RHS v7.757 scenarios + excel util + air rangers Posted at Send Space and avail at Web Site
changes
Once again we are attempting to freeze on a stable and debugged version of RHS Level 7. Once again, Levels 5 and 6 didn't have any really serious issues - and will update just to keep in sync. However, ALL scenarios at ALL levels had a bad plane art pointer - and indeed no art to point at for the Dutch CIX-W. This set has the right pointer - but unless you download the new Allied plane art filmstrip - it will look like a Duck! [The plane type Duck of course] There is also a new pwhex set - already uploaded - which should be used - mainly for Southern Australia coastal matters. [It helps the pathfinding routine to have proper sandwich of land - coast - sea hexes.] The new pwhex file also adds a hex of Ceylon for land play and corrects 5 mismatched hex sides in Central Asia.
Otherwise this set adds the last 15 identified as missing USN LSTs in the 700 series. There may be more in the 800 series and surely there are more in the 1100 series, but as 1944 arrivals the 700 series had priority.
Level 7 had two Aussie HQ units in the wrong place. All Levels had several HQ units in the wrong command. A tiny bit of AI assist programming was done in the form of assigning aircraft missions to groups.
Investigation of the B-25 Shangra La unit on USS Hornet (in EOS ONLY) indicates that while it appears to be a normal unit, code may not fly it (or not often fly it) on missions (other than transfer). So we have created a special B-25 aircraft - using the B-25C/D art and performance specs and loadout - but defined as a carrier plane in a different sense than other B-25s are. IF this works - we might someday convert the PBJ to a similar format - since it was intended to operate on carriers - and since tests showed it could do so. But this workaround might fail if players do not use the bomber as a medium bomber - at reasonable altitudes. There are problems - since you only give orders once a day - but it might be a good idea to restrict the Shangra La unit in the following sense:
IF the B-25s are given a mission, ALL OTHER squadrons must be stood down on the same ship (USS Hornet presumably); If you want to fly other squadrons, fly off the Shangra La unit to a land base first.
