<r> Thanks Capn Darwin.<br/> <br/> Don't bother yourself I'll go and RTFM the update and change logs.<br/> <br/> Bought the game back in Oct 2013 and have only just started to really look at it. <br/> <br/> OneNote telling me it was bought at <B><s>[b]</s>05:30<e>[/b]</e></B> on the 25th Oct 2013.

Hi all
Unit counters are showing a small T or W in the middle of the 'Number of Runners' and 'Orders'
Can't find a reference in the manual.
TIA

<t> I'm more interested in the other things they could have taken out. <br/> <br/> Are we to look forward to degraded, or removed algorithms that the professional edition customers don't like seeing in the game?<br/> <br/> Perhaps something that shows their latest all singing, all dancing weapon sys...

Forgot to add - do not drill down into a unit unless you prepared to lose a night just seeing how units are made up.
Gets addictive quickly.[:)]

<t> Actually for me learning to play this game took me back to playing the old paper wargames from SPI, AH etc<br/> <br/> Start with Husky and ignore the Air Stuff and don't even think about trying to invade Sicily [:)] <br/> I start by finding out what the numbers and symbols on the units mean.<br/...

<r> Interesting topic.<br/> I worked on <LINK link="http://www.armyrecognition.com/switzerland_swiss_field_military_army_equipment_uk/skyguard_all-weather_fire_control_radar_system_data_sheet_specifications_description_pictures_video.html"><s>[link=http://www.armyrecognition.com/switzerland_swiss_fi...

<t> Part of the 'problem' is that most of us on here are hard core Naval/Air simulation veterans and a fair few have actually served.<br/> So we are used to pausing the sim, flicking over to Google and go looking at stuff.<br/> Have to confess many a time I've spent 30 minutes away from the sim as I...

We're currently working on modelling the "handoff" capability of certain datalinks, and IIRC that includes the SLAM/-ER.

This simulation is freaking awesome.... [&o]

<t> Superb explanation that clarifies what I was seeing in practise.<br/> <br/> To be frank to a noob it may sound, and probably is, a little confusing but in practise it gives you fantastic control over a unit's ROE, EMCON etc.<br/> <br/> I've been using the Uncle Mark's Tutorials to get back into ...

<t> Hi Tomcat<br/> Yep the Support Mission is the way to go. <br/> I knew it had to be the mission rules as it only happened if I assigned it to the ASuW mission type<br/> I'm guessing there is some logic built into the mission type based on the aircraft type, load out and sensors maybe.<br/> First ...

<r> This is driving me nuts.<br/> Playing Uncle Mark's Tutorial 1<br/> I assign Nora#1 to a ASuW Patrol(Naval) as I want it to search for the SAG with it's Sea Spray<br/> Mission is setup so that station altitude is set to 10K<br/> When it gets on station it refuses to go above 2000 feet<br/> If I r...

Hi all,
Just getting back into the game and a few things have come up
Do mission EMCON settings override all other inherited setting?
It looks like it to me and I assume that the 'Parent' becomes the mission
Thanks

<r> Team Yankee was good but it uses Hackett's book as a backdrop.<br/> So basically they have a defensive engagement, meeting engagement, and then go on the offensive into East Germany.<br/> I can recommend Chieftans by Bob Forrest-Webb <LINK link="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chieftains-Bob-Forrest-Web...

Agree Swamp, love to see that come to fruition but its been up there a long time.

Swamp have a look here

<t> Ah yes, I am currently blushing and starting to rethink my career in IT<br/> Shift H key is mildly useful <more blushing><br/> And from that I used the O key (not zero, O, O as in Oh my God what a noob I am)<br/> Job jobbed<br/> <br/> But it would be nice to select a unit on the map, hit the 'O'...

<t> Have to agree with fbs7 here. <br/> I fired it up just now and to be frank the lack of 'User Friendliness' in finding a unit is pretty poor.<br/> I can see a unit in the CR and when I double click it I expect for the CR to close with the unit I double clicked selected.<br/> Unless I am missing s...

Excellent find.
Thank you

Thanks Vic and my apologies. I have had to do this for other games and just remembered you have to go through support.
