Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.92

It was equipped with the Mk IV Fighter bombers which is not an intruder type. Allowing these to fly night missions was causing weird things with the AI missions.

Re: 1.06.96 beta available

I made a few adjustments and minor bug fixes based on your comments. night-fighting and straggler intercepts seems to be working better now and we will be releasing an official patch soon.

Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.92


Always happy to help test things for you. I have ceased playing at the moment to see if you are going to release another update. The allied campaign is the inverse of the Axis campaign in that is a bit too easy with a lot of interceptors chasing a few stragglers and Bomber Command working with ...

Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.92

thanks for the input. The icing thing was left on for playtesting, I'll remove it.

There needs to be a balance with intercepting stragglers and intercepting the main raid. I noticed that the LW suffered more casualties when their attention is focused on the big raid.

Re: After Patch 1.06.92 error loading previous patch save file

I think the 1.06.92 patch accidentally overwrites the DAT/btruser.dat file which had your pbem handles. if you can find that file from your previous turns you can replace it and it should work.

I'll make sure that doesn't happen in future patches.

Re: 1.06.96 beta available

Did you copy it over to the main game folder (with the DAT subfolder in it) and overwrite the old one?

I downloaded it onto my lap top and copied it to the game folder and it works fine. If it's in the right folder on your machine, try running it as administrator.

Re: Lagging?

First, you need to patch up to the latest version 1.06.92.

Then start the game, go to "Options" on the main menu for either BTR or ED.

From options, make sure "Use Windowed Mode" is clicked on. You should be able to play the game smoothly, albeit on a smaller, windowed screen.

You will get ...

1.06.96 beta available

Happy Holidays.
If this checks out well it (along with some data updates) will become the official legacy version within the next few months. Download and unzip the btr.exe file and overwrite the current one in the main game folder. I've tested it quite a bit but Save the old one first in case you ...

Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.92

I took a closer look and it does seem as bit overloaded on pursuit of stragglers. I'll see what I can do.

If you are up to it, you can achieve the full screen through a little app called DxWnd. Follow this thread and don't skip any steps: https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopic.php?t=333695

Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.92

Hmmm I haven't messed with the intercept or combat code for quite some time. I've been plying the axis a bit lately and it feels about right to me.

If you check Luftwaffe history, I believe there were many cases at this stage in the war that the German pilots were feeling overwhelmed by the Allied ...

Re: Is there any way to get rid of the pink text?

The first thing to try is to go to the in-game options tab and click on both "set direct draw software..." and "use windowed mode" Then restart. You can also change the font in this options tab.

Don't do dxwnd until you get it looking right in windowed mode.

The 1.06.92 patch is cumulative so no need to patch up anything else first.

Re: Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich - Update v1.06.92

It was changed a few patches ago so that only intruders with bombs will do the opportunity targeting at night. So in BTR that is just the Black Widow. In BoB that is most of the nightfighters.

The reason for taking it out is that it usually caused far more negative effects to the attacking side ...
