Disappearing pilots

Between the 7/13 and 7/15/44 turns my opponant (KDonovan) and I each had about 30% of our pilots disappear. Saves are available. Who wants them?

I'm betting this is triggered by running out of pilot slots. But we will look and see.

Saves sent. Thanks

Make sure you hold on to the saves from before the pilots disappear, no way to go backwards without those.

OK -- i have RUPDs saves - but you didn't tell what exactly i am looking for... which pilots/where are they disappearing...

Also, i still don't have Kdonovan's turn and password...

.. oops - double post...

sorry about that...saves and password sent

here's a sample of pilots that are missing.....from my top pilots list before and after the bug. I underlined the pilots that went AWOL

Ah - thanks for that - i didn't know if i was supposed to be looking in the pilot list, or for a specific squadron or what... this will make it considerably easier (esp. to see if the problem duplicates).

Since i am turning in for the evening now, i'll get to examine this tomorrow! [8D]

Check out my fighter squadrons at Tokyo . Thats where most went missing from.

Most were only in their 50s with no kills so I don't have a nice list like Kenny.

Now I see why I am getting killed in A2A. [:D]

Edit: Wasn't Putnam still in a P-40 when he had his "Accident"?

Ran the turns and i get pilots disappearing, but not the same pilots are you guys had vanish...

i am asking Joe if this is a duplicable bug or not... [&:]

interesting....i think as Joe stated we probably ran out of pilot slots. Its mid-1944 in our game and we've only lost 23,000 planes combined, with a large portion loss on the ground

thanks for the work so far

Can you guys each send me your War in the Pacific.exe files???

Joe suggested i check the files using your exe files and see what happens...

i am also going to try re-running the turns, but this time booting in between each segment of your turns (instead of just at the start)... perhaps that will change things...

main WITP folder - if you use default setup, it is in "c:/Matrix Games/War In the Pacific/" iirc.

errk - not received - i suspect my e-mail provider has bounced the e-mail because it had an exe file... but let's wait before trying a resend - i have an update...

UPDATE:

well, i decided to try an experiment - i re-ran the turns, but REBOOTED after each step (i.e. - cold boot - load IJ turn - finalize - save - reboot - load Allied turn - finalize - save - reboot - load IJ turn - check and the Tokyo fighter squadrons)... and it appears the pilot loss goes away... i am going to work on it a bit more...

FURTHER UPDATE:

THis is just strange: i checked the Japanese fighter units in Tokyo as you suggested after doing all the reboots - no pilots appeared to be lost (the get pilots buttons were greyed out).

i then saved the turn - rebooted - reloaded the save turn and bunches of pilots had disappeared... what the heck??? [&:]

The numbers were NOT the same as in your saved turn - i.e. one unit lost 11 pilots in your save, but only 6 pilots in the reload (and none were lost before the save...)
