The question will be what about those 6 USN and USAAF BFs that start the war in Philippines. You can pay the PPs to have them change command and get a fragment out to rebuild later. Will I now be able to let them die in the Philippines and pay the PP to rebuild them in San Fran later?? Is the decision now that they can be based solely on the command they are attached to before they die. I also like to get out those two large Dutch Aviation units.

I think there is a display problem with search sectors. I indicated a problem with Hudson III (LR)'s earlier and now I'm looking at a display of PBY-5's from Canton Island. I've set the range to 21 hexes but the display goes all the way to 23 hexes.

I'll try a few other types of aircraft squadrons to see if this seems a consistent problem.

In versions prior to 1106i (i did not play that version) the PP-cost to reassign a unit to a different HQ was higher, if the target HQ was not in the same command structure. In this beta the cost is always the same. Is this a diliberate change or a bug?

If find some, send me a save and location to look at.
Due to the map's hexagons, only the horizontal or vertical axis count the correct number of hexes.

In this new beta, the loading procedure has somewhat changed;

1.) In 1106i you could form a TF, order to load whatever (be it troops or cargo), and leave it without setting a destination.

Doing it this way was my trick to ensure a whole LCU gets loaded without any bits and pieces left behind.

Now with the new beta, the TF, if not given a destination, automatically sets its home port as such, loads the stuff, and when complete in one turn, unloads the whole lot the next turn still in its home port.

I can still do it in my old way as described above, but I also have to set the TF to "Remain on Station" and "Do not Unload" to prevent it unloading at home port as soon as it has completed loading.

WAD?

just put the TF on "do not unload"

Is that some sort of IQ test?

For anybody who wants it, here is a distance calculator spreadsheet (in Open Office format). Put in the two hex coordinates and it gives you the distance in hexes.

Not setting a destination was causing other problems elsewhere (certain fields were not being set on TF formation) so it will default to the home base now.
If you wish to just load the TF, then set the 'Do not unload' option as you said.

Thanks, guess it's time to change old habits

Another one I discovered, it's no longer possible to use the Escape key to return a TF to its home base.

For example, I got a TF in Brisbane and change the home port to Rabaul, in order to save me a second map scroll up to Rabaul for setting its destination, I simply pressed ESC and Rabaul was set automatically as such.

Has withdrawing ships been changed?
No ship screen toggle shows up.

Why can't I reset offmap routing prefences anymore?
Have to do it when the TF gets on map now, yuck...

Plus the unloading TF option isn't clear about what it's really doing.
The TF unload toggle stays on unload, no matter what the TF is doing.
Can be confusing.

Units set on night missions.
Can you change the font color to grey or something?
The black lettering is just about invisible on the screen.

The rest looks good.
Keep it up!

1. Bug in that the button isn't showing. Fixed in new build.
2. The on-map routing upsets off-map movement. I see it showing when TF is in waiting box to enter map.
3. The unload/load toggle isn't always changing. Seems to depend on individual circumstances at time of showing TF. Added extra test in new build.
4. I'll see what I can do.

I don't know if alt font is officialy supported but it seems that the Mitsubishi engines are too long to appear correctly on the screen. Now their last digit is cut... showing only Mitsubishi Ha-3 instead of Mitsubishi Ha-33/34/44 etc. as it is they're not sorting correctly.

B5M1 Ha-33 then...
B6N2a is Mitsu Ha-32
D3A1 again Ha-33
although I sorted by engine type.

There is only so much space in these columns. The sort does work on the actual columns contents, but I have added hooks in some sorts to use the data content instead of the column text (eg some sort by rank use the the rank number rather than rank name to get the 'ranking' order).
I can try moving left and cutting back on the plane name.

Just commenced a new campaign as Allies vs AI (scenario 6 ) Two day turns.

My combat, operations and sigint reports are all blank. However if I look carefully at them I can just see the outlines of some text. Can't read it as it shows as white text on a white background.

I know that a similar problem has already been reported but this additional information might assist with resolution of the issue.

Also wanted to express my appreciation for the wonderful support michaelm has been providing. Thanks in particular Michael for sorting out the search arcs problem---one of the coolest features of the game.
