Hey Sirius :) ,

I have a platform request.......

2 Dutch platforms are in the DB, but I think that there is something wrong with the data:

Holland Class Destoyer: These ships don't have a maximum speed of 35 knots, but only 32.

Friesland Class destroyer: These ships have a maximum speed of 36 knots instead of 35 knots. There were however 2 units of that class which were extremely fast: The D814 (HMS Limburg) and the D818 (HMS Rotterdam) could easilly make more than 40 knots!!!

Perhaps you can make changes in your Databse? These are only minor changes, but for the realism/completeness of your great DB-version it would be great if there was a 2nd Platform (Friesland Class II(?) in your DB.

Cheers.
Taitennek.

Hey Sirius :),

I found something nasty in the Colonial DB version 1.5.

I launced 2 groups of aircraft, but playing the game in the groups-modus, these 2 groups were not visible on my screen.
After switching to the unit-modus these aircraft were visible again, but unassigned, also after plotting a course.
When I switch back to group-modus, these aircraft suddenly disappeared again.

Could this be a possible bug?

Cheers,
Taitennek.

P.S. Great Database-version, congratulations!

Sirius

This scenario is not public yet, someone asked me to test it, I can't hand it over to you without permission, but I ask the designer not to change this, the scenario will be available in a 1 or 2 days. Can you wait until the release?

Cheers,

Could this be a possible bug?Could you have 'accidentally' grouped them into your base unit?

Nope, it were 2 groups from 2 different airfields. I must admit that I have never seen this before.

With limited info on the scen this behavior has nothing to do with the DB structure or data, I suspect it is to do with the scenario itself , thats whats testing is for I believe ask the scen designer to delete then add the units again and see if it happens again, as I have said before with limited info on problem and as Herman says I have noticed it before and its a new one on me

Tnx

Sirius,

The scen Frans is talking about is my new scenario Jaya Wijaja. It concerns the last phase of the decolonisation of New Guinea; conflict between the Dutch and Indonesia.
Frans has sent me some saved games and I will check them and test before release. Thanks for adding/modifying the platforms I requested for it.
