It is there in the database of scen #3 and #4 of version 1.4
But the ship's weapons are not the ones for the stated ship's class(see next post)
This would cause confusion for the Ship Information display.
Should be referred to OOB issues.

Nice catch (as usual by you) Michael!

If you look at the real Lex class record #237, you'll see they line up properly.

The difficulty with upgraded classes is you have to go and update all the ship records to match the upgraded class record.

For obvious reasons, that is a monumental task.

You'll probably find hundreds of ships like this. In most cases it doesn't really matter, but Radar is a sore spot.

For the next checker update, I am going to add a specific test to the ship record to ensure that a ship's weapon devices match the actual class weapons.
At the moment the test will usually fail because the number of weapons don't match, but will pass if the number is the same EVEN if the devices differ.
Will also apply to the group record for aircraft weapons.

_GREAT_ !!!

"Pry" told us that he already used your checking utility for last WitP OOB changes and this would help him a lot!

"Pry" already used Michael's checking utility and when Michael adds this new feature in it would help him a lot in future releases...

Sure, if Micheal's utility can actually go look at the scenario start date *then* validate that the class record is the correct one for the date *then* update the the ship record to reflect the actual weapons fit out and class it would be a snap.

After that, it's a simple matter of making minor hand adjustments.

Well, it does do 2 out of the 3 things.

Next, you will be asking me to read someone's mind and just generate ALL the data automatically.

Well, seeing as you are offering ...

Could you throw together a special run that creates a custom leaders file with the leader name replaced with either the ship name or the airgroup name for scenario 15.

It would surely help with the leader bug if we didn't have to think about who was who because their name matched what they were assigned to.

We get 10 people goofing around with that custom scenario, we should have the leader bug fixed in no time.

That's actually an idea I was actually thinking about with myself.
Okay. I'll get back to you tomorrow or the next day with a file.
It is past midnight here so I will tackle it tomorrow when I get home.
