Point Luck -> WiTP veteran New AE recruit Seeks Help (1/27/2010 1:38:24 AM)

I’m having difficulty understanding the reconnaissance setting

I select a PBY squadron with 6 aircraft, I set to 100% and select “set on map” I select my search area and when I’m complete I get 6 - 10 degree arcs in blue and three in yellow, I cannot figure out what the three yellow arcs represent.

Also I read that you had to have WiTP loaded on your machine before you load AE – I loaded AE on my laptop but didn’t bother to load WiTP –It appears that AE is running fine m I missing something here other than all the WiTP scenarios

THANKS

I believe that one represents search area flown during AM missions and the other during the PM mission phase.

Yes Blue = morning search, and Green = afternoon search. Also I wouldn't set a search group on 100%, maybe 70% at the most, or they will wear-down quickly.

AE is a stand alone installation.

The Interface Addendum in the documents folder explains the search interface, or you can look at one of the simple video tutorials http://sites.google.com/site/n01487477 on search patrols.

[edit] just put it up again in high res, plus a little on ASW

I've never run a squadron at 100% search before. I find it interesting that only 50% of the aircraft fly in the PM phase. It looks like running them at higher than 70% is a waste of effort.

THANKS ALL

That makes sense - Yea I know about the 100% search, I'm still walking around the game feeling my way and seeing what's changed from WiTP

Again Thanks

This may also help quite a bit

The OP never indicated that he set for 120 degrees...he may have set for 90 degrees.
