Just curious...when is the final version of v1.01 likely to be released? A week? A month? Thanks.

Quick question...some weapons like 12.7 mm. machine guns are now showing 0 DP for damage...is the display just rounding things to the nearest integer or did the actual damage values get erased somehow?

Thanks.

Looks better, but it's still not zooming on the mouse when using the mouse wheel. Is there something I need to do to get it to work?

Did you turn the option on? Go to game settings to set it.

Boy I feel dumb. Yep that's it. Thanks.

I am still getting a slow down on the games clock at times about 1:-2 to 1:-3 sseconds.. Strangly the game it's self does not have any noticeable slow down. Just the clock.but since it's so small of a time effect, game wise it would be hard to detect.

Just curious...was anyone able to check on whether machine guns still do damage? I'm assuming, "yes," but since it's showing at 0 DP, I figured I better let people know so someone can check. Thanks.

Noticed that most 12.7mm guns can't target a/c, either.

Not sure if someone has pointed this out already, but there is a 'Save As' menu option, which allows you to save files to any location on your computer, but no 'open' menu option to then open them back up and Command is only able to open files in the default location.

Edit: This is in the release version, haven't tried beta yet.

Just save to a directory in the Scenario folder, or create your "save as" directory in the Scenario folder, using your preferred name for the newly created folder, and you will be able to load your saved game from there next time. You will be able to access it from the start menu.

Build: 439
Scenario: Basic Training Air Ops 1983

Observation:

After completing a mission task (Land Strike - SAx at airbase - individually selected targets in the mission editor) the group dissolves into individual units and they then seem to do their own thing. Would be nice if they stayed in a group until they either RTBed or I detached them from the group.

v1.01 Release Candidate 3 (Build 440)
---------------------------------------------

Download from here: http://www.warfaresims.com/RC/UpdatePack_B440.zip

Unzip to the main Command folder. Answer "yes" to any overwrite requests.

This pack is cumulative; it includes both previous v1.01 RCs. The release notes below cover only items that have changed since RC2. For the full release notes see RC1 (Build 438) and RC2 (Build 439).

If nothing show-stopping pops up, this will probably constitute the final v1.01 codebase. So please everyone give this a try. We took great pains to address the currently most urgent issues (e.g. air-dropped weapon envelope problems) as well as provide features and fixes for players who have asked them.

RC3 Release notes

Fixed:
-------
- 0005675: Repetative BDA Reports
- 0005734: Assorted tutorials issues
- 0005556: [427] SEAD patrol kirks
- 0005121: It should not be possible to arm/take off aircraft with maintenance/unavailable loadouts
- 0005698: Kilter misses by stupid amount
- 0005730: [438] Weird Shrike Behavior
- 0005069: Shrike ARM misses by several kilometers
- 0005699: Maria and Victoria Again
- 0005672: Mixed Shrike and CBU Issue
- 0005750: A-7 CBU-59 an Shrike Loadout a bad match
- 0005735: Excessive dive rates for subs & aircraft
- 0004279: IRIAF F-14 update
- 0005560: DB3k Update: Combat Aircraft Mag Article on Iranian F-14's

* Aircraft now drop their ordnance much more reliably without manual control (we'd love to boast "100% reliably" but that's just an invitation for an edge case to pop up and throw egg on our face).

* Helmet-mounted sights (HMS) are now taken into account when deciding how much off-boresight an aircraft can shoot an AAM.

* Aircraft & submarines have more realistic dive rates.

* Includes the v395 versions of DB3000 and CWDB. Some of the changes include:
- CH-47F Chinook -- Australia (Army), 2015, 7x
- LHD 01 Canberra [Juan Carlos Class] -- Australia (Navy), 2017, 4x LCM-1E
- LCM-1E -- Australia (Navy), 2015, 12x
- LCM-8 -- Australia (Navy), 1967, 11x
- L 100 Choules [Bay Class] -- Australia (Navy), 2013, Ex-Largs Bay, 1x LCM-8, 2x LCVP, No LCM-1E
- Combined ARM/CBU loadouts have new mission profiles, using Hi-Lo-Hi instead of Hi-Med-Hi.
- SUU-23 gun pods in A/G loadouts on F-4C/D
- SUU-23 loadouts on RAF Phantoms

Indeed, I'd have bought the game regardless, but seeing the work and desire of the devs to make this a fantastic product sold me instantly.

