Defect Tracking

Hey Tony While helping Eric on a issue I became aware of an issue. We find out that a 0kts problem Eric was having occur in version 2021.014 but was not occurring with his test scenario with my computer which was only at 2021.012. He down his version and it fixed the problem for him. I decided to update to 2021.014 but got the attach popups. I tried to do this with the latest 2022 version with same effect. I then tried to go back to 2018 version to start reloading up to the latest version but the same popups occurred. It seems to indicate my winharp.exe is now out dated. I changed nothing an use the process of updates to the latest version of 2021.…

Defect Name: Aircraft Grouping Not Logical Build: 2007.000 (Aug 12 2007 Release) Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP Database: I have no idea - the standard thing that goes with HDSC 10.0 Scenario: grouping_problem.zip Long Description: I'm used (HC 2002) to the fact that aircraft flying in one group are in a tight formation that causes them to appear as one icon both on Group Map and Unit Map. In HCE it seems to be different. In the attached scenario, I have launched an attack group comprised of two SEAD A-6s, one SEAD F-18 and two F-14s for AA cover. Unforutnately, HCE for some reason decided that the SEAD aircraft should fly some considerable distance in front …

With 2 ship task group I launched 6 AC in a group. After Splitting AC only the first plane lands from Air Group ABA after game is saved and then restarted. I launched 3 plane from each ship in 1 group. Split Plane group so that planes would land on the correct ship. Landing Test 5-Landing plane 1 is where I saved the game. After that group ABA wouldn't land anymore planes. Included in my file is the test scenario, several saved games and a copy of my db. This issue appears to be similar to the issue we had with base patrols becoming corrupt after saving a game. Thanks to DonT's tool box you are able to save the planes in the group that haven't la…

If a target is ordered to be attacked by an aircraft within gun range but outside gun arc (with no other weapons available) then a staff message is received "Sir, should we engage with only cannon fire?" If you answer yes the game will crash. If you answer no then your plane proceeds on its current course with no action. If you determine the bearing of the enemy plane using ctrlF then use course editor F3 to head generally in that direction you can engage the enemy. I'd expect that you should be able to answer yes to the staff message and have your aircraft turn to engage (if it turns fast enough), or at least not crash game. The test uses westpac BS and HCWW-101…

Currently surface and submarine groups will tear off after detected threats and never get back to their original course, greatly limiting the careful course plotting the scenario author laid out. The toggle will be per scenario and exposed somewhere in the SE's UI. At…

Issue Information Issue ID #000063 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2009.102 Fixed in VTOL Tu-22MPosted by Grumble on 26 October 2013 - 12:55 PM Planes are ignoring runway size (in HDS8?). The very least AI formation patrols and scenario embedded strike missions do.
