As I have said many times, probably ad nauseum, the only true reward of writing DB content is if others are going to write and (more importantly) share scenarios they have created using the DB.

Some scenario creators, like Enrique in particular, have been stalwart in producing new scenario content.

Otherwise HCE is largely absent of new scenario content.

A DB platform editor that removes the annex limits would be truly excellent, but again it is lost effort if the scenario content does not follow.

I am looking forward to attending the Zoom meeting this evening.

The Israeli Dolphin submarine entry (ID 6254) already has a nuclear version of the Popeye Turbo cruise missile (which for convenience I called the Turbo N, ID 18984). Its in the 650mm torpedo tubes (TT).

Additional dumb question: How do I get my units (ships) to have a starting speed? I've tried it every which way I can think of and nothing seems to work.

 

TIA

Byron

Set the speed before the initial course leg.

Using the Formation Editor, you can then add SAM or AAA batteries in layers around installations, or even simpler, make sure they are situated on land or in appropriate proximity to other facilities you are adding to the base.

This can be of particular importance when you are dealing with a tiny piece of geography like Guam.

Not really reporting, just something I'd never seen before. The subs were 10 miles apart and the ship I was shooting at was a decent amount of off bearing from my LA that I just didn't think of fratricide. Now I know. No biggie, Brad, just a head scratcher

I understand; its just helpful to have thread titles that are descriptive, and can be easily referenced or searched when curious behaviour leads to something else. It has been happened during HCE development more times than I can remember.

No misunderstanding. 🙂

If you're reporting what you think might be odd behaviour, especially anything that might eventually be classified as a bug, it would be helpful if you could use a subject title that concisely and accurately describes the issue. For ease of reference and search later. Thanks in advance.

Many thanks for your reply.

I was aware of the general times-of-day parameters you mentioned and I sort of assumed that they applied generally. But I was just a bit hazy about whether some sort of "seasonal/latitude" adjustment applied to the high northern latitudes so I thought I'd check in the hope of hearing from  "them wot noes" about such things.

I guess the rules work well enough between, say, the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and for, say, 20 or 30 degrees, north and south. So they're fine as a general rule of thumb. But at 50 North (where I am) its  daylight at 2100hrs GMT through May to August but dark at by about 1600hrs from November through January and can't be denied that Midnight off the coast of Northern Norway (or Murmansk) in June is a fair bit brighter than it is in December and that daylight hours that time of year are a whole lot shorter than they are in June! The same goes for the 'low' southern latitudes of course but its not quite as relevant when fighting penguins and whales I suppose!

Maybe I should add it to my wish list but there are probably more pressing, and more important, things to deal with eh?

Anyhow, thanks for clarifying the matter for me, I appreciate it.

Regards,

Given - for example - that there is no terrain model, I expect that we'll probably have to accept a lack of tilting of the Earth on its axis. ☺️

At least for awhile.

I don't think there is any code for visibility according to the lats and longs on the map.

If it is of any assistance, times of day for game purposes are broken down as follows:

2000 - 0400 hours, Night

0400 - 0900 hours, Morning (dawn/twilight)

0900 - 1600 hours, Day

1600 - 2000 hours, Evening (dusk/twilight)
