Moving fuel onmap from Aden / Abadan - 3/25/2021 11:00:41 PM

Status: offline 		I've picked up AE again after a longish furlough and decided to play Allies vs Japanese AI for a change (having been a Japanese PBEM player mostly prior to this.) Found getting back into the game great fun and the campaign is going as well as can be expected for the Allied player in mid-Dec 41.

It has become apparent however that I cannot load any fuel from Aden or Abadan on to tankers docked in either port. The options to load fuel (and troops on transport TFs) are greyed out on the TF screen although its possible to load supplies and I'm at a loss to figure out why. If I look at Cape Town I can load all three types on TFs docked there so it appears the issue is with Aden and Abadan only.

I'm playing the Big Babes_B_AEScen28_V15 with Extended Map and wonder if its a map issue of some kind.
Encountered no issues with this configuration in several years as Japanese player but then again didn't use off map travel.

I'm sure I must be missing something obvious and any ideas would be appreciated before I attempt to reinstall the whole thing.

Status: offline 		That does sounds very likely and I'll look into fixing it that way. It was some time ago that I installed the extended map and I don't recall the exact process used at the time. Thanks for the reply.
