Thanks

[tjhkkr]

Thank you, as always.

[brdxman]

Excellent!

[JPFisher55]

Thanks for the update. Can someone post instructions on how to use the Lua hooks to disable AI for static units?

[CmdSoda]

A big thank you to your development team.

The performance tweaks have had a big impact on my system, the game is much more smoother

Thanks..

P.S

The bug that resets a subs manual override depth and speed when a new plot is made is still in the game.. Thanks for the fixes so far though..

Can confirm, this is still an issue.

Not that you ever stated or implied it, but the fuel consumption error that I reported in Tech Support under Fuel Consumption rates and Air to Ground Attack Profile is still present.

It is not uncommon to see one bomber heading for the target (or home) at 200 feet AGL, while the other is next to him flying at 36000 feet AGL. Obviously, the one closest to the ground will eventually be in peril as far as fuel is concerned.

The example provided shows two planes (as a group) headed for the target. One is really high (36K ft.), and one is really low (200 ft). but they are part of the same group.

Just so you know....This did not ever happen in CMANO using the same test scenario, and (as I said) it doesn't happen if the planes are flying as singles (i.e. NOT GROUPED together).

Done, sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience!

Great! Thanks.

Hate to disagree but I've had the issue in CMANO as well.

How long does it take to unzip for all of you.
Right now, looking at a 3-hour effort.

[Tiramisu]

For me it just took a few minutes, because I have installed CMO on a SSD. It also improves the performance if you install it on a SSD, because there are a lot of small files, that take forever to read and write on a hard drive.

All computers are different, as I'm sure that you know. Mine is average.

To download took about two minutes, and to unzip took about one minute. Installing over took another minute. So, the entire process from start to finish was less than five minutes.

1115.8 tacview can't work, but 1115.7 is ok.

[thewood1]

I know TacView just updated to 1.8.1 today. Make sure that isn't the issue.

btw, burying an issue inside an announcement thread is not the best to get a quick official reply.

About 5 or so minutes to decompress and copy over, the /ww folder with the 22k of the 27k files took the majority of that time. 3-hours sounds like a drive problem perhaps even if on a slow 5400rpm physical drive with slow access time and going drive-to-same-drive (which def could double or triple the avg time), shouldn't take THAT long.

Did it actually take 3 hours in the end for you, or was that just the 'initial estimate' from windows or 7zip tool? Cause mine sort of said that (for 15 or so seconds before recalculating that it would take 3hr) but was done in < 5min.

Help me out. I downloaded 1115.7 from this forum and unzipped it to "CMO-MultiSetup-v1.00.11153" which is the folder that was set up when I installed the game. The upgrade did not take and the build remained at 1115.3. I was able to upgrade thru the game installer. Just tried the same thing for the 1115.8 download from this post, with same results. If its not "CMO-MultiSetup-v1 . . ." that I should unzip the download to, then what is this "installation folder" you refer to and where can I find it?

And a big thanks to you and all the devs. I've enjoyed CMANO since it came out and looking forward to CMO.

"installation folder" - is the folder your game is installed to.

The google drive link download above is to zipped file, one only needs to extract\copy what's in it to the folder where your game is installed overwriting existing files. So if you have 1115.3 installed and you unzip the contents of this patch to game folder overwriting what's there you should be up to date and have 1115.8.
