8 days into the 1943 Campaign, and i am losing way more to crash landings at my bases, than to enemy action, every raid i send will lose planes to crash landings, a few down to damage sustained, but by heck it is a wonder we won, sent a raid of 180 lost 2 to Flak 3 to fighters, 15 to crashes on ...

I assume you are playing with the latest official patch 1.06.101? Are the turnbacks showing up all of a sudden?

Whatever causes the turn back issues (which by all accounts was thought to be fixed) has nothing to do with anything you can possibly imagine. It has stymied all programmers of this ...

Currently having a lot of turnbacks, seems worse for B17Gs, weirdly rather than B24Js although they have a problem.

This is with squadrons that are on quite high morale (some on 99) and experience in the mid to low 70s,

A raid on say Schweinfurt in Feb 44, with little or no Luftwaffe interference ...

I think I might be unable to get BTR to run properly on my new laptop...

I started with a fresh copy of 1.00, could not find where to put the updates on my computer.
I have all the various updates, and wanted to run 1.06x5, I am open to playing newer versions...

So I started a test game with 1 ...

Quick note about DXWnd v 2_05_86 (the latest as of Jul 15, 2022) under Windows 11.

You can import the EDBTR.dxw file as indicated at the top of this thread, but you need to change how hooks are handled in the 2_05_86 to 'mixed mode' from a default of 'IAT Scan'

Your Hooks tab should look like ...

I also found that running the game as administrator is not the panacea I thought it was. This is an issue with the game's memory caused by, as far as I can tell, launching large 400-500+ aircraft raids all at or near the same time.

Fixing this issue, if and when I find a solution, could result in ...

Are you sure there's no heavy AA there?

Also, are your planes diving to attack?
If they are, they will get hit by AA.

You shouldn't be getting hit by LAA if you're above their altitude limit. Same as HAA.


Yeah,no heavy it is an airfield. This was B25's with a close escort of Spitfires, where ...

I have been doing some medium bomber raids on airfields with lots of light AA (131). I can go in at 10 or 12,000 feet and my bombers and more irritatingly escort fighters get a right kicking off light AA(by kicking I mean slaughtered) , supposedly above the max altitude. The airfield is Nordhorn, I ...

Thank you for your patience, I spent a lot of my life bug hunting in code, I can imagine it can be frustrating with what must be old code

Well, after my spam in the previous message,*I think* it still happens, have sometimes wondered if the Axis oil shortage is affecting the larger allied bombers (as axis do not take off for the RCM planes and intruders that take of).

No message saying cancelled and comparatively clear skies.

Finding these posts has helped a lot, repeatedly had raids cancel with no reason given on what appear to be decent days.

Am running .83 version, dropped some Liberators from 28k foot down to 24k and they finally launched, but I have had raids go out at this altitude and 30k for fortresses in the ...

Sorted actually, found the ability to make ref points relative to a formation.

Did originally post this in Steam forums but figured might have a better hance here.

I have spent a reasonable amount of time googling the hell out of this, there is a lot of "chaff" on youtube in the way. If there is a way in the game it does not seem intuitive but I have only just got the game ...
