issue ID #000073 ⦁ Issue Type Issue ⦁ Severity 0 – None Assigned ⦁ Status 21 - Fix Coded ⦁ Version 2014.009 ⦁ Fixed in 2014.010 Terminal engagement sometimes does not occurPosted by CV32 on 23 May 2014 - 01:36 PM May be related to the current work in missile guidance, or at least that would be my uneducated guess. Behaviour is as follows: Active RH missile (whether AAM, ASM or SSM) appears to reach its intended target and then disappear. As if the terminal engagement did not happen. The behaviour appears to be inconsistent. Savegame is from HDS1 scenario 3.0 - Circle the Wagons Check the Harpoon SSM engagement in the North Sea. Issu…

Issue Information Issue ID #000029 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2009.084 Fixed in HDS3 range circles off by 10%Posted by Grumble on 16 July 2013 - 12:53 AM Range circles in HDS3 are displayed 10% shorter than the nominal value. This does not seem to effect the game mechanics, for example AAM attacks are made from the true possible distance, but the display shows that AAMs are fired when the target is still outside of the AAM range circle. First I spotted only the AAM discrepancy but click-measuring easily shows that all circles are off. E.g. clicking the opposite edges of Phoenix AAM range circle: 199-200nm (expect…

Issue Information Issue ID #000079 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 90 – Not an Issue Version 2014.010 Fixed in 2014.010 Formation air patrols "created" by the Game EnginePosted by broncepulido on 19 July 2014 - 11:17 PM Testing my own finished Manila Galleon 1988 scenario, I saw an issue almost detected in other scenarios not designed by me, when I asked myself how someone can design strange and many AEW patrols with helicopters devoid of radar. As this was designed by me, I did some research on it and clearly: - In the Peleliu and Trípoli groups, the formation editor creates, show and operates a lot of AEW patrols with 1xAssault he…
