Playing Surface Tutorial 1.4, This was toward end of tutorial (I think). My ship was patrolling around RP Foxtrot. Hull sonar set to passive and located enemy sub.

I launched the helicopter.

I think selected the helicopter and launched an Automatic Attack from helicopter to the sub.

The torpedo ...

Thanks for the update! I will be looking forward to this. Hopefully it will be a WWII era, but knowing WWII will come even if it isn't first is good to know

I have attached a save game at point after creating the 2nd Patrol (single recon to Mission 2 area), but prior to creating the New Mission for the strike shown in the first post in this thread.

However, When I attempted to recreate the Exception error, it didn't happen this time, so I suspect I did ...

I am also going through the Tutorials in an attempt to learn the game.

As others have posted, in Tutorial 2 Driving through the Daisies, I'm having trouble getting the 6th bomber strike mission to trigger. While trying some different things in the Mission Editor I noticed the far right column ...

Using Build 1328.18. Going through Air Tutorials - Strike tutorial 1 - Strike 3 exercise.

Not sure if this is a bug, or if it's working the way it is supposed to.

When selecting Auto Engage then holding down the left mouse button to drag select multiple targets (the 2 target 3's). This doesn't ...

Message log not displaying The messages in this tutorial. See screen shot below. This one worked properly on build 1328.14.

This appears to be a systematic error. Should I keep reporting these as I work through the Tutorials?

Thanks

I've played through Tutorial 8 AAW6 Advanced Combat several times. The result has consistently been that after shooting down the 4th Syrian plane, the scenario ends (with a Minor defeat). This occurs even though I haven't downed any civilian aircraft, or lost any of my sides aircraft. And I am still ...

Below is screen show to Message Log for Tutorial 8 AAW6 Advanced Combat.

Note that the message log does not contain the information in the message, rather a LOAD instruction. this same behavior is also in build 1328.14.

Tutorial 7 AAW 5 Modern Russian and Chinese Weapons has the same issure. But ...

Do you want feedback on the 1328.18 build here or somewhere else?

Rick

Yep, The second Tutorial 5 worked and loaded the messages into the Message Log.

Then I went on to the last one (Tutorial 8 Advanced Combat). It seems to be ending prematurely, I see there might be an update in the forums i might try. Thanks for the help.



If you updated normally then you are not ...

Thanks Nikel! Tried the second version and it worked as you said! Thanks again!

Oh, I did update the game, but I didn't realize it was a beta. I simply used the "Check for Updates" button on the games main menu, and it updated.

Thanks!
Rick


There are 2 versions of this scenario.

Dated in 2024 ...

I upgraded today from CMANO to CMO. I am going back through the Air tutorials. I think it's Air tutorial 6 or 7 (Russian and Chinese Modern Weapons.

I get the special message pop-up, at beginning of Tutorial that describes the Planes and weapons for both the Russians and Chinese. But when I close ...

Sorry to hear that, though i certainly understand. I've enjoyed some of the games you've put out Mainsworthy!

Rick

Yes, I agrees it was a good game. I wish we could have done more. But i doubt that will happen

Now that they are selling Combat Mission (a far inferior game) for $50 plus dollars plus expansions they probably have now incentive or desire to work on this and likely don't care to have it ...

Thanks for posting the review. I played some of the older CM titles years ago, and picked this up last month. But I haven't made the time to jump in yet. Maybe now's the time.

Thanks
Rick

Ok, finally got it running. I'm going to explain since this may pop up again.

I uniinstalled then reinstalled. When I tried opening, I again got the error msg. But I noticed that the erro msg was overlaying a Adobe Acrobat window. So I suspected that somehow, the file association for .jar files got ...

Tried the solutions above and it didn't help.

The directory .../Desert War did not have a Start.exe. I copied the Start.exe from Stalingrad to the Dessert War folder, but it gave the msg, can't open DesertWar.jar error msg.

The start.bat file in the Desert War folder flashed something on screen ...

I also had this same problem today after updating the game to latest version. I"ll try above.

Rick

Done!

What game engine does Matrix use now?

eggmansdaddy



Not really sure, what they are using now. Panzer Command was written in C# for the main game (It didnt use a generic game engine) and most of the tools written in javascript if I recall. I thought at one point Matrix was going to Unity, but I ...
