BACK AFTER YEARS
I think we need another sticky here.
I just quit Cold Turkey on my World of Warcrack habit, and am coming back to WITP/AE.
Question is - What should I be doing at the start - not strategy BUT
1) I have the latest official patch - should I grab something more?
2) I imagine I should get Tracker and IntelMonkey (and I think they are both easier to install and run now - no need for old Java). Anything else? I have this folder WITPStaff in my tools - what is that?
3) Any other programs I'm missing? And I know to look for Kull's where to move everything, anything else?

Forget WitpStaff, it did not get supported. I would also say I find Combat Reporter very useful and easy to setup and use.
RE: BACK AFTER YEARS
Get the last 'beta' 1126b or some such. It fixes something rather important for the Allies late game, like a usable unrep. Something I consider quite useful. Also Andy Mac's AI updates. In addition to new AI files it corrects the omission of a Japanese army radar. Not sure but I think it includes newer AAA files and a dumbing down of the Japanese 'super E's' ASW capability. Although the later two may be elsewhere as well, not sure. Personally I don't use any outside programs, but to me its a user thing. Do if you wish, don't if you don't.
Edit: BTW welcome back. A good choice I might add.

RE: BACK AFTER YEARS
I'm a great believer in UNREP as I spent two years on USS BUTTE (AE-27).
I spent most of my naval career feet dry taking care of reservists, got stationed here, LIKED the place, wound up retiring here. Now I help make the toys they use out there (enlisted retirement not enough, but it does help when you have a real job).

Good advice. And yes, Andy did make a number of database fixes in his AI updates. They are sprinkled all over the place though, so here's a link to help you find 'em.

Sounds like you build Polaris snowmobiles and ATVs. Big boy toys! [:)]ORIGINAL: wegman58

Not what the locals use, what my former employer uses. AND the Air Force. And some Army stuff too (but my Army involvement is peripheral at best.

That Post should be made Sticky. Helped me a lot during a fresh install.

There is a BIG map for printing out - where is that file? I've seen some computer based planning things, not having any luck with the 'wall poster'.

RE: BACK AFTER YEARS
I know it was available for sale but I am not sure there is a file available. Who can print an eight foot map anyway!ORIGINAL: wegman58

I found it - called AE_MAP_FULL. Can be printed out on 11x17, which is pretty big.

RE: BACK AFTER YEARS
Like wegman, I am also returning to visit after years away.
I've update to the latest official patch, and have the beta.
Thanks Kull, for the links to the thread on AndyMac's multifarious scenarios [&o]
. . . where do I find the PWHEX - and/or whatever else I need - to apply stacking limits to all hexes in stock AE?

RE: BACK AFTER YEARS
What do you need for your planes to upgrade??? I reread chapter 7 and missed any hints.
I have one of the Flying Tiger squadrons withdrawn to Calcutta, LOTS of supplies, Upgrade on, enough P-40E, a week and nothing.

'Enough P-40E" means 27.
Squadrons without withdrawal dates can upgrade with only a single plane in the pool, but ones with a withdrawal date need sufficient numbers in the pool necessary to bring the squadron to full strength before they will upgrade.

RE: BACK AFTER YEARS
And you need a size 7 airfield, Calcutta needs some work to get it there.
