Status: offline 		Shouldn't a TF that is not docked in a base hex be listed as "At sea in XY"?
I see some of my Mine sweeping and ASW TFs listed as At sea but even more just list the base as if they were docked but I can't see the difference between them.

Is the Burma Road checked daily?
Using "5" I can trace a path to Rangoon from Tsuyung but I still don't see a "Burma Road Open".

I would like to attach a save but all I get is:

C:\fakepath\wpae004.rar is not supported

Ok changed extention to txt, that did it.

I've looked through your updated list on the first page of this discussion and I can't seem to be able to find where you state these changes.

My JFB side says "oh boy" for my Japanese pbem.

My AFB side says "huh, what do the Allies get in return?" for my Allied pbem.

So what exactly does:
quote:

Fixed Error in some calculations of MP and ARM points for squad-type devices in some places [MEM]

mean? Is now cost for devices closer to 1 Armament Point for 1 load point, as stated in manual?


In some places the ARM points were number of devices times device's load cost.
For squad like devices, it should be ARM points equal to number of devices.

The first method is the cost to build a non-vehicle non-squad device.

Yes daily.
The length of the 'Burma Road' supply is more than the 100 points that '5' key shows, so it can't be used to tell.

Oh and more importantly, the message is in the next build. The one that hasn't been posted yet.

The MTBs was a bug. Building the ships use to get stuck on one day delay or 16 days or such. So switching to the beta often dumps a load of queued 'supply for ships' into the game.
Upgrade of the Zero has nothing to do with the code. That is controlled by the group upgrade paths. However,if you play with user-upgrade, then all bets are basically off.

All total I've played about a bit short of 2 months of turns in PBM with the Beta. I felt confident enough in it to recommend that we upgrade to another PBM opponent ina game that we have up to end of February 1944. Never any guarantees of course, but I say go for it!

I have been playing with the last 4 or 5 versions of the beta and first I want to say great stuff and thanks.

With the latest k9 I am seeing something I haven't seen with AE up until K9 (I installed K8, but never had a chance to play until K9 came out and I don't recall seeing this with K7.

Anyway, the game now always wants to be in the upper left-hand of my monitor.  If I drag the game window to the middle of the monitor, when it updates a screen it draws a large white box beginning at the upper, left-hand side of the screen bounds buy the lower, right-hand corner of the current position of the game window.  This white area may or may no blink a few times and then the game window jumps to the upper, left-hand corner of the screen.

I don't see this with stock, nor with earlier versions of the K series.

I haven' made any changes to the computer in the last few days, so I wanted to report this.

thanks,

EDIT: Just to be clear, some para units have these combat engineers and they stay behind in a fragment.

Thank you witpqs for your answer, I had suspected this beta was stable, and now you have reassured me. So I will now go with this Patch for our new PBEM.

I have John 3rd convinced to install it for his game, but he needs to sell it for his opponent. While talking with him and showing him some of the features, I learned how to left click on destroyed ground units and then exit that window to see how many PP it would cost to get that unit to be available for rebuilding.

That was a great idea, but for the fact that I haven't modified any switches (yet).  I want to start playing around with the resolution settings, but with so many other things to learn about AE, I didn't open that particular can of worms. 

The only switch is the -w, but that is set up by the patch installer and has been there on all of the patches I have used.

Status: offline 		Replacement Pilots

So got suspicious about the replacement pilot pool, so I setup a test.  Modded so that I could pull a LOT of pilots. 

First I pulled all of the pilots out of the pool.  Ran a turn.  Then I pulled another +300 IJN pilots into training squadrons.  No change in pool numbers.  Ran the turn to see if any change.  None.

This picture is the from after the +300 pull, but the "before" screen is identical except that it is the 15 Jan 42.




Shouldn't the number of pilots have dropped? looks like I'm getting free pilots here ....

I ran this in K7, K8, and K9.

Michael: savegame available, but if you still have one of the saves I've sent you with a game date of before ~20Jan you can run this test. Look at Hiroshima squadrons and just fill them up. If you need another save, just let me know.

Well, it was a shot.

FWIW, you may want to try the -altFont switch if you have eyes older than 21-YO. I've used it since early WITP and it reduces strain markedly for me. Doesn't play with resolutions or any of the other complex switchology topics like multi-cores. It just makes every screen easier.

