Database Design & Discussion

I was looking at this platform in the game today, and noticed that its heaviest warload was two 1,000 lb JDAMs. I thought it was supposed to be able to carry a pair of 2,000 lb JDAMs?

First of all, I'd like to say thanks for the insane amount of work that has been put into this DB! Looking at the installation list I'm seeing every imaginable US military installation! Given that the period 1980 to 1990 has always been the time period I've considered likely for the Cold War to get out of hand, this DB is targeted for me. :) I have noticed that a lot of the aircraft, and possibly other platforms-I haven't checked, lack a value for a field, Runway in the case of a/c. I also notice that these aircraft are not available for assignment within ScenEdit unless you go into Platform Editor and fill in a value for Runway; ie once I put VLarge in the Runwa…

1. Do you have any plans to make the three US version of the F-35 Lightning 2? 2. Do you plan to put the small diameter bomb on any other aircraft? thanks -Tanthier

Hello, i am really impressed about the recent versions of Harpoon HCE. I am spending long and funny hours playing this game. However, I would like to know if the following could be improved. I have noticed that some platforms have not picture assigned. Is it possible that we, users, could add some of them by ourselves? Could someone explain me how to do it? If so, could it be possible to add pcitures for different national planes? For example, F-16 is operated by different countries. Is it possible to show a different pictures depending onf the country you are playing? The last question is about the whether the option of of coast guard/boarding by an as…

I made a scenario involving the French vs United States on the high seas. They have no trouble finding me and shooting my F-35C's down with great regularity. Yet I never seem to find thier? Rafales. I know it is a good plane, but come on it can't be that good. It even hunts down my F-22's with ease. I love this game. Sorry for the complainning. -Rich

I tried to use Brad's new database HCDB-050510. Even with the new method, I can't get it to work. I downloaded the file, unzipped it and pasted it into my b06 folder. I got the message asking if I was sure I wanted to replace the old file with the new file, and I agreed. I know it's there because I have a listing for commondb.res, 675kb, modified 5/10/05 at 8:02 PM. I went to the Westpac scenarios adn tired to load the "Bring on the Payne" user scenario. I got about 2 dozen "Get Annex Error" messages. The program opened finally, both the Payne was nowhere to be found and many of the airbases were named Copenhagen. I did a platform display for all units. There are…

HI , i m new , excuse me if the question has been asked before , i looked at several pages and did not find it. is there a place where we can find images for the HCWW Database units ? Thank you ! (I M SORRY I AM TALKING ABOUT WW2 (HCWW) , not HCCW as my title mentions. i made a mistake in the title)

Does anyone have HC specs for this beautyfull helo? It was in original DB but was erased, certainly since the program was cancelled some years ago. In the DB, thre is still it's sensor "Comanche Radar". Thx.

I had a computer problem recently and lost most of my HCDB's. I would like to Have the HCDB's with the Following Platforms Queen Elizabeth Class CVF Royal Navy F-35 The new Italian Aircraft Carrier MH-60R MH-60S X-45 X-47 AH-1Z A-10C P-8A MMA I would appreciate any help you can give me Ps What is the latest release date for Harpoon Classic Commanders Edition? Thanks Tanthier

I recently read (from a link in harpgamer) the article "Mig Alley" re the korean war. It sounds like a great basis for some harpoon scenarios. I've looked at databases and don't see one that seems to fit the era, is that correct? If I use the new weapons/sensors database (good one) any tips on good places to get suitable info on platforms, particularly planes, from the era. Early jet fighters like the Mig 15s and sabres would be a start.

Some code that I changed years ago has been bothering me. At one point I limited the Damage Points of non-nuclear weapons to 999 DP. That has no functional merit in the code so I've gone back to the old limit of 30,000DP for a conventional weapon. So have fun DB editors, you can make bigger bombs again...

Greetings, Is the SKRUNDA (AR SWATH) PB for Latvia, part of the HUCE DB? Two of four units have been delivered as of 2012 and I was wanting to utilize it, in a planned scenario in my BRICS campaign. If you need details on the class, let me know and I can provide them.

Does anyone recall whether any of the "OEM" databases, going back at least to HC Gold, ever have had Phantom IIs with a loadout that had only the four Sparrows and no Sidewinders, as in the case of some of the early F-4 marks)? Thanks.

Question: The time needed for repairs can be modified in the database? It depends on the type of unit / structure? or the type of damage? (Good idea for the "wish list", structures or bases for repairs "fast" units ...) tanks

Hi to all I am new to HPCE, and i would like to know how to instal the new database thank's Ben Quebec

Would you consider adding the Project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov? I found this on Janes and several other sources: 4500 tonnes 132m armament will include: 8 SS-N-26 SA-N-7 Uragon VLS (I assume similar to SA-17) 1 Kashtan Medvedka 2 SS-N-29 VLS 130mm A-192 Also, after reading Janes and then doing some quick research online I found a few bits of interesting info that is slightly different from the current DB. For Yaseni, most sources I read have 24 missiles (8 launchers with 3 missiles each) which will be a combo of cruise missiles and SS-N-26. Also, all the sources I find has Aster 30 range of approx 100km. For Steregushchiy, everything I can find says that the…

In the process of setting up a scenario using the Middle East battleset and the HCDB-080824, I've noticed that a number of the bases in the smaller gulf nations, for example Shaikh Isa AB in Bahrain, Al Udeid in Qatar, and Al Dhafra in the UAE, are rather seriously misplaced ...

I notice that Kadena AFB on Okinawa is missing from the West Pac battle set. As one of the pillars of the PACAF I hope its' added to the final CE release. I can use a generic AB for it but it's just a matter of principle :>... Is this a function of the platform DB or are bases handled in another way? Thanks!
