Database Design & Discussion

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

Not an important matter, but can the pfbuild2005.mdb be used in a sub folder and import/export the commondb.res file to that sub folder instead of the HUCE root folder. I've tried but can't get it to work, I just would prefer to leave the commondb files alone in the root folder. Don Thomas

I am sorry for asking again, but my last question is whether exists a set of scenarios or campaigns about the Vietnam War, in particular i am interesting in Rolling Thunder campaign and operations LB I&II. Thank you.

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.

Hi Brad or Tony, I have run into a problem which I hope you'll be able to shed some light on .I have added new ships, subs, and planes previously into the Platform Editor with no problem. As of yesterday though I have never added new weapons, its seems that some of my planes are not loaded with the expected weapons in their loadout. However it is only a few planes loadout and not all. I have noticed that some units in the weapons annex had shifted two spots before. That is, I had a Viggen Fighter with an expected ARS-212 Rocket but instead get a Spetsatz Squad. Since the problem is only confined to the weapons annex, I need your assistance to show me if there i…

With a lot of new drone and autonomous weapons it seems to me (once we get back to modernising DBs in some way) that the line between platform and weapon is becoming difficult to decide. Also there is the decision on whether to create single generic items or create a pletherer of individual. Here's what hot my thinking about it (I know infact it's not a new delema) seen in current events https://defence-blog.com/xdown-develops-stud-drone-for-squad-level-strikes/

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!

Thanks Tanthier

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?

What is the Database number that has DDG-1000 in it? Is there a database with the A-6F Intruder2 or the A-12 Avenger2 or the Arsenal Ship in it?

I put the Zumwalt through a few tests to check her sea legs using HCDB-080326 which generated a few observations: o Why a max cruise speed of 18 kts instead of 19 kts? Is this associated with her drive-type? o Why are the 155mm/62 AGS LRLAP rounds modeled as missiles? o Why does the 57mm/70 Mk110 ppq mount have 16 bursts but the 57mm/70 M110 ssq mount have 255 bursts? o The game allows me to use gunfire against a target for which I had a bearing-only, area detection (using sonar). I did not hit while the detection box was big but did when it became near-exact. o She's very stealthy. Thanks, Brad! DN
