Caltone -> Float Plane Bug new in 1.3 (11/7/2004 7:48:03 PM)

While working my way around the map, I happened to click on a base where I have only float planes stationed. In this case, the float planes are the E7K2's or Alf's. You genereally find these on CL's and occasionally on CA's. You also start the game with a few at land bases.

When I clicked the base, I noticed the range circle didn't extend beyond the original hex. Curious, I looked further and find that the Alf now has all ranges set to 0. Checking other ships and bases, I find this to be true everywhere.

I'm fairly confident this appeared since the last patch. Not exactly a game killer, but will hurt, especially those TF's led by a CL with Alf's onboard.

I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Take a look at the ranges next to the aircraft picture.

Some more info:

This is a PBEM we started with ver 1.21 and patched to 1.3. I just started up a new single player game in 1.3 and everything looks fine with those planes.

So this is a conversion problem, not a 1.3 bug. Any other ships or just this one?



Caltone -> RE: Float Plane Bug new in 1.3 (11/7/2004 9:06:47 PM)

It's all Alf's. All the ones on ships and the ones that are land based.

So I'm guessing no one else encountered this problem? Net result is a couple of my TF's are effectively blind and have to rely exclusively on land based recon. While this is generally OK (the Emily and Mavis are my best spotters), those Alf's had good range and it never hurts to multi sight the enemy. Keep the DL high [8D]

The only solution I could think of would require creating some 1 or 2 plane squadrons to replace the now useless Alf's. And that's gonna require a ton of micro management. Keep flying em till one or two gets disabled, then shift the squadron out, repair the disabled and move to ships, rinse and repeat. Yuck. Anyone got some spare Alf's to sell? [:D]
