* Command now handles the 125% desktop font setting (increased DPI) much more gracefully, and adjusts the dimensions of the right-column panels to compensate. (We welcome feedback on any UI problem/mismatch we have missed.)

* New event-engine addition: Event Conditions.
Conditions are managed and added to/removed from events just like triggers and actions. An event without conditions fires normally (probability check etc.). If conditions are present, all of them must be satisfied in order for the event to fire. (We intend to add the option to configure whether all conditions must be satisfied or at least one of them, for greater flexibility).

* Added first event condition: Side posture. (e.g. Side-A must consider Side-B as [friendly|neutral|unfriendly|hostile]). The condition also has an optional "NOT" operator (e.g. Side-A must not consider Side-B as friendly).

* Simulation performance improvements, particularly in heavy DLZ code (e.g. large airgroups evaluating their missile shot against a target all at the same time).

* Added DB-hyperlinks to weapons on aircraft loadout selection window. Click on the weapon name and the DB-viewer will display the page for that weapon.

* Added DB-hyperlinks to the aircraft types in the air-ops window. Click on the aircraft type and the DB-viewer will display the page for that aircraft.

* The "Unassign" command ("U" key) has been added to the unit-context (aka right-click) menu.

* Includes the v398 versions of the DB3000 & CWDB database.

[Dimitris]

Sorry [:)]. Fixed.

[Figeac]

Thanks Sunburn! Maybe a stupid question... When we have a database update, do I have to upgrade all scenarios to the latest DB version on the editor?

BB 70 TCG Yavûz Sultân Selîm -- Turkey (Navy), 1938-1950, -work in progress

Not that it makes a whole lot of difference to this game, but this is the ex-SMS Goeben - a Moltke class BC from the old Imperial German Navy. She was launched in 1911, but transferred to Turkey in 1914, so her in service date with that country's navy should probably be 1914. The 1930's date is most likely when she was officially renamed from Goeben to Yavuz.

Thank you Mr. Sunburn! (and everybody else). [:D]

[ExMachina]

Great work guys. The weapons hyperlinks additions are very helpful!

[BKLANDIN]

Thanks guyS.

[Juramentado]

Good updates. Thank you very much. May I request someone look at the FA-50 loadout? There is a READY loadout AGM-65B Maverick EO loadout but it's not reflected in the loadout pack section - it's still showing LDGP instead.

[ComDev]

Oops, will update ASAP. Thanks! [8D]

"- 0005816: Nuke Talso carries wrong warhead"

I'm sure you meant "Talos" and I can confirm that this indeed has fixed the problem, the Talos RIM-8D now makes a very big BOOM [:D]

[$trummer]

Am I correct in observing that this update is not available via the launcher update function but can only be applied via download?

[Brazouck]

The hyperlinks are great, but it would be useful to have them in the weapon view of a unit too.

Interesting idea. Let us see what we can do about that.

Hi All,

very good update to an already wonderful game. I have one question. You are able to import pre-made facilities to a new scenario. But in the list i can't find germany, so there are no pre-made facilities for germany... Do you plan adding them ?

Would be nice when creating scenarios involving german Bases / facilities.
Well and because i'm german, it would be really nice for me too

I already built some of the airbases in Schleswig-Holstein with custom layers. They will be made available to all once my first scenarios are complete. [:)]
