Is there an up to date (or nearly so) database for PLAN and PLAAF platforms/weapons? Thanks, Byron

Very interesting and detailed article(s) and web site: https://www.navylookout.com/the-all-rounder-the-30mm-automated-small-calibre-gun-in-focus/

Divefreak has requested an increase to the number of runway sizes in the DB structure and perhaps more importantly to actually include them in the import/export process so that they flow from the PE to the commondb.res and back. This is not a trivial change in terms of level of effort but it is a similar pattern to what we have done in the last couple of months with increasing the number of country names and aircraft types. Level of programming effort for the PE <-> commondb.res changes: ~20 hours Level of programming effort to modify the game logic to understand and use more runway sizes: TBD (research will take ~1 hour) To put the pro…

Question: If you install this Database does it screw anything else up (Other Databases) or you can switch back and forth. I know it stalls a new Common file, what does that affect? Thanks

Perhaps of interest, Turkish Weapons Catalog 2019/1: https://www.ssb.gov.tr/urunkatalog/en/403/

I just fired up the old HCE after many years and noticed that a lot of the unit pictures are missing. First I thought I'd ask how to replace/add them, but perhaps a patch fixes the issue? I looked up and apparently my version is 2009.043.... Where are the patches? I see 2017 is mentioned on the forums. Additionally are there any scenario sites alive apart from this one? I stumble over a lot of dead sites/links out there, and even a lot of the harpgamer links are dead.

Legacy standoff ASW weapons, like ASROC, relied purely on inertial guidance to put them on the target's last known position prior to launch. If the target was maneuvering, or moving rapidly, there could potentially be a largish discrepancy between its current position and the splashdown point of the torpedo. That said, some modern standoff ASW weapons, like the French/Italian MILAS, for example, are capable of receiving target updates from the parent ship, so that their terminal accuracy is considerably improved. How do we accommodate both possibilities?

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)

Brad, just downloaded Don´s latest scen, Diego Garcia, which will bring me a lot of fun and nerve-racking battles Included is the F-35 Lightning. I was surprised that both loadouts Intercept and Patrol only allocate four long range missiles to this aicraft. Thought it carried short range IR guided ones, too. Six to eight all in all. Is that bird really so poorly armed and thus not really well suited for dogfight? Regards, Ralf

As discussed in the other thread, I am toying with the idea of a new, revamped HCDB that would look to fully exploit the new increased entry limits in the DB annexes. This new version of HCDB would depart from the stock scenarios supplied with the sim and from all scenarios created with the DB up to the point of departure. The old version of HCDB (1980-2015) would be maintained in place to preserve compatibility with those older scenarios. Goals for the new HCDB would include: * a focus on the post Cold War period (post 1991) * getting rid of the large amount of duplication in the Installations annex (no longer necessary now that we can rename units an…

File Name: HCDB2-170909 (1980-2025) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 04 Dec 2016 File Category: Databases HCDB2-170909 This is the latest release version of the HCDB2 database for Harpoon Commander's Edition. This version replaces the previous iteration, HCDB2-170714. The legacy HCE Battleset scenarios will NOT function with this database installed. The HCDB2 will adhere to a policy of adding platforms but not deleting to retain backwards compatibility with all HCDB2 scenarios. There will be a period of time - while the HCDB2 structure is being finalized - where the above policy may be suspended. Unzip this file into your HCE main directory. It will o…

I haven't play for a couple of years and I have forgotten how to start the HCE Platform Editor... Can anybody help me? Harpoon Ultimate Commanders Edition v2009.097 + Windows Vista + MS Access 2007 Thanks a lot.

Reading this very interesting USNI article, I was thinking in something similar to this for a new damage point calculation based in the named "Navy’s Survivability Instruction 9070.1A are taken into account in designing U.S. Navy surface ships to three survivability standards", affecting mostly auxiliary and low-value ships (analogy can be applied to other navies/ships), as for me many civilian/merchant ships (also in other time periods) receive too many damage/hit points: Level 3: CVN, CG, DDG (and decommisioned BB, CV, CVN, CG/CGN, DD/DDG, FF/FFG?). I think this Level 3 can keep 100% hit points derived from her standard displacement, as usual (previously to constru…

Hello, I copied the Melbourne to create the Bonaventure for Canada. I did not make any adjustments that I remember other than the country and the names. Attached pic of error for review. Thanks, Dale

Who can help narrow down the issue GKM is seeing? http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/tracker/issue-144-platform-annex-mount-annex/
