The attached scenario is run in westpac BS using HCDB 150929 database. GE 2024.006. There is a single sub. THe max speed of this sub on surface is 10 kts. It is currently submerged and traveling at its max speed or 21 kts. Use command F2 to set the speed/depth to surfaced and any speed about 10, say 15. Execute the command and the sub continues on the surface at an illegal speed. If you set the speed again you are now only able to set the legal speeds if it remains surfaced. A similar thing happens with subs that have a higher surface speed than their max submerged speed. I would expect that when changing the speed/alt from submerged to surface you should only be able to set legal surface speeds. SubChngeDepth_Spd.scq.zip-

If a target is ordered to be attacked by an aircraft within gun range but outside gun arc (with no other weapons available) then a staff message is received "Sir, should we engage with only cannon fire?" If you answer yes the game will crash. If you answer no then your plane proceeds on its current course with no action. If you determine the bearing of the enemy plane using ctrlF then use course editor F3 to head generally in that direction you can engage the enemy. I'd expect that you should be able to answer yes to the staff message and have your aircraft turn to engage (if it turns fast enough), or at least not crash game. The test uses westpac BS and HCWW-101110 DB. I used GE version 2024.006 (but I've been seeing the issue for quite some time). To reproduce start the saved game, your (sole) aircraft group should be active (selected), the enemy plane group is likely hidden in the GUI but is visible, issue attack F1 command (there should be only one available target) and answer yes to the staff message. There is a brief pause of a a few seconds and the game crashes. The saved game and the original scenario are included. WW_cannon_GunArc.scq.zip

submarine launch missile at non localised target unit
donaldseadog posted a topic in Defect Tracking
BS=Medc2003, DB=HCDB2-170909 & GE=2024.006 Situation: SG ABS (blue) comprises two units, AB00 I believe is not detected by the red enemy or at least they have no indication of location. AB01 they have exact location. They fire missile at both units. I believe that the missiles are targeting AB00 as if they had an exact location but they do not. Two saved games are zipped, AShM-SL005 is a couple of seconds before SLSSMatNotKnownTarget. Open game AShM-SL005, the red enemy has approx fix on AB01 and no fix on AB00, within a sec (or two) an exact fix is obtained on AB01 and missiles are fired at both units although red enemy still has no location of AB00. SLSSMatNotKnownTarget simply shows this situation at time of firing missiles. SLSSMatNotKnownTarget.zip -
IN this attached zip there is the original scenario (attack) and a saved game (ItsGone.0046) - using: Westpac BS and HCDB2-170909 DB I played with GE 2024.003 In the saved game a unit from the group ZXS (now group ZVS) has been destroyed and it's sinking. In a moment the undamaged remaining ship in group ZXS will instantly sink. Analysis shows that in the code the SinkEvent that was associated with the genuine sinking unit of group ZVS seems to have transferred to the non damaged remaining ZXS unit. The sinking ZVS unit never sinks. At the moment this is probably only useful as a funny distraction, I believe I need to go back and try to find when the 'transfer' of the SinkEvent occurs in order to determine where is the error.

It appears that ActGroupPtr (for use with Export.dll) does not ‘fire’ when the selected group in the GE changes by virtue of an air group being split. The Zip file includes the saved game ActGrouPtrNoFIreGrpSplt.hpq and its parent scenario for use in WestPac BS with HCDB 150929 DB . To replicate open the saved game and select the Air group ABA (comprising two F-111), split one plane and follow the normal suggested setting of a course for the new group ACA. The selected group in the game changes from the original Air Group to the new Group but ActGroupPtr does not fire in export.dll addon programs eg LazGUI (see included JPG) and the ActGroupPtr remains the old selected group.

Test uses mk13gmls (one armed bandit), 4 harpoon ssm available and three surface target in range. DB indicates only one harpoon can be fired at a time (single rail launcher) but the restriction isn't applied. Also DB indicates only two targets at a time but can target more. attached zip contains txt explanation of test, original scenario (Westpac BS) used in test, two saved game short cuts and screen shot to help explanation text. Procedure: start scenario mk13gmls.scq (use HCDB-140909 DB, Westpac BS), play blue, continue until detect three enemy ships. This point is save game mk13gmls-1 if you want a short cut. Attack (F1) the enemy and see that the computer allocation is correct for single rail GMLS assigning only one missile. (left diag in JPG file) but you can allocate any number up to the total local mag of 4 *. I have allocated three, one to each target and execute. Wait a little for missile flight part way to target, this is game save mk13gmls-2 and you can see right diagin jpg 3 individual misile units of a single group headed for their respective targets. 1/ Only one missile should be able to launch at a time, but can launch more. 2/ Only 2 targets ( I don't know why two on a single arm launcher but db says 2) should be able to be engaged but can engage more. * re the numbers, in a modified DB with 40 available harpoon in the mk13 I could launch all 40 at the one time.

