HCE - 2008.060

==============

- Chg:B039 GE Don't let none Intercept/Escort loadout planes peal off from

formation or LR patrols to intercept other planes. Such planes

will now only fire in self defense. This prevents EW birds,

MPAs, and such from going looking for an air to air fight. A

note on LR patrols, they will only peel off to intercept if

the first unit in the group has an Intercept/Escort loadout.

So if a pair of F-15 are escorting an E-3 and the E-3 took

off first, the F-15 won't go off to intercept bandits. If the

F-15s take off first, the group will intercept bandits. It

isn't optimal but is better than what we had.

- Chg:0000 GE Calculate initial aircraft fuel from the slowest Cruise speed

among the Low/Medium/High altitude bands, then calculate

ranges and bingo fuel based upon current altitude. This

aleviates many of the aircraft running out of fuel when

returning from patrol, problems. (thanks Warhorse64)

==============

- Chg:0000 GE Widened the Platform Display just enough so that the existing

information in HCDB and HCUS doesn't wrap lines and cause

mis-alignment.

I'm receiving the attached error with 2008.060 when I try to run any scenario in the WestPac BS except the 2ND and 3RD scenarios. Repeatedly clearing the error eventually clears it and allows normal play.

Hi Tony

 

Will this fix the Bug enterd in Matis too?

 

combination of slow and fast planes?

 

Regards René

You tell me. There is a fair chance it will but I'm a skeptic and will guess that it won't solve that problem.

Are you by chance running a customized database? Maybe I should ask which DB and version you are using. I'm not able to replicate the problem here using HCDB-080824.

Ok, will test it...

Ok there´s a problem with Helos

 

when you switch altitude to med. the Fuel imidiatly goes down to 0%bingo.

 

Returning to low brings backj the old fuel value, for example 96%

 

And Helos on MED crash without returning to base

I can confirm the reporting issue, i.e. helicopter at Low altitude reaching bingo fuel (10%) will then show 0% fuel remaining immediately upon moving to Medium altitude.

 

Transit speed at both altitudes was the same.

 

Displayed (reported) fuel level will return to previous value (<10%) once the helicopter returns to Low altitude.

 

Unlike Rene, my helicopter was able to safely RTB to a fixed location at Medium altitude, all the while reporting 0% fuel.

While my original workaround was valid, the additional ones yesterday have an off-by-one error that I believe is causing this trouble. Hopefully it will be better in the next build.

The PE reports DB as HCDA-080924. I haven't done any customizations on it.

Wrong DB. The HCDA (HC Database Americas) is not for the Westpac battleset.

Try an AEW Helo on a Patrol mission

 

It will launch to medium and stay there until he crashes...

Brad,

 

That was it, thanx. I still occasionally get the DB's misaligned somehow.
