<t> Hmmmm...I did install it the first time, but just to be sure I re-installed the Command Center.<br/> <br/> I can get into the command center and can access some of the buttons (Battle HQ, Mod Swap, Manuals and MM CCIII client) but CSO downloads, Matrix Games and Closecombat.org buttons don't get...

No problem, thanks to schrecken!

<t> Thanks Schrecken, the disabling videos got it to finally load. On the other hand, my CSO Downloads in the command centre button doesn't work. I tried searching for the Intel codec on the forums but haven't found it yet. <br/> <br/> I will keep looking, but a big THANKS for the quick answer buddy...

<t> OK, I downloaded it again, exact same size. It still doesn't work...<br/> <br/> When I first launch from the CoI Command Center I get the familiar red "Loading" screen, hear the music, and then a black screen. I can only exit by hitting my Start button and closing the "unresponsive program".<br/...

<t> Hi, I read Trotter's review and some of the forum posts and decided to buy. I downloaded from Digital River and installed, but the game would not work. When I click on play I get a black screen, some music, and then it freezes. So I uninstalled, reinstalled, and same thing. So now I am redownloa...

2 minutes to go...

5-6-42
7 kills by an AVG pilot[:)]

Pretty much a "perfect" carrier strike for the situation...

I like it! Gives some faint hope that using the "Stringbags" might sometimes actually work...like the Bismarck.[8D]

"tents fingers"
Excellent!

Can't wait, thanks for the update Kid![:)]

I noticed this also...my top pilots are not on the list...known bug?

<t> One thing that I have noticed also is that with Fog of War, the numbers in the combat reports are not always accurate...I made a raid with three carriers against Makin Island, 54 F4F vs. 40 A6Ms, March 42...the losses said that I had 44 F4Fs destroyed, 10 damaged vs 6 Zekes destroyed, 2 damaged....

<t> Yeah, you are right Ron, I usually have at least 80% to 90% available after just a couple of days of stand down...but like someone said in another thread (maybe you?), if we as gamers had to wait several days to form TFs, load cargo, etc., we might get bored! Not as realistic, but I guess it was...

I'm with Buck...thanks for the help, Kid, but maybe a permanent, easier fix (something like Mike or freeboy suggested)?

I agree with you Ron...hopefully the patch can fix some of these issues. To keep it "fair", I never use more than 4 ships in my ASW groups.

<t> Also during the "real" WWII, ops losses happened more due to shoddy upkeep of the planes, not enough ground support, and the hostile environment (jungle, humidity, ranges involved, etc.) of the Pacific war more than to pilot error, although Nikademus makes a good point that the pilots (both in t...

Yeah, I only catch a Japanese sub very rarely, and so far ( in my first campaign game, late March 42)I think I have sunk only one or two more of the Japanese subs vs my own being sunk.

I am sure that it is pretty obvious, but I can't find what it stands for in the manual or by doing a search.

I tried to make a defensive stand behind the river that runs in front of Mandalay, and the Japanese went right through it with no noticeable effect...maybe the pursuit rule?[:@]
