Has the TF Auto refuel system been changed in anyway recently? I'm continually getting TF arriving in port and not refueliing ,even though set to full refuel, where originally they did.

The behaviour seems to have changed (sometimes?). 2 saves are attached. Japanese side. The task force has arrived at Hong Kong at the first turn. It did not dock and not auto refuel. On the next turn (no order given to the TF) it has docked and is already partially unloaded. It still has not refuelled. Shouldn't it have already refuelled? Wasn't the refuel previously done at arrival?

Michael I think there could be something wrong with the TF window.
Look at TF 57 in the TF list it's listed as CS and tooltip also shows CS but looking at the TF itself it shows Human Control, now what really is weird is that clicking on return to Abadan the settings jumps to CS:Bombay.


@hades1001
As this topic came from this thread:
tm.asp?m=2989021
we should continue discussion there.

Michael is reading & answering there two.

Here a screenshot of the TF list.

And here a screenshot of the TF window.

I had noticed that behavior if you changed the CS to Human control. The CS flag wasn't being cleared.
It should be right in beta R9 though.

The placement of the 'refuel at port' function hasn't been changed. But just arriving at a base does not immediately cause a refuel. There are some other things that can happen before it does.
In this case, the auto refuel is happening after the TF unloads. In a way this would make sense. If the base had no fuel, and the TF was carrying the port's additional fuel, it wouldn't want to refuel as soon as it hit the base hex as there would have been no fuel there. Whereas waiting till the TF unloaded, the TF could get its fuel.
Refueling will almost always be done before a TF leaves on its mission.

Sorry I should have mentioned it, I already use r9.

Then post a save where it is happening, thanks.

Check post 1562, there is an attached save.

Thanks, didn't see if for the other posts.[;)]

It is the problem of the CS flag not being cleared. Just change the control from Human to Comp back to Human.

The TF was most likely taken out of CS in an earlier version so the flag was still set. R9 will only stop the problem going forward if the TF is removed from CS.

Ah OK, thanks.

Since upgrading to r9 I'm experiencing terrible replay slowdown whenever ground bombing happens, making the game practically unplayable. An example of an affected replay is attached. What can be the cause of this.

This seems to be a save from 1106i not r9.Save is dated July 2011

Sorry, picked up wrong replay slot. Here's the one from today.

It ran okay to completion.
Message delay was 1 second.
I could hit escape to speed it up animations or space bar to speed up the delay.

Reinstalling fixed the problem, sorry for bothering you...

Not that I am aware of.

I think there is. For instance TF 487 at Manus should have refueled on arrival at the port but it didn't. I left it for a turn but it still didn't. Port size 7 with plenty of fuel and naval support at 138. There are no large TF docked but two undocked cargo TF unloading.

Save attached

TF487 arrived at LA and refueled okay.
