Database Design & Discussion

I'm having a problem with a new Mk41 VSL mount. I'll add the missiles I want add the mount to the ship the export the DB to the game but when I look at the ship it will say I have 17x 40mm Bofor cannon on that mount. I go back and check the DB and it is as I built it. I imported an older DB looked at my mounts and Is is it has changed to the 40mm Bofors load out. Someing happens when I export the DM. I've tried changing things around but always ended up with the same result. I don't think I broke any rule as I modeled my mount after other Mk41 VLSs I've seen in the DB. Anyone have a idea how to fix this?

Snake Island is located 35 km from the coast, east of the mouth of the Danube River. The island's coordinates are 45°15′N 30°12′E. The island is X-shaped, 690 meters from S-W to N-E by 682 meters from N-W to S-E, covering an area of 0.205 km2 (0.079 sq mi). The highest area is 41 metres (135 ft) above sea level. The island does not have a prominently featured mountain, but rather a low-slope hill. Snake Island is the Island that the Ukrainians defending the is sent the Russian commander who asked them to surrender and got a very well known message in return. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Island_during_the_2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine View full re…

Is there a way to obtain Access 97, or another version of MS Access, as freeware? I do not have it and would like to be able to use the PE but do not feel like buying Access from Microsoft.

Someone remember if the Sonars Modifiers named Active and Passive in the Platform editor are disabled? If not, what is the effect of the modifiers? The values it sembles can be something as (it's not a exhaustive list, but I think those are the presente values): Passive, low noise: 246, 241 (Seawolf, Ohio, CAPTOR), 251 (Oscar II, Delta IV, Lafayette, Providence, Akula II, Improved Akula, Sierra II), Passive, high noise: 15, 226 (Noisemaker) Active, low noise/reflective size: 246, 251 (Seawolf, CAPTOR, Akula II, Improved Akula, Sierra II) Active, high noise/reflective size: 226 (Noisemaker),

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 game there are: Torpedo Sub-Types: (these are stored in the F1 annex Guidance field so 66 = 'B', 78 = 'x', etc.) 'B' - Active/Passive seeker '2' - Double-wire guided None 'P' - Passive Seeker '1' - Single-wire guided 'S' - Straight-running Unknown 'X', 'x' - Wake following, term active 'A' - Active seeker (this one is not in the default PE for some reason) Torpedo Codes: DE Payload Quiet

File Name: HC_Atlantic_DB File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 16 Aug 2007 File Updated: 16 Mar 2008 File Category: Databases Authors: René Haar Game Version: No Information Atlantic_DB is focused on the Atlantique Ocean containing all American and African Countrys with a coastline on the Atlantic+Australia. And it features selected European Countrys including the former USSR and now Russia It is a regional DB for the period from around 1975-2005. It has the same philosophy for base structure, weapon and senor data/modells. No long range weapons (SAM/SSM) will be fitted to Harbours/Airbases. So a Scen-Writer has to add mobile Units to replace the SAM…

How can someone know if a plane is armed with guns or not? I am looking in the editor and I can't tell which planes have guns and which don't. Can someone fill me in? I was trying something out on Thunder Dragon and I can't get the MiG-17F Fresco C to intercept the American aircraft. Normally, the Staff will show me the distance and ask me if I want to intercept regardless if the plane has insufficient range to actually carry out the mission. However, I can't even get that far. I've tried to move them closer before trying to attack again, but still no luck. Could it be that they have no armament? Can you take a look at this platform, please?

Sorry folks I sent this question to the wrong forum. I downloaded add-on 080401 and incorperated it into my data base and did not find the new platforms. my path is Matrixgames\HCE\BattlesetBuilder. What is the currect path and proceedure? Thanks -Richard

The Northrop Grumman RQ-180 is an American stealth unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveillance aircraft intended for contested airspace. As of 2019, there had been no images or statements released, but growing evidence points to the existence of the RQ-180 and its use in regular front-line service. After the retirement of the SR-71 Blackbird in 1999, the US Air Force lacked an intelligence platform capable of penetrating airspace guarded by advanced air defense systems. The RQ-180 was designed to fulfill the mission previously accomplished by the high-speed SR-71. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_RQ-180 https://theaviationgeekclub.com/427th-re…

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

This is a web site of I think recent creation, probably interesting: https://naval-encyclopedia.com/cold-war/us/skate-class.php

WARNING !!! Aircraft entries 10469 Yak-38 and 11592 Yak-38M are rated as with "Propulsion: Jet, CVL cpbl", if that is not changed to "Propulsion: VTOL & Helicopter", they can't be loaded building a scenario on the Kiev-class and derivatives CVH (ship entries 2147, 3325, 2148, 2263), rated correctly as with only a VTOL runway. And if I changed it on my DB and make a scenario, the scenario very probably will crash when playing in a not-modified on that sense DB.

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…

Following the various comments about stealth shoot-downs of AEW birds and other planes, I made up a test scenario and modified some platforms. First I found thru the radar logging that the AEW radars actually do need the LDSD flag, without that flag, radar range is reduced by 50% when detecting any aircraft at an altitude lower than the plane. Brad kindly added the flag to the latest HCDB. Last night I restarted Fred Galano's MedWar scenario and the difference in AEW performance was fantastic. Planes could get close to me but now I could reliably detect even Su-24 aircraft before they could fire on me. Thanks Brad!
