Yep Mike, literally thousands of code changes in the last month, special projects, the very limited Harpoon time is packed.

Which is probably a smart move on your part considering whats coming. I think you know that though and have faith you'll keep driving Harpoon forward. You're a pretty talented cat and Don is very lucky to have you.

Things are moving forward here to so might be seeing you at a convention or wargaming thing soon. First one's on me!

Amono,

Actually I owe you after I've dug a little deeper into the Tomcat's performance. I'd mentioned the ability to jettison drop tanks and yesterday I was suddenly wondering why we'd need to jettison the F-14's drop tanks, when they are "supersonic" rated and don't impose a penalty on the Tomcat's DATA value.

I took a look in the HUD3 and unfortunately we missed including a weapon flag in the Reimer Editor. The flag is called, "Aircraft Load Override" and allows Database Editors to circumvent the DATA penalty drop tanks (or any other weapon) impose on an aircraft's DATA value.

The flag can still be set using the H3ANW Editor (Database), and I'm making a list of final edits I'll need to make using H3CD before I release the next HUD3 update. I've listed the missing flag on AGSI's bug tracker so a fix is pending.

Thanks again for raising this issue, it's cleared two minor problems up - Explanation of the Jettison feature and the missing Weapon Flag. Feel free to fire anything else you find my way, hope your enjoying Harpoon.

Cheers

Darren

My fianc�e can tell you how much I'm enjoying Harpoon(both ANW & HCE)

Untill the DB update the jettison drop tanks is very usefull command as my Tomcats(and other planes) are doing much better evading incoming missiles.

Thanks again

I have to apologise and add a correction.

The flag is available in both Database Editors. Although it is named differently in the game editor and Reimer Editor.

The naming conventions are as follows:

H3CD (game editor) - Aircraft Load Override.

H3RE (Reimer Editor) - Reverse Load Logic.

Although named differently, the flags serve the same purpose.

Cheers

Darren
