If you use 1/3 rule this will not happen.

Ah, yes it does. It's happened to me many times. I now don't assign all the aircraft to a mission at the start of a scenario so when the aircraft do hit bingo fuel, they all don't head back at once and leave me with no/minimal aircraft in the patrol zone.

But 1/3 rule will leave gaps, as I mentioned in my post.

True, that's why I am seconding your post. We both agree that it would be better to change 1/3 rule so the bingo fuel aircraft is leaving the patrol zone at the same time that the replacement aircraft is entering it. It's not too big a deal if the patrol zone is near the airbase/carrier, but it is a much bigger deal if the patrol area is far away. Especially tankers/maritime patrol aircraft. They have very long ranges and are fairly slow.

it could be done with a "pre-bingo" trigger, maybe? That calculates the time it takes for the aircraft to fly to the patrol zone (including take-off times) and substract it from the time the aicraft on active patrol has got before hitting its bingo fuel.

Sounds easy to me, in fact I can pretty much do it manually without even thinking about it. But im not sure if it's as easy to implement, but I wouldn't think it's impossible.

Ah, sorry for misunderstanding what you meant.

What I want is not on this list - Editable DB.

You can do it with a little bit of knowledge of SQL and a SQL editor. The underlying DB isn't that complex, and some guesswork goes a long way. You do have to keep updating your changes, but I'm working on something that should help with that.

Multiple monitors have been supported even from v1.0. Multiple map windows.... maybe someday.

voice activated commands....

Congrats on an amazing update. Sorry if mentioned above. How are we coming with engaging a REAL opponent
Where are we with Multiplayer options?

Thanks. Currently multiplayer is possible via Baloogan's Joint-Command plugin, available here: http://baloogancampaign.com/command-plu ... t-command/

Other modes of MP are being considered for development in the future.

i started playing harpoon in like 91`92.... this game is so outstanding and bloody lovely to look at.... thank you guys... sometimes i spend hours moving around the map an going through the data base and dont run 5 minutes of game play....

i would love to see real time co`op play.....

How about the ability to have multiple windows. I would love the ability to create zoom windows on targets and place them on my 2nd monitor to eliminate the constant zooming in and out.

You can use quick-jump slots to accomplish this. See the 'user interface' section on the manual addendum pages.

This is a bad idea. With the amount of time I am sitting and playing this game, scrolling on the mouse to zoom in and out is the only reliable exercise I am getting!

1) Probably someone already proposed this: the ability of adding vectorial layers (e.g shp) to enhance the playing environment.

2) Some level of control over unit doctrines in order to enhance the fidelity of the behavior in some situations. For example Libians in the 80's firing at Egyptians, their stock of expensive weapons (e.g. missiles) was limited, and their salvoes would be most probably limited in number (keeping the remaining munitions until the first rounds came by the target).
Right now the AI is always in WWIII mode, very effective, but usually wasting about half the salvo on a burning hulk.

Keep the good work,[&o]