Land attack (only) missiles are hitting sea platforms. (another TonyD, Eric70, donaldseadog adventure) zip pack includes saved game LAM1.hpq and the scenario file, LAMissile-hcdb-Westpac,from which it has played, the xml file and the GE from a play of the saved game. In the saved game start a flight of three skipjack bombers have attacked the AD AAm with three vollies of KentC Land Attack missiles, and RTB. This plane /loadout combo can't directly attack sea groups( tested seaprately). The outcome varies with different plays but invariably some Kent over run the AD (or the AD is destroyed) and go on to hit the ship Xiangyanghong 21. The Kent shouldn't attack sea platforms, and maybe shouldn't attack their own side. Played with GE 2023.008, database is hcdb-150929, and battleset westpac. It is believed that this has been occurring in previous game versions. LAM1-hcdb-westpac.zip

This occurred in GE 2022.016 but repeated (different scenario) GE 2022.20 Error isn't reproduced in saved game from 1 and 4 seconds prior. GE.LOG file attached in zip, line 689,553 (game time 109392) shows: 109392 Combat5.c:1580 - G AMA:AirAttacker: ZZr.. AirTargetType = (a symbol not copied) 109392 Combat5.c:1602 - G ZZr:target_type = 1, range=4, bearing=88 109392 Combat5.c:1704 - after case, gflag=0, wrange=143, WR.weapon_range=143, attack type (type_aa)=0 Note the attacker is an F16 loaded with pavewave bomb 4 m range. (maybe a help, maybe a herring?) Scenario and two saved games from -1 and -4 seconds included. played in custom battle set with in built database included. 109392 Combat5.c:1791 - wrange Was TRUE, which means WR.weapon_range was TRUE 109392 Combat5.c:1803 - Having Staff ask Sir, the effective attack range for these aircraft is 143 NM. Target range is 4 NM. Should we close and attack? excepFltType_aa.zip

using database hccw 140314 battleset westpac seen in GE 2022.027 scenario SlowTurn_CW_WestPac.scq starts with blue single ship group headed near north and detects a single ship red group just out of gun range approx due west. save game SlowTurn.hpq Blue group has been ordered to attack red group, it has calculated course to close and attack, out of range reported as 3 mile. Group continues on original course for 30 mins but during this time it continues to recalculate the course to close. save game SlowTurn+28.hpq is about 28 min after attack order, in about 2 mins the group will come around on heading for the latest course to close. Research tells me a destroyer should turn on about a 1/4 mile radius (~450 yds), at 30 knots it should do a half mile per min so turn about 90 deg in 45 sec. ? SlowTurn_CW_WestPac.zip

If you wish to start a new Battleset inbuilt scenario and go to the appropriate menu then the description of the scenario should include only the scenario background but it also includes the Blue Orders. The screen shots are from BS giuk 2003, but it seems other BS are the same. Not a critical error effecting play so low priority.

Attached is a simple scenario for westpac BS HCDB2 DB that was used to produce the screen shots, one from scenario editor, one from game. Looking at the weapon LS-6 in the appropriate loadouts for the JH-7B aircraft in Scenario editor it is listed as surf (attack) while in game it is listed as land (attack) and won't attack sea targets. This makes it possible for the scenario writer to send out patrols that are not appropriately loaded for the intended target. MSBS-Loadout.zip

use GE 2022.014, database HCDB2-170909, westpac BS In the zip is the scenario used to produce the saved game, (Important) start the scenario with auto formation patrols enabled, this produced the first MCM Sea Dragon patrol unit AA-001 which is patrolling correctly at low alt to the north east. At game start a second Sea Dragon is set via formation editor F3 to patrol to the south west and is unit AA-002, it is patrolling at medium alt and not dropping any markers. (alts can be seen in the toolbox window) In the formation editor box 001 unit is shown as an ASW Patrol, 002 unit as an AEW Patrol. I would expect both instances to patrol at low altitude and in the formation editor to be listed as ASW patrols. Game play suggests that the helos patrolling at medium alt are not detecting mines. Not shown to maintain simplicity, if an MCM helo is sent out as a Group to patrol it will fly and then hover at low alt, as expected. screenshot: MCMHelo.zip

I've not been able to reproduce from saved games but runtime error for type-aa is occasionally occuring. see screen shot I'll continue to try for a reproducable saved game, it seems more likely to occur in larger rather than smaller scenarios.

GE 2021.009 I tried HCDB and HCDB2, three separate scenarios within westpac battleset, two custom and one battleset scenario (#1), all consistent crash. Air units either in a patrol around a base or as '0' unit in an air group, select in unit window and select "speed" button and game crash every time. (rather disappointing as I got very excited when I saw it )

GE 2021.010, Test save game zip attached, using westpac battleset and hcdb 150929 database At point of start 3 fa 18 detect two helo and a ship. Total victory is to destroy a ship, min victory is to destroy a helo. If you first sink the ship then down the helo you only get min victory, I would expect you'd get both min and total victory as both conditions are met. If you down the helo then sink the ship you get your minimum vic (when helo is downed) and total when ship is sunk, as I'd expect. PS in the same scenario but with no minimum victory set you get total victory when you sink the ship so that is good. victest.zip

Three patrols within formation about Richmond base have been set P3s dropping sonar buoys to track their path. See screen shot, the two P3s patrolling the centre circle only patrol the east of north 1/8th segment. I expect them to patrol the whole central circular zone. Attached is a saved game conducting the patrols, database HCDB, westpac battleset, GE 20221.009 BadFormPatrol.zip

I might have wrongly read TonyE comments on the GE changes but assumed that if no total victory conditions are set in the scenario total victory will be granted if all enemy are destroyed but this doesn't happen if there are remaining neutrals.
