Official Patch 1.04 Released!

[Surtur]

Enhanced simulation mechanics, new features and expanded database.

Acclaimed by both modern warfare specialists and wargaming enthusiasts, Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations has swept the awards since its release last September, including the Usenet’s Wargame of The Year 2013 and the gold medal for Grogheads Game of the Year 2013 readers’ award. Developers Warfare Sims have not rested on their laurels though as they have been working on several updates since the release of the game. These patches, including the newest 1.04 released today, have included a whole host of new features, improvements on the simulation engine and user interface, bug fixes and a veritable avalanche of database updates and additions.

Here is the list of some of the major improvements implemented in this new version:

• Configurable strike auto-planner. Your planes plot intelligent paths for their missions (complete with multiple off-axis ingress and egress lines, split-to-attack and form-up waypoints, suitable altitudes for each leg etc.). As always you can tweak the strike plan to perfection.

• An extensive array of UI enhancements such as wireframe-only map view, selection-only range symbols, new hotkeys, menu list for quick-jump slots, additional information on the database viewer, configurable ghosted-unit visibility, configurable plotted course visibility, one-click jump to unit mission, single-icon enemy groups and more.

• AI and mission editor additions such as configurable sprint-and-drift, optional prosecution areas for patrols (goodbye fainted drawn-out patrol assets and edge-of-envelope SAM shots, hello true SAM-ambushes!), new doctrine options and more.

• Improved simulation mechanics such as multiple cloud conditions, refined offboard-sonar modelling, ABM/ASAT guidance refinements, realism improvements for anti-missile engagements, longer-range AI torpedo shots and more.

• Significant performance & stability improvements.

• A mile-long list of database additions including future Virginia SSGN versions, Tomahawk MMT, M982 Excalibur guided 155mm artillery, KC-46 tanker, MC-130 with the BLU-82 "Daisy Cutter" & GBU-43 MOAB mega-bombs, Chinese "High New" C4-ISR series, the entire Ukraine naval OOB, Oscar-III SSGN, JLENS, tons of Vietnam-era units, hypothetical systems like the F-19A, A/F-117X, Boeing 747 ALCM carrier and generic CATOBAR mini-carrier, and much more.

Strange. I keep using the window updater. It gets mostly done and then I get:

Error:

Unable to download file.
An error occurred when downloading information from the server.



Anyone else? I've retried about 4 times now, same thing each time.

Never mind. Apparently the 5th time was the charm. Thanks again guys. Looking forward to trying this baby out.

I don't think I have ever seen a game better supported than this!

Stryker,

It sounds like your computer is timing the connection out. If you cant get it Via the update client you can get it here.

Cheers,

Down loaded the Patch. Still show "Command Version 1.04 Release Candidate 6 Build 553", press update button and tells me I have the latest version. Am I missing anything?

[Dimitris]

Did you run the updater while having Command running? If yes then the updater would be unable to override the exe. The update must be run while Command is not running.

Great news ![8D]
Keep rolling!

[hzarr6901]

Thanks, got it to update, must have started the game prematurely.
You guys are doing a bang up job![:)]

[Mgellis]

So far, it looks really good. Excellent work, guys!

[mikkey]

Yeah, could have been. Newly assigned to Korea, which has great internet speeds, but occasionally there's hiccups with my landlord's firewalls. Gonna put this new edition through it's paces this weekend. Gerry, thanks for posting the link for the patch as an alternative.

[AbnerR]

Excellent! I know what I am doing this weekend!

[DrRansom]

Thank you for the update!

Question: how does the auto-attack mission work? I tried it on the training air-attack mission and didn't see any way points to manipulate.

[smudge56]

Apologise but what build number should this be. I have V1.04 Candidate 3 Build 546. Is this correct?

[mikkey]

No Blighty, official patch 1.04 is B554.

Great update guys - really appreciate what you have done for the Naval Sim gaming community. As an early Harpoon adopter, CMANO has kept the dream alive and made it soooo much better.
