Updated DB image & description packs are available!

[BeirutDude]

Is the game still churning after 30 min or so?

Yes, I just started it and went out to get lunch for the family.

Now I deleted all of the Images and Descriptions and reran the patch and it started fine.

At this point I'm reloading the DB3000 and CWDB Images and Descriptions. Then i'm going to rerun the patch an see what happens. It ran fine last night when I did just that, it's when I tried to add the Secondary Images this morning that it happened again. If there is an issue I'm 99 and 44/100s sure that is where it is.

That's the ticket, Loading the straight databases without secondary images and running the last patch. Starts right up with no problems

So starts fine with no images/descriptions and starts fine with the base CWDB/DB3000 images after running the patch, but locks up with the Secondary Images added to the Image folders.

Thanks for all the hard work updating the images and descriptions.

Awesome job as always, team! After download, my CWDB is build 466 and my DB3000 is build 483. Is that correct?

[Sardaukar]

Only patches affect DB, these are just pics.

Thanks for update!

CV60, Hey I wonder if my issue is some kind of registration of the images to unit numbers? reason I say that was I was placing a Patriot battery in a scenario I'm designing and this is what came up for the image/description...

[CV60]

Thanks. I'll take a look at it. I may have simply typed the wrong facility number.

Edit: Yep, that is it. If you go into the DB3000 images, go ahead and delete Facility_3223, and do the same for the description file. I'll fix the issue in the next (30 June or so) image update

where do we post new images suggestions?

Thanks for offering to help. PM me and kgambit. Include a copy of the picture and the link to it. If we use it, we will put it in the next update (updates are generally released every 3 months, around 1 Jan, 30 April, 30 June, 30 Sept).

Thanks for these!

There's an issue with the description for #718 - AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM P3I.3 - it comes up as a MIM-23 HAWK description. Image looks OK.

Can workaround by deleting Weapon_718.txt

You are welcome. Thanks for your note about the MIM-23 file. FYI, We corrected the Weapon_718 issue the last update, but have not yet replaced it with a AIM-120C description. Because of that, if you simply did an overwrite of the description files, that change would not have been made in your installation, as the erroneous MIM-23 file would not have been overwritten, and would remain in your installation. Kgambit and I recommend that players do a complete deletion of all images and description files before applying the latest image and description packages. This is because we occasionally correct obvious errors such as the MIM-23 error that you note by simply eliminating the erroneous file, but do not replace the erroneous file with a corrected file (although we eventually will do so)

[Orffen]

Thanks, that must have been it!

[Parel803]

My apologize if I add in nthe wrong post. Aircraft image drawing in DB of the NH90 "Aircraft_656_t5"looks incorrect. I do hope I have the right DB intalled, if not sorry for the inconvenience.
with regards

[kgambit]

Parel,

Looks like you installed the CWDB line drawings in the DB3K image folder.

[Parel803]

with regards

As of DB v480 (possibly fixed in later version) weapon #668 has the wrong description. 20mm GAM-BO1 Oerlikon Burst [20 rnds] has description for MIM-23 Hawk. This was the description that the game (v1.01 - Build 1147.4) downloaded automatically- I did not manually install any descriptions/images.

Descriptions are a separate download and forum.
Try the following link https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3441939
and check you've downloaded the latest DB Image and description packs.
Cheers

Is there any chance the database and subscriptions files could be added to the steam workshop, so they would be installed automatically when posted. Once subscribed to ?

As I said in my post, I did not download any image or description packs manually. I simply installed CMO, launched it, and that was the description that was auto-downloaded.

In CMO images and descriptions are downloaded as needed if you didn't download the full package
