While we are chasing bugs. While updating New Zealand INF groups the Dunedin base force was set to upgrade from the militia, changed from beta P9 to Q1 and made moves and ran turn. Next turn Dunedin BF shows lost the infantry/milita to an additional Aviation group and also additional Engineer line.

Ran next turn and upgraded another BF without any issues so either with Dunedin BF or changing betas??

Pic below, I have saves if you want.

Looking at the Dunedin BF in editor, the active weapons are slightly askewed with the TOE.
However I would have expected it to correct itself by merging the duplicated slots, and taking the normal TOE replacements, after a few days.

I will keep checking but so far three two day turns with no corrections. I do have the replacements off however I will try with them on. The TOE is correct when you click on it.

When Yorktown appeared her airgroup VF42 appeared with bug in pilots. When first open pilot screen you see a blank line (first pic). After clicking or adjusting the blank line goes away and in its place you get the pilot with a 194 delay showing up in a different line (second pic next post). This happens every time you check on the air group pilots after several turns of checking. Note tracker doesn't show either pilot.

graphical glitch?

No. A Japanese pilot has been assigned to the group. Which scenario is it?

It is scenario two.

Can't see any bad data in the editor.
Can you post the save and I'll see if it is that or just a 'glitch'?

[SgtSwanson]

Quixote is correct with getting it to run full screen. However, if you want to take full advantage of your obviously large monitor, also add the following to the command line (use the resolution of YOUR monitor here...)
-px1920 -py1080

Sorry, but how would it go in the command line? And in Target? or Start in?

[bk19@mweb.co.za]

This is an example as recommended.

"E:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific AE\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -skipVideo -archive -autosave -px1920 -py1080

This is captured in the 'Target' field.

To understand what all of these command line parameters do read the document WhatsNew.pdf that you will find in the root of your WITP AE installation

michaelm, thanks for update!

[SgtSwanson]

Wow, nice we can do that now for the more up to date vid cards and monitors.

Thanks for all the help. Got the beta running this morning. Now I have to learn the do's and don'ts of stockpileing.

What, no Labour Day weekend down under?

Stockpiling question

Inland bases are always running short of resources/oil/fuel etc to run there industry dispite oodles of the stuff in a port say 10 hexes away. If I turn on stockpiling for the bases will that prevent this help prevent this from happening?

Actually I'm going to find out shortly as I'm going to turn it on for all bases reported by tracker as being short.

Next month, IIRC. Means twice the work???

I do like the beta. Thanks much!
I have one question about the beta, under each base and taskforce is "range is ..." What is this refering to? Range to what?

Range to currently selected hex.

Installed the latest update from previous beta p2. Now the AI turn is going super fast. This did not happen with the official patch. This would sometimes happen with p2 on the first AI turn after I loaded the save game but it would go back to normal on following turns. With the latest update it happens every AI turn. I don't see any other posts with people having this problem. Any ideas?

[PaxMondo]

Sorry, all I can say is that I am NOT seeing any problem. Have run several/many turns against the AI with the latest beta today.

[Tyler]

I went into preferences, clicked each message delay up one click and turned the show animations switch off and then back on again. I then loaded the pre turn save from my last turn and the game ran at normal. No more AI turn in a blur.?????????????? Weird.

Hoplosternum and I are getting the same issue in our PBEM as well, despite preference changes on both sides.

Check the message delays in the preferences. The first 2 - map scroll and message delay - are the main ones used during the turn which are not animation-related. Increase them - IIRC the normal defaults are about 2 for each.

Also hitting the space bar during the turn will turn the general message delay OFF/ON - message is displayed when this happens to say which way it went.

hi michaelm,

could you check out this prob? it occurs in all the stock & beta releases.

when a TF arrives or is created in a port, & gets refueled/rearmed (either automatically or manually), it uses a certain # of Ops points. But if that TF is just left to sit (not disbanded or sent somewhere), its TF display doesn't clear the Ops back to 0 on succeeding turns.

In the attached file, TF 42 in San Francisco has been sitting there for weeks, displaying the same 80 Ops.

The ship Ops gets reset twice a turn.

I would say it spending them on something. I'll have a look and see what.

The TF is being refuelled at the end of each turn. All ships show 100% fuel.

The reason for the Ops expenditure is that the group on the Long Island is executing training missions for the group and using up Ops points, and thus is being refuelled.
However the expenditure shouldn't really be passed to all ships in the TF unless it was at sea. As it is docked, the expenditure should really be limited to the LI as the source of the training flights.

More I think of it, training flights shouldn't count in this case as the planes are not "really" flying from the carrier, but is the method of how pilots are trained.

The other side of the coin is that we allow strikes from groups that are on ships that are in a 'docked' TF.[:D]

We have tried all manner of settings and no hitting of escape or space bar involved. No matter whatever setting I put the turn runs at warp speed and the message default is at 0.1 speed
