RE: not sure if bug, but FG's keep dropping there target

Post by Hard Sarge »

the other FG's in NG are the 8th and the 475th

for me, everything works, the first day, after that all the units lose there target

I got both of the patches (not sure if the game was started after the patch or not)

game was started with North, Central, South and Southwest under my control, put the rest under computer

When you get a chance, plot some missions for SWPAC air units and then switch all your control zones to human control. Then run the turn and see what happens.

Well
couldn't tell if the game in question was started before or after the patch was DL

so I had started up another one to watch and it seemed to work the way it was suppost to (but I kept Computer control off)

so....

to make sure everything I got is run, using the 110c patch, I deleted my saves, and started over

greeeesh, 2 hours, been plotting and only down to Southwest pac (started northpac and moved clockward)

once I get the first turn set up and saved, then I can try it with computer control on and off, to see if that was the hassle or the patch

(I was slow in getting the patch, as I didn't have the 722 error or trouble with sound, later seen, that we should get it anyway, but dates on the saves and DL are pretty close, so can't be sure which one was started up first)

Crudwell
okay, running a patched game
no commands are under computer control

first day, every thing runs like a champ (35th FG sweeps and gets 30 kills !, 8th FG sweeps and gets 19 kills)left the 2 38 FG's at PM

(none of the 24's in South/Southwest flew there missions, but still got the right targets, weather ?)

CBI all flew to there targets

day 2
move the 18th FG over to Dorabuna, and set to sweep, they get pounded, but give better then they get

8th and 35th do not fly, and have lost there targets

the rest of the units in NG or CBI still show as holding there targets still

(had to shuffle a F4u4 unit over to Goodenough, so I got something I know will fly LRCap, got some ships out in the open and don't know what the 38's are going to do next)

I shut all the 38's down this turn, Fat is under 20, but will rest them a day and see if they follow orders the next

475th FG is still in OZ resting up

OK, see how you go.

The only time I normally see air units losing their target destinations is when I transfer them to another base. It shouldn't be happening in the circumstances you are describing.

If you have no luck, we'll have to get you to send a save.

Strange so far
the next day, reset the target for the 8th and 35th FG, and two days later, they are still following orders

over all all is good, but did get a one turn drop

have gotten a P-40 to fly LRCap, will look to see if the transport will work

looks (?) like something maybe changing the orders ?

but over all, this time around, the game is very playable

Dobo's got a problem ... it's a AF but it should be a base. It might be confusing the computer control.

Yea I seen that, but in my case, it is under my control, so the Computer control shouldn't be the hassle

(unless, you mean, the game has trouble with it)

:)

so far so good though, only about 8 days in, but only 2 units dropped orders, but started following them the next turn
