Status: offline 		I upgraded to the 044 version. The four battlesets at the end of the list, South Africa, Carribean Basin, South Atlantic and middle east are empty when I open them. Is this a known issue?

Also, where can I see what the weapons are designed to target? Like what can I target with a Precis missle?

Other target designations are: Radar, Air, Sea, Sub, etc.

You can unzip the scenario files directly into your main HCE directory, or alternatively, perhaps create a 'Scenarios' folder where you can drop downloaded scenario files.

Battlesets and scenarios are matched by their filename suffix, i.e. 'scenario.xxx'

More on that here: Understanding HC/HCE filenames

When you call up the battleset you wish to use, only the scenarios compatible with that battleset will show.

Status: offline 		Still having problems.  I assumed that I would have to drop them in the main directory.  I did one 65spy.scs (carribean scenario).  It's in the main directory.  It does'nt show up in the directory, but if I open scenario, I can open it.  But when I do, it immediately says that the time limit has been exceeded and the only option I have is to close.

I think that is the way you are supposed to open it; via the File Open command.

I think that you are using the wrong database with this scenario. If you are using the default HCDB, you might get such an error. The file specifically states:
This uses database HC_65to80_DB_091010 (by "divefreak"), find it in the database downloads (and don't forget to pick up the matching commondb.rsr file in the database section

In this case, its not a matter of the correct database (though it is critically important that you do use the correct one). The scenario author has not set a time limit for his scenario, and that's why you are getting the 'time limit exceeded' message. I will raise this with the author and I expect he will upload a revised version. Thanks for finding this!
