Congratulations Rick to you and the PC team for a difficult job well done. Looks like a very comprehensive set of fixes and improvements.

I wish PC all the best for the future.

Ha! Google has made a multi-multi-billion dollar empire out of HTML5,CSS & javascript.<br/>

C# is the dinosaur.<br/>

PCO was just ahead of its time.<br ...

Google maps have obviously changed their API and didn't tell me after all these years. Should be a very easy fix.

<t> Hi budd,<br/>
<br/>
Ok what that video shows should not happen!<br/>
<br/>
Tell me can you run the random campaign generator via the PCO main program or do you need to do it via the game start menu? (I seem to recall your original problem was not being able to run the random campaign ...

<t> Hmmm,<br/>
<br/>
It could be the link between mshta.exe and .hta files is broken.<br/>
<br/>
Ok next try starting one of the .hta programs directly from the PCO install directory by double clicking on it from windows explorer. Doesn't mater which one. If you get a windows doesn't know how to ...

<t> Open a command prompt and type "mshta.exe" and see what response you get.<br/>
<br/>
Sounds like an adware/spyware/malware removal tool may have done something bad to it.<br/>

What OS are you running?<br/>

You haven't removed/deactivated internet explorer?<br/>

Very atmospheric.

Look forward to the next installments.

<t> It was so long ago that I wrote it and I don't have the source any more so can't confirm 100% but these are (some) of the factors which get taken into account for "SOP" (Yoozer is right it is not technically SOP but the name/idea/menu space constraints kinda stuck)<br/>

0.1 Hz decision ...

<r> Andy there is 2 ways to do this.<br/>
<br/>
One quick way which may not be exactly what you are after is to start map maker in hires mode. This will double the mesh resolution for the map. At the cost of 4 times the polys however. It may still not be enough ground mesh res however.<br/>
<br ...

<t> It is recommended not to use SSD as swap as it potentially wears the drive too fast.<br/>
<br/>
DDR is cheap these days and you are much better putting in say 16-32GB and then using no swap at all.<br/>
<br/>
As the game is very CPU dependent the best specs are:<br/>

A very quick ...

Wrt the Sov AT guns. I've noticed that, when I opt for 100% Sov infantry, the RBG give me a lot of man-portable (small calibre) AT guns. Quite often, they will comprise 50% of the force, which is quite frustrating when I'm trying to set up ...

So let me check I've got this right.<br/>

I used the Scenario editor to create a scenario using an existing map that came with the game so I don't need to send any map files ('cos he should already have it).<br/>

I created ...

Possibly a side effect of having enlarged the unit size? Try lowering them back to normal and see how it looks.

Bil, so this is what you had up your sleeve?

Very, very interesting. Looking forward to developments.

I wish you (and Warren) all the best.

<t> Sadly this is Hollywood's (were I currently type this [;)] - oh the irony) idea of bino view (so the audience knows the pro/an-tagonist is looking through binoculars). <br/>
<br/>
A real bino view, if collimated correctly, focuses to a single viewing circle.<br/>

So in this case PCO ...

Yes you can always use the old ramming chestnut, the engine supports tank-tank ramming if charging. Provided you get close enough that is.

<t> Yes.<br/>

When you buy the game you get the digital elevation maps (DEMS) for the areas around Kharkov.<br/>
<br/>
DEMS for eastern europe and west russia are stored on the Matrix FTP servers and can be downloaded from within map maker.<br/>

If you want to go elsewhere you will ...

Heinrich,

That just put a big smile on the dial [:D].

Thank you so much. As J2D said, it really is nice to see someone enjoy PCO enough to write an AAR.

Happy New Year.

Hopefully more AARs to come in 2012?
