Thanks again! I'll check that out. I have a lot to learn, and hope I'm not posting unnecessarily.

Ok, great, and thanks for the fast reply. I'll stick with what's more or less working now then [:)]

<t> I have noticed that the Difficulty Levels in my scenarios seems to stay at "Default". I will click on my side, read the mission, set it for something other than the default, and then click "ok". But if I click on the Difficult Level again, to check it, it's back on "Default". Is this not working ...

I have been playing the downloaded version, with its updates, and have now received the disc. Do I really need to install from the disc now tho?? Is there a risk of losing my updates or anything, and having to start those from scratch again? Thanks in advance.

<r> Thank you all for the info. Although game play itself is the best teacher, it'll definitely help me with this learning curve. At GlobalSecurity.org, I found a great reference page that will help me learn what weapon is used for what. Maybe it will help other newbees too(?). It's at <URL url ...

<t> I can't find in the manual any information on the various ship and aircraft weapons that we can use in battle. Is there a place to learn what various missiles are, and what they are best used for? For example, I know what an "ARM" is, but there are others such as HARM, etc, including many with ...

<r> Ok, and thanks. Lol... I wish I HAD that much time&nbsp;[:)]. I will do those upgrades tomorrow (well, later today!). I'm also looking at the PlayersDB that you mentioned (<URL url="http://www.harplonkhq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13">http://www.harplonkhq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13</URL>). I'm ...

<t> Well, I paid for the game, installed it, played around with it for 9 hrs (lol), and, have had around five crashes with it. I was mistaken in the version... it is 392DR. So do I still unzip and install the V392BComp, and then the UpdateHotFixv393? Should I install the first one, then reboot ...

Ok, and I thank both you and Herman. Still can't open that ftp page, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Thanks again.

Ok. Just tried that. 8 times. Nothing but the same page. I'm using Firefox rather than IE. Could that be a factor? Btw, would it be best to upgrade from 3.7 in steps... ie, 3.8 and then 3.9x?

<r> Hermanhum: I just checked out your patch link <URL url="ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon3ANW/">ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon3ANW/</URL> and there were no files there. Viewers 'can' go up to a higher level directory tho. Harpoon3ANW is listed as a directory. Thought maybe you should ...

So my question of "will I be able to upgrade to 3.8, 3.9, whatever, free of charge?" is "yes"?

<t> Lots and LOTS of internet and forum bickering, debating, pros, and cons regarding various versions such as 3.6 VS 3.7, etc. But I'm ready to take the risk and see for myself what is what. All I see for sale is 3.7, so my question is, will I be able to upgrade to 3.8, 3.9, whatever, free of ...
