Hardwired discoveries

[Yogi Yohan]

There are quite a few hardwired exceptions in WIR, and some are apparently not yet known to scenario designers out there (at least not to me!)

Perhaps this would be a good thread to post your findings on the nebulous inner workings of WIR? I'm referring to stuff that has not already been discussed in the EDITWIR documentation.

Aircraft type slots 17-22 are for types that you cannot change production to. (Fokkers, Mixed etc)

Don't move the Finnish Karelian Army HQ from it's existing slot (slot one). If you do, any Finnish units placed in it will automatically be moved to whatever HQ now occupies slot one.

Uhh, I can. WiR 3.101 and Campaign '41. It allows me to change German fighter groups in Italian front to the Macci and Mixed fighters and fokker. ???

You can change fighter groups to these planes. You cannot change factories into building them.

The types of German (and I assume, Soviet) TD (Light, Medium, Heavy) are hardwired to the slots they presently occupy. Changing the classification has no effect.

Editwir was updated prior to the release of 3.101, but the updates I've added now will show up in the next release.

I'v just discovered that the HQ of appearance for airgroups is Hardcoded! Arghhhhh!!!!!!
(all that work arranging airgroups into a logical sequence down the gurgler!!!)
to recap
Slots 1 to 4 appear in the Finnish Karalian Army HQ.
Slots 34, 35, 36, and 100 appear in the Romanian 3rd Army HQ.
Slots 37, 38, 98, and 99 appear in the Hungarian 2nd Army HQ.
Slots 51, 52 and 91 to 97 appear in the Italian 8th Army HQ.
All the remaining slots will appear in the O.K.H. HQ.

Yep, don't you just *hate* hardwired numbers?
