Requests for the HCDB (Official DB of HCE) and HCDB2
I ran across a shelved concept for an FB-22 fighter bomber. Longer range, larger payload than F-22. Would not mind having one of those to experiment with, this would be a great base killer. Here is the link http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys...craft/fb-22.htm

Harpoon Ultimate Edition released!
Any idea when the hard copy is coming out? I had one computer crash and a laptop catch on fire this year, and was very thankful I had hard copies of Harpoon and my Close Combats.

Harpoon Ultimate Edition
Can someone tell me if the scenario editor for HCE works in Windows 7? In not how about the ANW one? Thanks. The HC Scenario Editor works in Windows 7 32-bit. It will not work natively in any 64-bit Windows Version be it 2000, XP, Vista, 7, ... The ANW scenario editor will work in both 32 and 64-bit editions of Windows 7. Thanks, now I know which machine to download it to. Is there a work around?

Effect of Changing Class
I haven't, didn't think about that, but I may be duplicating the work of others. I will see about contacting them next week when I have more time. Thanks for the idea.

Effect of Changing Class
I think that it could affect some scenarios if there is a ViCondition in the scenario that states something like, "Destroy ## FF" and the Sonya has been re-classified as an MCM, it would not likely qualify for such a ViCond. Thanks. Never thought about that one. On the other hand, I can't ever recall seing a Sonya in any scenario, so I might be OK with that one. I also am leaving the hull number for those like the newer Arleigh Burkes that now have names and adding the names to the list, just to avoid a conflict. Will do that also for ships that may have changed names recently.

Effect of Changing Class
Will changing the Type of a ship in the database (in this class INTL Sonya MCM was listed as FF in the database) have an effect on scenarios using that ship other than correctly identifying the type of ship? My concern is that scenarios that use the ship would change, perhaps not correctly including that ship or some other problem (instead of just correctly identifying it). As mentioned earlier, I am new to this, but I am working on adding all of the navies of the Americas as well as updating other fleets (names and omitted classes), at least to Jane's 2004-2005 standard (latest I have).

How bright is the AI?
I have also noticed the AI must have the "Ignore Ships Running Aground" checked off. This has happened to me several times. And I thought the camel was the "Ship of the Desert". Last night I was missing a whole group and they were no where at sea and I had destroyed all the enemy air, so I ended up forming an air group of Harpoon armed F/A-18s and a Hawkeye for long range radar and roamed around Libya until I found them.

Newbie DB design question
I am brand new to scenario and DB design (but not to Harpoon, boxed set in 90, comp version in 95) and have what may be a stupid question. How do you determine the RCS value of a ship? I am currently updating a database to include the fleets of the Americas, I finished most of the work on Cuba this morning. Hopefully one day soon I will be able to share the fleets that go with Tony E's battlesets of the area. Bob Andrepont Louisiana