Witpqs,

I don't think so. In stock, the George is NOT a carrier capable aircraft so AFAIK it cannot be used in a "zero" squadron. What I have done in my personal mod (and I have read many others doing the same) to enable this upgrade is to mod the George so that it is carrier capable and then add a house rule that states the George can only be transported by CV, not operated off of them. I haven't read any other solution in the forums ...

Don't know what would becausing that. It would be a directx thing, but nothing has been changed in that area for zonks.
My game shows in the middle when playing normal window mode.
I noticed a large Windows update come in recently. I remenber we had trouble with some things last lime Microsoft did a big update on us.

Suggestion - To make managing device pools easier it would be nice to be able to sort this screen by nationality. (I could then select only the CW devices and turn them off)
Thanks for your excellent support!

The incoming ones to the squadrons? ~20 exp which is what I would expect. So, I cannot tell if it is a reporting screen issue or not.

I was thinking of that (or adding nationality filter) myself but thought that it might not be as useful.

Thanks. I'll try if only if I don't have to sign something saying how long I have been playing wargames. But I will admit to purchasing a copy of Victory in the Pacific from Avalon Hill, 1st addition soon after the game was released... I still love to get it out, set it up and play.

For squad like devices, it should be ARM points equal to number of devices.

The first method is the cost to build a non-vehicle non-squad device.

So now every squad uses always only ONE Armament Point? Well, that could allow giving REAL weight for cavalry.

Michael: Small thing that I think is an old problem, but I noticed Combat Engineer '43 devices can't be paradropped (i.e. too big for a C-47). No biggie if it doesn't get fixed and I don't know what the proper solution would be, but since you're fixing so many other things...

EDIT: Just to be clear, some para units have these combat engineers and they stay behind in a fragment.

Are you sure of that? drops are treated somewhere different, than transport (there was problem with 47mm AT guns in WITP, where you could drop them from any plane, but pick them up only with really large), and squads are treated even differently (I have modified squad with over 20 weight, and it drops normally). I actually can not see any Allied Combat Engineer squad even as big, as infantry. All are smaller.

Replacement Pilots

So got suspicious about the replacement pilot pool, so I setup a test. Modded so that I could pull a LOT of pilots.

First I pulled all of the pilots out of the pool. Ran a turn. Then I pulled another +300 IJN pilots into training squadrons. No change in pool numbers. Ran the turn to see if any change. None.

This picture is the from after the +300 pull, but the "before" screen is identical except that it is the 15 Jan 42.




Shouldn't the number of pilots have dropped? looks like I'm getting free pilots here ....

I ran this in K7, K8, and K9.

It is the same in stock. I have wrote about it earlier. Pilots seems to be "produced" exactly as in WITP, with comparable statistics, no matter of nationality. Actually it is easy to check, just fire up some GC Scenario. You can get pilots for Dutch (which is supposed to be 0), or you can click a while, and fill up Chinese, or Soviet squadrons (they have more capacity, than pools). I thought, that it comes from first side slot, as I have there smaller number, than in the rest, but it is probably only unlucky random generation.

Suggestion - To make managing device pools easier it would be nice to be able to sort this screen by nationality. (I could then select only the CW devices and turn them off)
Thanks for your excellent support!

I was thinking of that (or adding nationality filter) myself but thought that it might not be as useful.


Oh, THREAD!!! yes!!! That would be fantastic!

I'm an Allied device managing geek at heart.

I'm cap_and_gown's opponent. I had no idea that his Zero squadrons were restricted before. Maybe that was a bug and it's now gone? Dunno.

Witpqs,

I don't think so. In stock, the George is NOT a carrier capable aircraft so AFAIK it cannot be used in a "zero" squadron. What I have done in my personal mod (and I have read many others doing the same) to enable this upgrade is to mod the George so that it is carrier capable and then add a house rule that states the George can only be transported by CV, not operated off of them. I haven't read any other solution in the forums ...


Hmm. But if a squadron is upgraded to a non-carrier capable plane, it won't be able to operate from CVs then, right?

I would love this feature. However, I do not think it is possible. The device tab does not have a nationality field. It has a "side" field. So, you can filter on Japanese or Allied. But, the game already does this, since you can't see the other side's device pools.

Michael would have to add a field to the editor, then update all the OOB's for all the scenarios to add this feature. While I'd love it, I doubt it's on the top of the list. I could just be a pessimist.

I think you are right - "Devices" have no nationality.
