Database issues under 3.8.0

[Anonymous]

Hello,

started playing 3.8.0 and stumbled over two topics:

A.
Just tried to play the scen "Battle of the Western approaches" ("Cold War" battleset) under ANW 3.8.0 and faced two database (standard database) issues:

1. Stratotankers unable to launch from St. Mawgan; their flight radius is zero.

2. Eight Tornados GR.1B at Stornoway reloaded, but their status did not change to "ready"; it freezed at 0:00 and thus the ac cannot be launched.

This worked in 3.7.0 with the standard db, thus I think at least 1. is a database issue.

B.
A second issue: Changed to ANW database and did not find the scens in the battleset window. Looked at the files and saw that there is asubfolder in the H4 folder. Copied the scenarios one level upwards and then they were found in the battleset window. Minor issue, just a hint.

Regards,
Ralf

Just to confirm same about the Stratotankers. I discovered the one in tutorial 6 starts with zero fuel load, then it seems any added using the editor also invariably start at ground level (just as well!) with no fuel.

My first time dabbling with the scenario editor; is it possible to change altitude, speed, fuel etc using that or does that have to be done within the database?

BTW, in tutorial six it's impossible to equip the F-16s as 'Good Guys 1' has no weapon stores; is there any way to change that using the scenario editor? It seems the editor doesn't let you 'edit' much!

Open the H3Launcher application. Go to the Game Preferences Tab and uncheck the Aircraft Logistics button. The tutorials are designed to be played without that restriction.

Cheers,

Oops.. yes, thanks for that. I recall now that I hit the same hiccup when I first got the game, and needed help then. I think my memory is fading with age!

Doesn't help the poor Stratotanker still grounded in South Wales though! [:D]

Ok guys I've found your Database issue involving the KC-135E's. They have enough fuel, unfortunately no propulsion system to use it. The problem is with the Aircraft's engine type. Although named KC-135 Turbo-Fans, they have their primary engine type set to Torpedo Engine.[&:]

So unfortunately no KC-135E's in that scenario. I'll add it to the list, and thanks very much for the "heads up".

Cheers
