A little thread necro, but for a good cause. I want to call out boogabooga for the work he did on quick battles. I have been playing them a lot as I read unit histories and watch videos of less famous aircraft. For example, I'll read something on the USN Cutlass early jet and it makes me want to ...

I still think you are putting more effort into thsi than just reinstalling.

One trick I use is after building an airbase and loading aircraft is to create an inst file. I have had the need to do a mission reset before and that helps. There's a lot of things you can do to mitigate editing mistakes with inst/delta files.

I have been playing games on PCs for 40 years and have never had a corrupted file break a game. I have had HD failures a plenty. If you have files getting corrupted, I would first check the health of your drive.

I think it might be safer to just reinstall.

I ran your test scenario and the hostile red aircraft stayed neutral even through combat until they fired on the F-16s. At which point they became hostile. Is that what you are looking for?

As is always asked, you should create a separate thread for an issue. Especially if its a different issue than the OP's.

Thats not what he's saying. He's saying take the question to the db team.

I have been around software and technology companies a long time. I have lost track of the number of people who went to their "dream job" only to find out that, in the end, its just a job. There is no better way to become disenchanted with your hobby than by making it your job.

btw, my career ...

Appears to work very well in 1776. Thats in my test scenario. Thanks for the fast fix.

I will say that MS has warned users for years about removing Edge as part of "debloating". I assume its not just their way of keeping edge on the system. Edge has been integrated into the OS for several ancillary functions. My last three companies all explicitly insisted users not remove Edge for ...

There is an income limit. Above a certain income your tax burden changes and may limit social security payouts. Most private pensions don't have outside income limits.

I moved the trailing Mig-29 to 500 nm and it still goes defensive on any unit detecting an enemy AAM launch.

OK. I can see the problem with SARH AAMs. All those Mig-29s surrounding the F-16 go defensive immediately after the AAM is detected by anyone. Even once the course of the AAM is known, the Mig-29s behind the firing F-15 go off on defensive. Here is the scenario that shows it.

OK. Ran a rough test using an F-16A with AIM-120B against a bunch or Mig-29s arrayed around it. The goal is to get the F-16 to fire at the oncoming Mig-29s and look at the reaction of the array of Mig-29s. Here is a pic of the set up.

Here is a rough play by ...

I used to get similar folder access errors years ago on a number of older games and some Matrix games. I created a Matrix folder under C drive and now run CMO and Combat Mission from there.

IIRC, the change was made because there were complaints that only the targeted aircraft was going into evasion. Some players wanted all/other aircraft to all respond defensively. My question is which aircraft should or should not go defensive?

What is 1744?

edit...I just noticed it a typo in the title.

I was able to load any scenario in 1774 on Steam. Make sure db 514 is in the db directory.

Well...there are only a couple places to look. This was the first one I checked.

Well...it got a Penguin missile in the conning tower for its reward.
