Stock Data Base Update

[KDonovan]

PBYs regularly flew from the West Coast to Pearl Harbor, which is not possible with the current data settings.

PBY's can fly from S.F. to PH...but not the other W.C cities

Stock Scenario 2 IJN OOB error

The Shokaku and Zuikaku arrive in the Scenario around the 1st of Feb. IRL they arrived in drydock in Japan about that time and did not participate in the DEI campaign at all.

Also CV Kaga promptly struck a coral head upon arriving at Palau and was reduced to a max speed of 18 kts for the duration of the campaign. Departed for drydock in Japan on 15 March 42.

I've said this time and time again, but the PBY Catalina range is too short.  The maximum range, for this 'generic' Catalina which represents a mix of PBY-5/5A/6As should be 2500 miles.  PBYs regularly flew from the West Coast to Pearl Harbor, which is not possible with the current data settings.

The CHS variant should have corrected this too...

Reference: http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/hist-ac/pby-6a.pdf

There are a lot of planes which have skewed ranges. Try the DC3 or C 47 from the west coast to Pearl..I was told giving greater ranges to some planes would be abused by the players.
Being somewhat of a plane nut for maybe 50 years, I have altered a few settings in that wonderful editor for some of my planes.
I will never post them publicly due to the number of folks who only come here to either "troll" or justify their beliefs, (even after I give the warning this is for my "personal pleasure"..)
I may post my changes in the forum later, the individual gamer can either choose to do likewise, or make his own alterations..

Thnaks guys..it wasn't working yesterday...Now..how do I know if I downloaded and installed CHS correctly? Anything tell you what you're playing?  I don't think I installed it correctly..I am running Vista so i couldn't auto- install. But I get no selction screen as to which maps I want to use...will keep playing. I did a separate install so it's no big deal.

When you start it up, you should see the map you downloaded.

You select the scenario you are interested (i.e. 158) and load it... it you don't see the correct map, try running the Modselect utility (if it works)... if you don't see your scenario to select, you didn't succeed in a proper load.

Here's what's wrong...I just started a game, but many of the bases are in different places than there supposed to be on the map.  I assume it's using something stock and something CHS.  What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?  This has to have happened to someone else before!! lol

Run Modselect utility - you have the old map still.

[docpaul]

Do I use that before I load WITP or do I go out and use itonce I'm at the scernario select screen?

It seemed to work before I started....wow..I'm used to the smaller scenarios....I don't know where to start.! lol

How much longer before the data base is updated???
Are we almost there???

[wworld7]

Pry,

Would it be possible to know if this will be completed by the next patch. And if yes, will it be included in it.

Be well,

[Admiral Scott]

Fix WitP? Wait for the forum to explode when WitP II is in beta test!

[Admiral Scott]

Is there really a WITP 2 in the works??????

NO!

We can start another rumour, though.[:D]

Why? What purpose would that serve?
