<t> If Gary posted here, what would Joel do? [;)] The couple times I met the guy (many years ago). He struck me as a pretty quiet taciturn sort, probably more comfortable programming than talking. Joel on the other hand likes explaining things. <br/> <br/> I do know from Uncommon Valor days that Gar...

<t>Since Joel Billings was the founder of SSI, I wonder if he has any comments on the revivial?<br/> <br/> I'd be curious to hear a short history of SSI. I remember buying an SSI game Bismark I believe on cassette tape for the Apple II... Then I got a Floppy Drive and pirated from a friends. Sorry J...

<t>In my 2 PBEM games there has been a lot of fighting around Lungaville and Neva.<br/> <br/> Although some of many units were destroyed outright, I evacuated some and was victorious in other attacks after heavy losses.<br/> <br/> What I find strange is the lack of replacements. The manual says when...

<r><QUOTE><s>[QUOTE]</s>However, I stand by my statement. It is unrealistic to put capital ships through continous major actions without serious system degration. I used guns only as one example (dont get me started about boiler tubes, forced draft fans, evaporaters and such) This can be corrected i...

I went diving in Guadacanal a few years ago there are several Marus which were beached and then sunl . Here in Pearl Harbor there are a number of ships that sunk in port, several of which took some time to sink..

<t>Eric has identified 3 of my 5 biggest beefs in the fog of war.<br/> <br/> 1. Ground combat gives way to much information.<br/> <br/> 2. Port recon gives way to little information. <br/> <br/> 3. The spotting order allows a human to know there was misidentification.<br/> <br/> 4. The opposing side...

<t>Eric<br/> <br/> I feel your pain, I was amazed that even right after upgrading my computer from 450 MHz to 2.4 G 2.0 game became much more sluggish<br/> <br/> After I deleted/moved all my old 1.4 files (I had 30+ slots used).<br/> Tthe time after I clicked on end of turn until the load/save scree...

<t>Nor is training working properly. In a PBEM #19 game against Mogami the Kate squadron starts off with 6 Kates and 6 pilot.<br/> Shortly after reaching port, the squadron recieved 6 new kates, and soon after 6 new pilots (experience ranging from 35-51).<br/> <br/> I put the squadron on 90% trainin...

<r><QUOTE><s>[QUOTE]</s> Ross Moorhouse Also delete all your old 1.4 save files.

<t>I guess I was not particularly clear. <br/> The time to start the application has increased by a noticable amount from 1.4. To the point now where after clicking to get past the films, Matrix logos etc. It take a least 15 seconds longer to get to the initial screen. This wouldn't be a big deal ex...

Another one on the way slot 18

<t>I guess all the features slowed the game. I timed it the load time in a good 10 seconds slower than 1.4.<br/> <br/> The end of turn takes between 50 and 55 seconds to go from the game map to save screen. Basically, I was impatience and thought the game had hung. <br/> <br/> It is pretty sluggish ...

<t>After installing the game I find that it takes a very long time to get past the splash screen (several minutes.) Left clicking or hitting enter bypass the splash screen, but then I get a corrupted screen.<br/> <br/> I have a similar problem with hitting end turn on PBEM game. It doesn't seem to t...

<t>Apollo read the Battle of Bismark Sea. The ill fated convoy was kept under practically continuous surviallence by PBY and bombers.

<t>I find in my PBEM games that in good weather about 3/4 of my TFs are spotted, this drops to roughly 1/2 turning bad weather.<br/> <br/> A fair number of my TFs (especially small ones) actual complete there missions without being spotted eventhough they can be as close as 6 hexes to an anybase wit...

A couple of my PBEM opponents have had trouble playing the game from their laptops, so I think that maybe the password file is stored seperately.

I am about to upgrade computers, and I fear I will have the same problem.

<t>Drongo gave you information about B17 attacking from high altitude (which I assume is in the 10-15,000 range.) <br/> <br/> I provided information in the B17 thread about B17 attacking in the low-medium altitude (3-6,000) during the Battle of Bismark Sea, in which they were fairly effective (5% bo...

<t>There are a bunch of check that a unit has to pass before it goes on a mission. Each failed check reduces the number of planes flying by 25% (I am not sure how exactly the 25% is calculated if you fail multiple check). It is really easy to fail 3 checks meaning roughly 1/4 of the ready planes wil...
