But when the game started nothing prompted me to accept data changes - should it?

Is it right the files are just unzipped in the scn folder - nowhere else?

Status: offline 		The changes are fairly simple:

1. FIXED Japanese CA upgrades through the end of the war.
2. FIXED Allied AO to CVE early-war conversions.
3. Airframes and Engine delivers now match each other with Japanese production.
4. FIXED Japanese DDs arriving with the wrong starting upgrade (DDs arriving in mid-42 with mid-44 armaments...OOOPs)
5. Corrected some minor Allied and Japanese air group issues.
6. FIXED CLAA--CL Omaha Conversions and Upgrades.

That is about it.

Should be able to incorporate these without issue.

Upgrade all installed

JAP CA Maya is listed as Maya class and has no upgrade? Its Takao class and should have an upgrade path as the others do?

Something to be fixed?

I assume Akitsuki arrivals will now have correct AA radar etc but the ones in play stay as they are?

Thanks for all your ongoing work.

John, thanks for the quick reply. We're only at the end of December 1941, so it looks like this will fix future problems for us.

Status: offline 		Well Calvary you were 1 for 2. The Maya upgrades are all correct. I pulled up the screens for each class of Japanese CA and walked through their upgrade and/or (Mogami) conversion paths and they are all good, HOWEVER, your Agano TT issue was dead on.

FIXED. RA 5.1 going to FatR. Sorry guys. This little nit-picky Editor stuff can drive one to drink heavily.

Will Post when 5,1 is available.

...back to Turkey basting...

Some many ways to interpret this comment, so little time.

Status: offline 		I am not sure if this was a 4.6 problem or if it is new in 5.0 but the North Carolina, South Dakota, Washington, Massachusetts, Indiana, Iowa and New Jersey BBs only have 6 x 16 inch guns.

I went back and looked, it appears that it was in 4.6 also. I just never saw it before now. I never really looked at the load outs on the BBs, just put them in a TF and moved them towards a useful port.

PM sent.

Am sure the BBs are OK. Just look all the way around for the turrets.
