ORIGINAL: TheElf For both the Jap and allies: 1. How many slots in the database are open? 2. Of those open slots how many are carrier capable? All this is from the standard scenario 15. Some of these slots have been used in the modified scenarios. Japanese have eight: 8, 14, 24, 30, 34, 37, 46, 76 (8, 14, 24, 76 are carrier capable) Allies have 27: 171, 187, 190, 192, 200, 202, 203, 206, 209, 210, 211, 215, 217, 221, 225, 228, 231, 235, 237, 241, 242, 244-249 (244-249 are carrier capable) quote:
3. Do the number of slots in the DB match the number of available planetop and planeside slots? I have read on the forum that there are MORE database slots than icon slots. Apparently there are no icon slots for database positions 244 (or so) and up. I have not played with this and am not sure. quote:
3a. Are there more DB openings than are possible to represent with Planetops or planesides? Yes and No. There appear to be more database entries than icons but more than one database entry can point to a single icon quote:
4. When we know the above, Which A/C can use the same Artfile(ie. FM-2, F4F-4, F4F-3, Martlet etc.) 5. Where possible or deemed necessary which A/C do we really want to have their own unique art file. Matter of choice. Similar aircraft of the same nationality could easily be combined. No one likes to do this but it will probably be necessary. quote:
6. Can we delete current Planetops that NEVER appear in the Game so as to make room for new aircraft(ex. delete the Catalina or Mavis Planetop in favor of the F8F, or Kikka) 7. If we do step #6, how does that affect the planeSIDE correlation to the original A/C that occupied that slot No, the SINGLE icon bitmap reference points into BOTH the top and side files, so the top and side views are linked. quote:
8. All the above being said, can we expand the planetop/side files so that we don't HAVE to delete ANY A/C and thus avoid the problem altogether. That's a question for Matrix, but I would guess they would be reluctant. I'd like to see at least enough to match the 249 air positions. But then, if you asked me, I'd also like to see more aircraft positions.
