Re: Will the next game fix Fog of War issues?

The corrections are in the new game engine code for Cold War and not something Southern Storm will see.

Re: Tutorial 3 - My artillery is NOT supplied with smoke rounds

Smoke and other special ammo types depend on how the scenario designer sets the loadouts for those systems. Most mortars and guns have smoke rounds by default with HE rounds.

Re: Tutorial 3 - My artillery is NOT supplied with smoke rounds

ChesterNimitz, you may not need to, depending on Windows settings. If the new files are in that folder, then you are good to go.

Re: Subunit Inspector Identifies Unspotted Contacts

If the setting is on, then any unit "seen" on the map can have its details shown. Turning this setting off will do what you are asking and hide exact information.

Re: Subunit Inspector Identifies Unspotted Contacts

The Difficulty Settings are noted under the Available Challenges window for a PBEM game. In this case, Browse Spotted Enemy Units should be No/No

Re: Subunit Inspector Identifies Unspotted Contacts

Could you please check the settings and see if you have the Show unit details and information checked for the enemy side?

Re: Creating a Folder for my Map Project and Extracting FC Presets

I'll alert William to this question. Hopefully, the Mod doc is not missing info or wrong, but I have been known to make mistakes at times.

Re: Any Update on Flashpoint Campaigns Cold War?

Getting ready for a public beta test in the next couple of weeks. Doing documentation, tutorials, bug squashing, and a ton of polishing. Looking at a Summer release slot at the moment. Should see some official news soon as well.

Re: Bundeswehr Mech Infantry don't have NVG?

Just like the Dragon issue, if you can find some information that indicates those older 113 formations have night vision, we can do updates.

Re: US Mech inf Dragon ATGM

Some will and some won't, depending on the year and types of formations. If you think a given formation should, please note it, and we can take a look.

Re: Is there something wrong with current waypoint?

I will try this tomorrow. You may have found an odd bug with the interaction of the keyboard in the orders process. Thanks for digging in deeper and posting the details.

Re: Is there something wrong with current waypoint?

I even tested it with more units today while looking at the amphib issue, but I cannot get this issue to pop up. Does the end Point Orders dialog pop up at all when you hit Commit?
