Just two weeks after its arrival, which set a new standard in the modern naval/air warfare simulation games genre, Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations is about to get even better thanks to the v1.01 Update provided by Warfare Sims (www.warfaresims.com).
The v1.01 Update fixes virtually all consistent crash bugs and AI bugs (vastly reduced airbase traffic jams, no more "my bombs aren't dropping"). It also features a massive performance increase, both for UI (map zoom/pan) and sim execution (which in turn means even better scalability). Also the high-fidelity mode (0.1 sec pulse in real-time) is now optional instead of mandatory so Command runs great even on low-spec machines - and screams on capable rigs.
This first update contains also enhancements in the UI and the Data Base viewer and improvements in the Scene Editor and in the Simulation mechanics.
Four new scenarios previously available separately (community downloads) are now part of the standard release too:
- Brother against Brother
- Canary's Cage
- Choking Halifax
- Fighter Weapons School - GAT 5&6
Read below the full changelog:

• New Features and Improvements
o Significant performance improvements both on UI map operations (zoom/pan) and sim execution.
o Enhanced stability.
o Added button "Abort Launch" on Air Ops menu. When clicked, any of the selected aircraft which is preparing to launch will abort the sequence and attempt to return to an available parking facility.
o Only aircraft that are in a parking facility can be armed (solves problem of airbase traffic jams due to aircraft being readied while on transit points).
o Added game option: Zoom map to mouse cursor location (instead of camera center).
o Added new game option: Sonobuoy Visibility. Available settings are: Normal, Ghosted and Do Not Show (not reccomended).
o Added new reference-point menu command: De-select all reference points.
o Command's hitherto mandatory high-fidelity mode (0.1-sec pulse length) at 1:1 time setting, is now optional: New game option, "High Fidelity Mode", enabled by default. To switch to 1-sec pulse length at 1:1 (aka coarse mode, similar to how Harpoon 3 runs at 1:1), disable this option. This has the effect of dramatically speeding up gameplay at 1:1 setting.
o DB viewer addition: Dedicated weapon page. Search, filtering etc. work just like any other unit type (except that country-level filtering is not available for weapons). File naming conventions for images & text
o descriptions are Weapon_XXX.jpg and Weapon_XXX.txt respectively.
o While having a weapon selected on the map, clicking on the weapon-class button on the unit status window will bring up the weapon's relevant page in the DB viewer.
o Hold-fire can now be issued on multi-selected units, in addition to single units and groups.
o DB viewer improvements: Valid Targets on weapon page, per-engine maximum speed displayed on powerplant section for all platforms (particularly useful for diesel-electric submarines).
o The "Add Unit" window now remembers all selection filters used on the last unit addition and re-applies them whenever called up.
o 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).
o Helmet-mounted sights (HMS) are now taken into account when deciding how much off-boresight an aircraft can shoot an AAM.
o Aircraft & submarines have more realistic dive rates.
o 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.
o Includes four scenarios that were previously available on the community scenario pack:
Brother against Brother
Canary's Cage
Choking Halifax
Fighter Weapons School - GAT 5&6
