Currupted Plane icons in replay of turn

Post by davidjruss »


Playing as Allies in a BTR 43 PBEM and having received a turn , on playing the turn I find that many of both sides planes somehow show the incorrect plane icon. I attach a screen shot of what is suppossed to be a Bf109 takiing off from Palizzi, Italy.

Has this been seen before or can suggest a cure other than a complete re-install and a new game?

Here is also a picture showing an Allied raid taking off from the UK - supposed to comprise Marauders and Fighter escort.

You get this when loading a BOB savegame after playing BTR. (or vice-versa)

I am working on this issue right now - I think I got it, I just need to test it some.

Harley ,

Thanks - also found out that the Allies and Germany employed stealth technology in 1943 - a Beaufighter Night Intruder sighted and shot down a Bf110 but neither icon appeared on the map - there was just a blank square.

And the LW was having such fun too. Apart from the bloody D.520s

Does this mean if davis exits the game and the restarts he should be okay?

harley,


For your information in a BOB 40 campaign save game I am seeing British planes with Geman Icons and German planes with British Icons.

Also I am not seeing any explosions even though in the options Explosions are "ON".

Can you advise in a PBEM game does the options selected by the person who creates the 1st turn override the options for the other player - or are the options selected independent for each player ?

I have not touched a BOB savegame (not even played it yet) and I get the same result.

The replay is completely worthless. I can't read the icons because they are wrong, and I can't control the replay once it starts.

This makes it very HARD to play allied.

I'd be just as happy with the colored boxes I use when playing axis.
