Are you sure the modified equipment file is installed correctly?

The carriers are supposed to be there to represent the wartime airfields to which the Poles moved most of their aircraft in the last days of August; but they shouldn't have the aircraft carrier icon nor should they have the carrier's stats. There will be other, less obvious problems with the scenario if TOAW isn't picking up the right file.

Are you experiencing this with the scenario as it comes with the later versions of TOAW III, or did you install it separately? If the former, then this is an issue for the person who put the files into the package. Otherwise I suppose it's the fault of the designer- that is, me.

I am playing this right now. It's the version that comes with the game. I am also seeing carriers.

OK, I have mentioned this over at the dev forum. If you're seeing carriers then there is at least one other thing that's broken in the scenario too.

I have sent the corrected equipment file to JAMiAM to incorporate in the next patch. Will try to link it here when I get the chance so you can download the correction before then.

As I suspected, it was an old version of the .exe that was used to build the .eqp file. Fortunately the carrier bug was the most severe problem with this file.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
