2008.065 and 2008.066 release notes. Use the USNI demo...

 

HCE - 2008.066

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

- Chg:B050 GE Hotkey C does not centre Unit window. Now when c is pressed in

the group window with a group selected, the Unit window will

center around that group on the Unit window as it did in

previousl releases (thanks Herman)

http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...&showbug=50

 

- Chg:B052 GE Arrows keys now work to scroll the Unit window again.

(thanks Herman)

http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...&showbug=52

- Chg:B049 GE Unit window display corruption with Textured Map turned off when

loading saved games. This has been fixed. (thanks Herman)

http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...&showbug=49

- Chg:0000 GE Fixed the flawed active ECM. It was errantly doing extreme amounts of

jamming in many instances. (thanks Ralf)

- Chg:B046 GE Hornets with Decoy loadouts will now prompt the player to close

range in order to attack instead of ignoring the attack order.

(thanks Herman)

- Chg:B051 DB Gave AS-6 the Land Attack flag. (thanks Herman)

HCE - 2008.065

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

- Chg:0000 GE Planes will no longer attempt to immediately refuel upon takeoff

(really they were trying to refuel before they had completed

taking off, now they do their first refuel check when the

whole group is airborn) Thanks T6Simtek

An extra note, heartily test all forms of attacking ships with missiles as the, "- Chg:B046 GE" affects every anti-ship with a missile attack.

don't forget to update the bug tracker as you cross items off here.

 

don't forget about logging, especially when you are testing ECM (the example below logs ecm info to d:\games\hcce\ecmlog.txt)

winharp32.exe -f d:\games\hcce\ecmlog.txt -l ecm

Test scenario for anti-ship weapons (air, surface and sub launched), for USNI GIUK battleset.

 

Only potential problem appears to be with sub launched missiles.

 

Please test and confirm/deny.

Please test and confirm/deny.

 

I whipped up a small test scen that shows AI subs will fired anti-ship missiles. The incoming missiles are detected by the Blue merchant group at just over a half hour into the scenario. Also useful for testing player ability to launch missiles from a sub.

ahem, don't forget to update the bug tracker as you cross items off here.

 

that would mean changing the status to "Fix Verified" and adding any details.

This appears to be fixed in Beta .021.

 

This leaves the Flawed ECM and the Hornet Decoys to be tested here.

Let's actually just call it the Hornet Decoys as the ECM was covered more completely in more recent release notes (i.e. replacement of the escort jamming model).

- Chg:B046 GE Hornets with Decoy loadouts will now prompt the player to close

range in order to attack instead of ignoring the attack order.

This isn't exactly fixed.

Running the saved game with beta .023, ordering the Hornets to attack the surface target will first trigger the "No weapons available for ASuW attack", then bring up the "Attack Range /Target Range/Attack?" dialog. The order is not ignored, though.

agreed, but thankfully that finishes the testing on this build

 

I've marked issue 46 as Confirmed, downgraded from Fix Coded.
