These location files make it so.

If you are hopelessly into a game already - I may be able to fix it.

See follow on about "don't believe reports" as well as this:

I notice this all the time - and on both sides. But more on the Japanese side than the Allies. I intend to do some turn by turn inventories during human testing to track ACTUAL production. I can rationalize what happens. But we do not know - no human anywhere knows - exactly how code works re production. There are undoubtedly "tests" - and I don't know what is happening for sure in any given case. But I DO know:

some locations NEVER produce aircraft (or engines) - no matter how many factories are there

some locations are FAR more efficient than others

even efficient locations have limits - above which production does not occur - de facto rather than formal limits

code seems to give preference to slot order: that is

a) it will produce lower slot factories before higher slot factories (in the location file)

b) for Japan - it is more likely to get production with aircraft that have lower slot engines than higher slot engines

c) it may also be that lower aircraft slots produce better than higher aircraft slots - in the same location

I found it is generally better to spread aircraft production around - and to concentrate it at locations which will get lots of same hex HI points - and probably also supply points.

It looks close to correct. If hex sides are on you can see it better. The river art itself (as opposed to the hex sides) could be on the other sides of 36,28 and 36,27 - but I don't do art - and Cobra (a) out of communications mostly and (b) reported he lost his art and tools when he was in communications. Anyway - the pwhex is right - and there are lots of problems on this scale inherently. I have a list of minor tweeks for art - if anyone every does art for WITP I again - and wants to redo RHS panels. All of them trivial.

There is no production for the SOC 1/3 Seagull (there was in older versions of RHS).


First ordered in 1933 and flown a year later, the SOC entered service in late 1935 and had superseded the Fleet's earlier shipboard floatplanes by the end of the decade. With production completed in 1938, its ageing design was then nearly ready for replacement by newer medium-powered monoplane types. By late 1941, battleships generally carried the Vought OS2U, whose non-folding wings were not required on the hangarless "battlewagons". It was expected that cruisers would soon get the Curtiss SO3C, which had folding wings. However, the latter aircraft was never quite satisfactory, requiring the SOC to serve on board first-line cruisers until quite late in World War II, when the high-performance Curtiss SC became available.

Comment: because "production completed in 1938" - it should not be in production during 1941-1945.

The reports are bogus. I have 636 Catalinas in the pool in Oct 1943, plus 123 nominally "used" - this latter value seems to "lose count" all the time - so you never have a valid "issued" count. But humor me - and lets for a second assume these are valid data: HOW did I get 636 in a pool, plus 123 more to issue to units, when there was always ZERO production AND ZERO replacements - and only 6 in the pool to begin with?????? [They divide like cells do in biology? Maybe you don't need production because there is reproduction?]

The reports are bogus.

I think production is working much of the time but not reported for some obscure reason.

PBY-5s should phase out on 1 March 1943 - in favor of the PBV/PBN. When that happens, production suddenly is reported at 48.

18 Anson have shown up somehow - possibly due to upgrading.

I don't know about the game you're running, but in the game I'm running the pools of the aircraft in question are 0, the number used is staying the same, and the squadrons are shrinking. Those planes are not being produced.

You explained the SOC1/3 Seagull (although I am curious just what did the USN use as ops losses caused squadrons to shrink?). However, the Catalina PBY/PBV and the Coronado are absolutely not producing.

If you like I can send you a save file and you can verify that for yourself.

Status: offline 		All I need is to know the scenario - a general problem will exist at source and be repeatable - and I can trap it.

PBY and PBV are not the same aircrft - so one wonders what you are looking at? We have several versions of the PBY in RHS - the first US one being PBY-5. It upgrades to PBN/PBY/GST - and until 1943 that variation MUST BE ZERO - it is not allowed to produce sooner. There is also a RN version - Catalina. PBYs produce on the map at Vancouver BC in Catalina/PBY/PBV form. They also produce off the map at Canada. They don't show up for US use - but for Commonwealth use - but they are PBYs as well.

EDIT: A 12/25/41 test shows a production rate of 40 for PBY-5 - and 38 already produced and all issued to units. [Only 6 start in the pool and you cannot have replaced any yet - the replacement is not yet on stream - so 32 of that 38 are new aircraft]

The SOC-3 can be replaced by the other observation plane. OS2U-3 Kingfisher.

EDIT: Confirmed: OS2U-3 Kingfisher is listed as an upgrade IN THE GAME ON BOARD A US cruiser.

It is ironic - as the article on SOC-3 says - that with vast production capability the US was chronically short of float observation planes (because of a technical failure of the intended replacement type). Since they decided NOT to carry them as a fire hazzard by midwar - priority to solve this was probably not very high.

That's why I specifically referenced:

"Catalina PBY/PBV is not producing (total of 22 factories in 2 locations)"

That plane is not producing.

Also the "PB2Y-3 Coronado is not manufacturing, in spite of having 10 repaired factories in San Diego."

Regarding the Seagull, I remembered someone posting long ago that the Kingfisher was too big too replace the Seagull on ships smaller than battleships, so I was reluctant to use it. If it's fine I'll just use that (or let them go without).

Regarding the Anson I, I assume my comments are correct and it should not be producing (in spite of having factories that look like they ought to be working)?

But it is producing. SO your problem is likely related to supply points. You must turn off enough construction - etc - that there are reasonable totals at Vancouver - to get the 6 there - or Canada. I am producing them - at both locations - without any effort at all - but I NEVER run with everything turned on.

I confirm this. The aircraft eventually is replaced by another - but none ever appear to have been made by the end of the run. Four engine planes see this problem more often than twin engine planes do. If it was the ONLY plane at San Diego it would work fine. It may work well in games other than AI vs AI - but I don't know that it doess.

You are really losing me here - are you saying that the scenario is set up so that it can not produce all historically produced aircraft?

