Oh. That actually worked. Thanks... I guess

It's installed and updated from Steam, same as on my Desktop.

<r> It just hangs on the splash screen. The exception log shows this:<br/>

<CODE><s>[code]</s>Initialization started.

<r> I've been wondering why the AI is constantly setting up invalid ADs. For instance, the attached image is from the Full Campaign, Turn 1. (without additional Air HQs).<br/>
<br/>
It also likes to set up day missions when only NF are available. And I was simply using the default Air Directive as ...

Ah, the second restart did the trick. I know it's some steam problem, sometimes updates don't show up for a while. Possibly because not all their content servers are synced at the same time.

Thanks, all working now

Not seeing it on steam yet? I'm still on the 1.02.28 Beta.

<t> Cary, thanks a lot. While I don't follow your target strategy much, this is exactly what I hoped for regarding "how should i set up the air force" and "what planes go where ideally?"- Great help for me to see what planes and load outs you'd choose for your targets.<br/>
<br/>
Also I am ...

<r> So I hope you don't mind I continue this thread with ongoing questions about how to organize a proper AF from a noob's perspective.<br/>
<br/>
Looking at Battlefield Italy opening turn. My (naive) thoughts:<br/>
<br/>
I took stock and indeed I don't think I need to move much. <br/>
<br/>
I ...

Yup, found the button. But have no Lancaster or 17Gs in pool yet. Will keep an eye on when they become available. (There seems to be factory production) [Reminder: I'm only playing battleground Italy for now. 95 turns is enough to aim for after basically only practising Husky.

Replacing units for others? I guess I have to read up on how that even works (my guess would be the refit button?)

<t> Thanks again, this all is really helpful.<br/>
<br/>
I was wondering about Intruder missions. What is the advantage over daytime Superiority missions, if any?<br/>
<br/>
I would assume Intruder missions will go for enemy fighters on runways/hangars? Does that mean they get fewer kills but ...

<t> Ah I misunderstood, thank you for clearing that up. (Although I read "I recommend transferring all Malta Command air groups to Tactical Air Force except for naval air groups") <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I will be trying to implement that tonight (for now I tackle Italy only, the Grand Campaign is for ...

Oh, thanks, that could likely be the reason. I will check next time I encounter a flashing AD.

I wish such warnings would be displayed in the pop-up for the AD, same as wrong altitude or d/n planes.

<t> Thanks - that are actually some pointers I hoped for. <br/>
<br/>
Indeed, I am not a history buff, I don't care for historical accuracy (i like what-if scenarios) but it should be plausible at least.<br/>
<br/>
I think next step is to actually read about the plane models - I assume that what ...

<t> Hm then I have no idea what would cause the flashing AD borders.<br/>
<br/>
I know it happened when I set a night only AG to a day mission - this was also displayed in the popup. The flashing disappeared when I fixed it.<br/>
<br/>
But another Superiority mission flashed when there was ...

<t> I did read most of these tutorial sources but none of them really help with Air Force structure and Air Group composition.<br/>
<br/>
I often re-play husky and other quick scenarios just to try things out. I understand what different air directives do, how to set up missions and getting better ...

<r> I'm in turn one of a new Battlefield Italy scenario and after reading a lot of tutorials on various aspects about air groups, bases, directives and doctrines and also watching some games by seemingly quite experienced players it seems that usually it is a good idea to reorganize the Air Force a ...

<r> Thank you for confirming, this was driving me crazy <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
While I (maybe?) have your attention, a quick question I could not find anywhere in the manual regarding ADs:<br/>
<br/>
I noticed that sometimes the area rectangle of a AD is blinking. It seems in some cases it is ...

I think I found the reason: I don't remember it MYSELF, but I saw it over and over in Pewpewchewchew's tutorial videos: He is playing version 1.0.0.08, so I guess the sidebar for the air relocation has changed since then?
