A couple of questions

Post by countrboy »

I just had a few questions:

- interface problems - sometimes I have to right click 5 or 6 times to bring up the unit info dialog. Similarly, sometimes I have to left click a unit 5 or 6 times to deselect it after hitting hotkey-F. Is this normal? Is anyone else experiencing this?

- if the turn time is 18:00, is it still worth putting up recon flights, or is it effectively night-time?

Thanks.

For the first one I refer you to the Tech Support forum. For the second one, and on the basis of a recent post by bcgames (the designer of the scenarios), "sunset" aerial missions can be expected less effective because of the reduced amount of daylight during the turn.

No, this is not normal. If you restart the game from scratch, can you duplicate the problem at will?

It happened every game. That said, I've tried using a different mouse and the problem has gone away. So it appears to be a hardware issue and not related to the game, which is good news. Thanks for the replies.
