Requests for the HCDB (Official DB of HCE) and HCDB2

[cdnice55]

A question. Is the CF188 in the database the original tech or with the updated tech for the current modernization?

[CV32]

Yes, the version currently found in the HCDB is the updated aircraft. (Sorry for the delayed reply). Would you like to see the original variant in the DB ?

Noticed this when creating a scenario the other day...

 

Any unit that has the same name as another unit in the game won't have all its units available if you used one already. This is particularly true of the sam systems with names such as 'sam site 01', etc This is particularly troublesome when trying to use a sam system that has only 12 named units listed, and you've already used all 12 names with other sam types.

 

Suggestion: Can we have a larger list of SAM generic names, or possibly rename them so that each sam system has its own unique naming forumula such as SA-2 01, etc?

[CV32]

This can be a problem when you need to add a lot of SAM systems to a scenario. What I have been meaning to do is simply increase the number of available units for each type of SAM system.

I'm trying to base some B-52 bombers at U-Tapao airbase in Thailand and finding the runway size isn't large enough. Is this something that might be changed?

Yup. Just checked it and runway length is apparently 11,500 ft, long enough to qualify it for Vlarge. Consider it fixed. Thanks.

Perhaps there should be a new category of surface combatant? The "UnDead" class?

 

They could communicate through Jennifer Love Hewitt of the Ghost Whisperer.

When they put in the contract for the subs from HDW they also had serious talks about a Multi Role Helicopter Dock Ship

it was listed in the newest janes and looks like plans are going forward with the order. All indications are that they will use the same specs as others being talked about for South Africa:

Thanks for the suggestions, eclipse. Some good ones there that I will need to look into.

 

As far as the Alpha Jets are concerned, unless the Portuguese aircraft differ significantly from others, I'd suggest you look at and use the Alpha Jet entry listed as one of the International (INTL) platforms.

Thank You for the great databases, and sorry for missing the alphajet in the INTL section those will work fine.
