Yeah, I think you are right. I eventually got the sub moving in the right direction.

It was frustrating though as the skipper could have headed for deeper water as the contact (which turned out to be biological) was due south at the time of detection.

<t> I am playing the second mission in the campaign, and have been doing OK. <br/>

Originally the SSBN would follow my commands, but now it will not change to the course I order, and when I try to change the depth and speed it just resets back to the original course, and a speed of 1kt ...

<t> I think it means that Matrix are changing the way they deliver patches, and that the 1.03 stand alone patch will be considerably smaller in size that the 1Gb size of The Bloody Road. Obviously the stand alone patch is not going to have the content of the addon, but I have seen nothing to ...

Pocus over at the AGEOD forums has just announced that Matrix are changing the way they release patches, and the 1.03 update encountered some technical issues as a result but will be out in a few days.

WTF! Do we have to pay for the patch?

No, but The Bloody Road South requires it, hence why it is included the download.

It is out - downloading it now. About 1Gb in size, so it will take a while on my slow connection.

available in the part of the world that is past Feb. 5th now?

According to the Matrix Games front page it was released on the 5th. However there is still no option to purchase when you click on the link to the product page.

You could have said the same thing about the Handley Page Victor, and look what a good aircraft that turned out to be.

<r> I can highly recomend "Empire of the Skies" by James Hamilton-Patterson, which about the post-war British aircraft industry. You can get it cheap from Amazon.<br/>

Is it room to put two on your desk, because if you get monitors with VESA mounts, you can get a replacement stand that will allow you to mount two side by side (or 3, or 4 ...., depending on what you buy).

Is anyone else having problems accessing www.warfaresims.com ?

And talking of books going up in price - I checked the other day how much it would cost me to replace my complete set of Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships. The answer made me feel faint - at least double what I paid for them and I thought that was bad enough.

I have the book of the uk channel 4 series 'Cold War' whilst it doesn't go into tactics its a great overview of the cold war.

Is that the Jeremy Isaacs and Taylor Downing book ?

I think Command uses DX9, in which case it might work under Wine since Wine supports DX9.

Have you tried it under WINE ? It is a pretty standard Windows app in terms of the DLLs etc it uses.

<t> The planes will try to rearm on landing with the ordinance they launched with. That other ordinance may be available will not stop them trying to re-arm with their original loadout - you need to manually intervene if you have run out of specific ordinance and want your places to arm with ...

Have you checked that the carrier actually has sufficient ordinance to rearm the aircraft ? You get the situation you describe when you are trying to arm your planes when you have an insufficient quantity of them to do so.

Also, have you looked at what is recorded in the logfile you will find in the logs directory ?

Well rather than wait until the end, could you not save the log periodically ? I think there is also an option to clear the log, so you could pause the game, save the log and then clear it, before resuming.