When you say "everything turned on" - the only thing I have control over is repairing factories. Does doing that use up HI or something that prevents other factories from running? Remember the Allied player does not have control over production the way the Japanese player does.

My offer of sending a save game to you stands - you can turn off a few things and demonstrate that the plane starts producing. Frankly, I don't know what to turn off that will affect that.

Certainly not. I am saying that you cannot do everything at the same time. As time passes, the Allies get closer and closer to being able to afford anything and everything. It is NOTHING like that in 1941, and it GRADUALLY changes over time. The mechanism for this change was suggested either by you or Andrew - unrepaired industry - and within the crude limits of this ultra-simplistic model - it was a brilliant concept that works well. But there ARE consequences: these are complex and are not identical at every point - so it is very hard to know (or say) exactly what will work - and what not - and what works at point A may well differ from what works at point B.

The general principle is that you cannot, early in the war, set all forms of construction and repair to "on" or "yes" -
and not run your critical production centers below values they require for various things. To the extent you do not get this right, you will tend to see aircraft production in particular fall off: four engine planes most of all, and two engine planes more than single engine ones. Also - I suspect the higher the slot No the plane is, the less likely it will produce at any PARTICULAR base (relative to slot numbers of other planes at the SAME base).

Nothing about this is under modder control - except where you put the production and how high you set it. Nothing about this is the way it should be or what I prefer. It is not a modder's settings that are wrong - even if they are wrong. It is the undocumented way this program works.

Not so. You ALSO control building up port levels, airfield levels, and fortification levels of EVERY location. Each of these things upgraded 1 level costs 1000 supply points. This is a serious drain on the supplies of any location - often also of nearby locations. IF you leave ALL these set to "on" - you are CERTAIN to have little aircrat production.

You must turn off EVERYTHING NECESSARY to insure good supply levels at production centers. That also includes not loading too much cargo onto ships.

You also must consider your HI situation. EACH airframe costs 18 pp. EACH engine costs 18 pp (well - for Japan it does anyway). HI is used to produce other things - and IF you try to produce ALL ships (which is more than history - you are SUPPOSED to turn off those you don't want - just as they did IRL - land units need HI points - etc. IF you try to have everything at max level - you will not let the Allies produce everything very well.

I figured out the production problem and it's pretty ugly.

Looking at the database I noticed that all Japanese planes have their engine types in weapon slot #10. Allied planes have nothing in weapon slot #10, because the Allied production model is abstracted - they don't explicitly require engines.

However - those Allied planes that are not producing do have something defined in weapon slot #10, namely a radar.

As a test I modified the Anson I. You will recall I have verified that the Anson I is not producing in my game even though it has 30 factories. I modified the record for the Anson I to zero out weapon slot #10. Then I ran a test - and the Anson I started production on the very first day.

By the way, in the game I have running (where the Anson I has a radar defined in weapon slot #10), the radar does not show up on the aircraft details display.

There are many Allied aircraft with weapon #10 defined as radar, but because I am early in the game (now May '42) only those few types I noticed and mentioned are yet supposed to be producing, but of course are not. No Allied planes with a weapon #10 defined (as other than zeroed out) will ever be manufactured.

I suppose the radars have to be moved to a different weapon slot.

I just did a test by putting the start date to June 45 and confirmed this. There is no production that I can see for any aricraft with a radar in slot 10. (As a side note slot 156 PBN/PBY/GST is producing and the radar is in slot 9)

As a test I modified the Anson I. You will recall I have verified that the Anson I is not producing in my game even though it has 30 factories. I modified the record for the Anson I to zero out weapon slot #10. Then I ran a test - and the Anson I started production on the very first day.

By the way, in the game I have running (where the Anson I has a radar defined in weapon slot #10), the radar does not show up on the aircraft details display.

There are many Allied aircraft with weapon #10 defined as radar, but because I am early in the game (now May '42) only those few types I noticed and mentioned are yet supposed to be producing, but of course are not. No Allied planes with a weapon #10 defined (as other than zeroed out) will ever be manufactured.

I suppose the radars have to be moved to a different weapon slot.


I just did a test by putting the start date to June 45 and confirmed this. There is no production that I can see for any aricraft with a radar in slot 10. (As a side note slot 156 PBN/PBY/GST is producing and the radar is in slot 9)


using AIO 7.788

Did a second test (June 45) this time with slot 10 radars cleared, I'm now getting production on the aircraft.

witpqs is correct, the radars will need to be moved.

Edit. I have also found that the 49th Pursuit Squadron at Los Angeles, erroneously reflects P-63A Kingcobra a/c, when I think it should be P-40Es (at least that looks like the a/c that arrived in Australia in Feb 42 ).

I do not have time now to test this (I will later). Be advised to test before changing all the plane records!

I have plenty of supply at the locations in question. In fact, I have poured supplies into the rest of North America from New Orleans.

Heavy Industry is 1,781,423 In Pool Now, and 726,942 Used From Pool.

There is no control for the Allied player to turn off production at factories.





Actually - there is. You don't turn off PRODUCTION - you turn off REPAIR. Some locations repair factories for up to three years - at 1000 points per day per type.

Sid,

I figured out the production problem and it's pretty ugly.

Looking at the database I noticed that all Japanese planes have their engine types in weapon slot #10. Allied planes have nothing in weapon slot #10, because the Allied production model is abstracted - they don't explicitly require engines.

However - those Allied planes that are not producing do have something defined in weapon slot #10, namely a radar.

No Allied planes with a weapon #10 defined (as other than zeroed out) will ever be manufactured.

OK - I will confirm - and fix. This is good work. It isn't that ugly - it is just undocumented. Like almost everything. I would PAY for a tech manual - but they cannot sell one - it does not exist.
