Sorry for the dumb question but how do I get the screen to go full size. I remember I have cut out the -w from some file name, but what file name and where would I find it? Thanks

Hello Jeff - If you right click on your AE short cut, then click on your Properties at the bottom of the box. Then you go to the Target line in the properties box, and then delete the -w at the end of the string.

Thanks guys! It worked! Now hopefully I can remember how to annoy the empire.

Thanks Michael for the latest Beta patch update.

I've installed 1123j2 to my WitP-AE version and it works fine.
Also updated the Beta on my DBB Mod version but I get the "Unable to find PW Data" error - any ideas?[&:]

[Alfred]

Is it pointing to the correct path where the DBB version is installed?

[FOW]

Yes. It's got me confused!

Yes. It's got me confused!

Try removing the \Beta2 from the 'Start in' line. Game needs to start in the main folder.
\Beta2 should be added to the 'target' line if you do not have it there already.

[FOW]

Tried that - same "Unable to find PW data"

Thanks for the patches Michael! Much appreciated!

Hi Michaelm

When i order a TF to load/unload something is there a way to know an estimate of the days needed to complete the task?

(If not could it be possible to add this information in the TF screen?)

Many thanks for your support!

[michaelm75au]

Not at this time. There are a number of variables that can change from turn to turn. But you can't foresee what those values will be.

[moore4807]

Littleike,

Using this advice VERY loosely...[;)]
Port size 1,2,3 = 1,000 load for ships +/- variables.
Port size 4,5,6 = 2,000 load for ships +/- variables.
Port size 7,8,9 = 4000 load for ships +/- variables.

Assuming you have 5 AK's (3000 capacity) in a TF and load at a size 5 port you can average 400 supplies loaded for each ship per turn. It would take 7 days to fully load the TF of course plus/minus the factors of naval support, disruption at port etc.

There are experts on here that could break it down by ship type and so on, and I would trust thier information MUCH MUCH more than mine, but I have found it a pretty good fast n loose guesstimate.

My apologies if this has already answered but I've noticed an increase in downtime for maintenance on higher service rating aircraft (specifically 4E's). I can't see anything in the beta patch notes other than a comment that durability is now accounted for when putting aircraft into maintenance mode which will "spread" the maintenance out a bit more. Was a change made that increased the maintenance/repair time for aircraft such that high durability aircraft take longer to repair now (similar to ship repair).

Cheers,

Daniel

I'm new to the game and am in May 1942 (Allies) in my first game. At this point it's taking about 2 hours to play 1 turn. My son jokes that by 1944 it will take 1 day to play a day.

Can I apply the patch to a game I started with the official version? Can I continue to play my game against the AI or does the patch only work for PBEM? Are the game changes significant enough that I'm going to have to learn a completely new game if I apply the patch? I'm just getting the hang of the official version. I don't want to have to start over as it's taken me almost 3 months of daily play to get to May 1942.

Thanks.

[witpqs]

You can patch, and the patch is for both AI and PBM play.

I think we need to start michaelm worship cult! [:D]

I will be happy to sacrifice the first Chicken(boy) at the altar.

Thanks Michael. Archangel.

quick question:

I remember in one of early patches Michael said that the early infantry and engineer squads will be upgrade to later version squads later. I remember he said 6 months after the newer version is in production or something.

Is this still true? If it is true, after how long will the automatic upgrade happen? Thanks.

[michaelm75au]

After 6 months, an obsolete/expired pooled device (squad or engineer type) will slowly convert to the upgraded version; if japan, obsolete devices go back as the raw materials
