I do have multiple drives
DW2 is installed on D:\Matrix\Distant Worlds 2
Updating from 1.2.2.0

When I try to update from the game menu I get the following.
So I downloaded the update file manually and ran it.

When I began to update from the launcher, it was pointed to the correct location.

Ran into this message trying to update DW2 to 1.2.7.7. How do I get around it?

Is it possible to port a game from Early End scenario to No Early End?

Using Auto assign

That did it!
Thank you.

Tried that. No flights.

Dropping the fighter escorts from the AD's and the bombers still don't fly.

On the two missions in question, it is beyond escort range.
There is no No Fly Info on the bombs and they didn't fly.

Sorry. I don't know what/where the No Fly Info is.
There is no such term or similar term in the manual that I can find.

Is it from the Air Doctrine screen, Bomb City tab?

What do you think?
I mean besides the bigger issue... There are too many new players.
Yes I recently bought this game and I read the manual in its entirety. It is the first time I am creating AD's and am having some trouble.
Your attitude is warm and welcoming, really makes newbies want to jump in ...

If the AI thinks there is a 100% damage anyway or no worthy target, it might not launch the raid.
Happened to me a few times.

I went back and added recon AD's to the Bomb City targets. Still no Bomb City action...

Why do you say that? I don't think that's the case, well within range and lots of planes available, in supply.

With the same AD's I put Auto, they don't fly either.

What do you think?

I setup some bomb city AD's, well within range and with fighter escorts.
Turned AI assist off.
Missions are not being flown...
Can anyone tell me why?

That's right. AI is on and AI puts the groups back on the map even though I trying to get them to a theater. Via trial and error, AI only does this to certain German groups...

What's odd, it happens outside the air planning phase.

Agreed.
I've started to move fighters closer and put them on hold stance, otherwise AI will move them back next turn.

If I create a Superiority AD, will AI remove it?

Playing as Axis, using Air Assist.
Soviets bombing and damaging railyards to great affect, 20-40% damage.
The Soviet attacks are mostly unopposed, no Axis fighter cover.

How can I better protect against these attacks?
Why doesn't AI Assist provide any aircover?

I have been trying and failing to move air units from the map to Finland (in short supply of air).
1. I put a map air unit in the National Reserve (takes 1 turn)
2. Once in the National Reserve, you can't move it immediately (just arrived)
3. The next turn the unit in removed from the reserve and ...

Got it.
Right click on the unit in the reserve box to send it to any theater

Actually, no I did not...

Found it
