Defect Name: Tanker aircraft landing error Build: HCE 2008.024 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: startirantwo7.hpi Long Description: Shortly after starting the game one of the tankers (group EQA) splits from its package after completing refueling. The usual box opens and there is the option of where you want the a/c to land. Although I have two carriers within range only one option appears. So I select this option but the a/c goes to the furthest carrier even though the correct distance is displayed for the closer of the two carriers. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Load game and wait for approx 1-2 minutes in game time. Expec…

Since we can now capture bases, I changed the size of the runway on Sinuiju North Korea (ID 52621)from small to large. The base size in the SE and GE do not change size. In the PE the base size is Large. Attached is a scenario with the North Korean base, the latest copy of my db If you have any questions please let me know. Sinuiju North Korea.zip

Sequence to reproduce: 1. Change zone size for formation to 1nm, 2nm, 3nm, 4nm. 2. Re-position ships by ordering them to the same zone they occupied before the ranges were changed Patrol zones centred on wrong position [assigned].gif 3.

I'm playing on the legacy GIUK battleset running the latest beta files on Windows 7, and using HCDB-150928. I've noticed that the Formation Editor is missing the usual buttons to set sizes and assign units to zones! I've attached a save game, simple scenario, and screenshot in the zip. Pressing F4 on any group in both scenario and save should show the problem. This does not happen on GE 2018.002, BTW. formation editor issue files.zip

Hi, I've been playing most of the default Battleset scenarios, specifically WestPac, and have come across an issue where Blue Tanker units are run aground at scenario start of WestPac2 (Pirate War). No issue in official 2015.027. Maybe a beta issue or just me? Screenshot 1: Standard build 2015.027 and HCDB-150928 Screenshot 2: Beta build 2020.003 and HCDB-150929 (Same issue in HCDB2-170909) Thanks

I know these weapons were corrected as four years ago in the game engine because excessive accuracy (don't remember it well now). With many years of delay at last Longshot HAAWC (weapon entry #22580) reached IOC in November 2022, and my idea was to introduce it in the new scenarios after 11/2022. Previously Stand Off ASW are little employed (mostly for old Soviet/Russian SSNs) and I didn't repair on this bug. When a Stand Off ASW weapon is now employed, the torpedo (I didn't tested nuke depth bombs) drops in water TEN NM from the target, and the torpedo never can reach the submarine target. If the launching ship is less than 10 NM from the target, the torp…

Hello Everytime I try to add an helo to a destroyer or a non-CV ship I get this message: 3 days ago everything worked fine but I had a corrupt file at some point when using the PE editor. So I've been uninstalling and reinstalling for 3 times now and since then I always get this message. Any help would be really appreciated.

Test uses mk13gmls (one armed bandit), 4 harpoon ssm available and three surface target in range. DB indicates only one harpoon can be fired at a time (single rail launcher) but the restriction isn't applied. Also DB indicates only two targets at a time but can target more. attached zip contains txt explanation of test, original scenario (Westpac BS) used in test, two saved game short cuts and screen shot to help explanation text. Procedure: start scenario mk13gmls.scq (use HCDB-140909 DB, Westpac BS), play blue, continue until detect three enemy ships. This point is save game mk13gmls-1 if you want a short cut. Attack (F1) the enemy and see that the computer …

When I create my own scenario in the WestPac region, partway through the game, my carrier battle group disappears from the screen. Anyone else have this issue?

I was playing Giuk1 scenerio with the new 2018.05 version with DB 150928 and also tried with 150621. I notice that missile in all versions with midcource guidance would adjust path if target adjusted path unlike inertia and terminal guidance which would only if the target was still in it own sensors range of detection. I engaged with both aim120 and meteors and in all cases the missile directional arrows of flight in group window would point to the intended target yet it would not adjust course to pursue regardless of distance to target and sensors of launch aircraft on or off. They acted as if they did not have the midcourse guidance flag present. The is …

I have tried using this for small changes to a scenario, large changes and twice to create new scenarios but each time I try to save the scenario I get the following error and the editor closes without saving. I have downloaded and installed all updates but error persists... Help!

Icons do not move unless you click on one in the unit or group map. Result is you dont see accurate position of planes and missiles causing you to react slowly and often with disatrous results.

Using db hcdb2 170909, westpac BS, GE 2025.019 In the attach file two save games, one before a save and one shortly after loading the save, named accordingly. Before the save the three units of air group ADA comprising had been in air formation patrol of AAa, but split off using F8 group split command. The other independent air groups of single units had also been patrol units in AAa and split of earlier, one unit at a time with no errors occurring. Two log files are also included, these are from two different loadings of the after save game, one with much less logging but including logging for 'load' and giving what looks like interesting information …

recently while works was done with future data base It was notice on the base selection popup almost all bases only highlighted Blue for Named bases and Red for almost all ZZdonotuse base. It did not matter which color was selected for base creation. The create a base popup determined the color of the base created regardless of the country base popup's color. In short if you selected create red base in pop up screen and chose the only available blue base listed that you wanted it would still be a red base upon selection. This happened with ZZdonotuse red labeled bases if create blue base was selected. The base would be a blue base. It seems only to happen to DB 17909. Att…
