Yes, you have a noble side and grabbed the regimental colours and charged forward. I lost a contact lens and wandered around the battlefield in a confused daze.

Here is the change list for 1.8.0.2. Note that we have already found a problem that will occasionally cause excessive delays during DivideCrippledTF processing - caused by erroneously checking everything twice




I encountered this already in ealier versions, so if you ask me, thats nothing new. I hadnt figuered out what causes this though.

btw : gr8 work !

Well i upgraded the game... and i never experienced something like this before... i moved a fully operational Air unit with 27 flyable plane and that is what was left




Now that is something I've never seen before! Did your 27 planes arrive safely at the destination??



This happens all the time to me but the unit left behind always disappears during combat so I have never been overly concerned.

Excellent. Where may one find a comprehensive list of changes.... without downloading the update?

Chez


It's a catch 22 the list of changes is in the update (as always) !

Some notes about this patch:

(1) After 1.8.0.1 came out, we had a few things we'd been working on that were "finished" but hadn't gone through the full test cycle. So, we figured we'd do the testing and release a quick 1.8.0.2 just to get those things out. Well 4 months and 70 items later, it is finally out !!! Part of what happened, was that just when we thought we had the final build and entered a final test cycle, one of the players would send us another save with an issue that we thought was worth addressing. Actually most of the time we spent was in addressing these items. Unfortunately, even after we finally called it "done" people were still sending us saves, of things worth fixing. but at least we don't have to worry about having any material for the next patch !!! But I first and foremost want to thank the players who sent in the saves. They are the guys who made the bug fixes possible. With those saves, our job was the easy past .

(2) Next I'd like to thank Don who did the bulk of the programming on this patch and Nik and MichaelM who did the bulk of the intergration testing. This team (of 4, counting moi) are the guys who work on this stuff every day, any hour, every week (well Don has taken a break, but that was after we turned in the code for production) to get this stuff done. We don't toot our horn too much (we're too busy) but without the effort these guys put in, there would be no patch.

(3) But the big announcement is in regard to MichaelM. Around July, we were able to get MichaelM approved to work on the code with Don and I. And what did MichaelM do? Within a few days, he nailed the "synch" bug !!!! So, please welcome MichaelM to the development team and join us in thanking him for nailing this one, what had been the "toughest of the tough" until he got his hands on it !!! Thanks Michael !!!

We will have some more announcements soon.



Thanks very much for the info. I appreciate all you guys busting butt on this. Thanks for the change listing, Dan.

Chez

I am confused about the disband/withdraw features being romoved. These we not anything I often used but what was the gamey sort of tactic that people were using to require it be removed. It seems to me that there may be valid times to disband or withdraw a unit.

I think it partly revolves around taking float plane/bomber/transport pilots that are of high XP, and disbanding, then adding them to fighter units.

Missed this part the first time I read the thread and responded - this alone is worth another Hip-Hip-Hurah
Michael!!!

BTW, is it possible to write small summary of how this most recent patch deals with pilots (i.e. every change up to date in cohesive manner)?

Thanks in advance!

This will cut me down to maybe two smokes a day as I now have no "excuse" to go out and have a puff while the turn processes.

The problem I had with this feature was that sometimes the disbanded unit would reappear 90 days later with high experience pilots. It was great to get the pilots but not very historical. Had to stop due to that problem. I'm very interested in how that feature will evolve.

In fact every group I have arriving now shows no planes or Pilots, but they had been listed as having some before?

Status: offline 		Item 35 – Allow arriving Japanese airgroups to appear on map with less than maximum aircraft.

Current airgroup arrival processing requires that there be enough aircraft in the pool to fully equip the airgroup. An attempt is made to equip it with upgrade or downgrade aircraft but, if that is not possible, the airgroup is set to “organizing” status until enough aircraft build up in the pool. Since combat operations frequently keep the pool numbers depressed, such airgroups frequently end up perpetually organizing. Allow airgroups to arrive with less than maximum aircraft. This will put them on the board and under player control

Status: offline 		While doing the patch, it was discovered that the Japanese Reinforcement group details showed the numbers from the Editor. Planes still had to be available in the pool for the group to arrive.
It was decided to eliminate the misleading Editor numbers and just show zero until the group arrived with as many planes as it could get hold of.