Observation:

This is only a temporary solution. The permament solution is being worked right now but is kinda complex as it affects most aspects of the (highly complex!) mission code.

Thanks!

This is intended, they are pretty useless in the anti-air role.

Does this happen in all scenarios, or just big ones? Have you unchecked the high-fidelity option in the Game Options?

This patched update continually crashes..if I replace the command.exe file with my original install will it be more stable?

To solve this one, load the scenario in the original Command.exe and set time-compression to 1:1. The sim should then load older saves just fine.

Any mission, big or small. I have since even tripled the amount of units in game. And strangely time does not ever slow down past 1:-3 seconds. The gane it self runs fine. It just seems to be a odd issue with the clock. That does it at random. Even when I open a blank scenario. It not a big issue as the game does not share the issue, it's just an annoyance that I spot out of my peripheral vision when it happens.

playing teh First Contact 1986 mission and everytime i select MTB group 3 the section where the ROE options are just disappears and usually just a duplication of the status information appears though its unclickable , also is it right that when a group is selected if i go to the weapons option in the menu that the weapons window that appears is always blank?

Build: 440
Scenario: General Behaviour

Observation:

When the message log has a separate window and actively writing messages, the focus is lost on the main game window. This means the player is left ineffectually clicking on the game window or using keyboard shortcuts, which also do not seem to work when the game window does not have focus. This is especially problematic when the time compression is higher and the message log is being bombarded with messages. Suggest an auto focus back to the main game window or a non-focus change in the first place to the message log window.

Thank you. We will take this into consideration.

v1.01 Release Candidate 4 (Build 441)
---------------------------------------------

Download from here: http://www.warfaresims.com/RC/UpdatePack_B441.zip

Unzip to the main Command folder. Answer "yes" to any overwrite requests.

This pack is cumulative; it includes all previous v1.01 RCs. The release notes below cover only items that have changed since RC3. For the full release notes see RC1 (Build 438), RC2 (Build 439) and RC3 (Build 440).

This build fixes a serious problem related to ARMs that appeared in RC3. Because of its importance, we opted to do one more RC instead of sending this directly to the official release.

RC4 Release notes

Fixed:
-------
- 0005771: ARM's not firing at Search Radar
- 0005770: F-4G Wild Weasel w/ AGM-78 Standard ARM not working at all (Build 440)
- 0005693: [434] BCGN Shooting SA-N-6 at Tico with no hits.

* Ships can now effectively use semi-active SAMs in anti-surface mode, as they are taking terminal illumination concerns into account during pre-fire checks.

* Includes the v396 versions of DB3000 and CWDB. Main change is necessary mods to ARMs to fix firing issues.

I am just in amazement at your timely response to issues that are popping up, devs! a big

for that.

But reading the notes..

- 0005693: [434] BCGN Shooting SA-N-6 at Tico with no hits. Does this mean that the tico is guaranteed to get clobbered, or is the probability of a hit by the BCGN just raised? And is this just for the SA-N-6 or all missiles?

Scenario: General Behaviour

Observation:

When manually allocating weapons, un-committed quantities of weapons are not being counted down as they are allocated.

Observation:

When manually allocating weapons, the "To Anyone" and "By Anyone" tabs do not seem to work as intended. They remain blank regardless of weapon allocations.

Hey, I noticed in 440, the scenario files are dated 10/5/13 and the db is 395. In the 441 package, the dates are 10/1/13 and the db seems to be 394. 396 does not appear to be used by an scenarios. Is this correct?
