Thanks - I haven't finalised it yet and was hoping I'd get to do that pretty soon.

Need to:
[*] rework the airframe and engine set up for both realistic and unrealistic R&D.
[*] Provide save files
[*] Complete the timetable info at the end.
[*] Talk about the differences with Scen2

Cheers

Minor changes to the doc and pdf.

Save file - completed orders up till the airframe sequence
Scen 1, R&D realistic
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17642556/wpae005.pws


Will dropbox another once (air/eng) that is completed.

Slow going due to RL stuff...

look forward to the completed doc in due course

on a slightly related subject i seem to remember some time back i was reading something about Japanese (first turn?) strategy # (more military than economic i think) - was this also something you did and if so do you have a link - i looked through the FAQ which had loads of useful stuff but didn't see anything

# and there may have been one about aircraft production and what what engines/frames to turn on/off - is this what you are going to cover?

i have just started working through your guide and applying it in game - very helpful, and can't imagine how you guys managed before Tracker - it really helps to get to know how the game works

Probably not me. But I would like to suggest than now PBEM passwords can be changed that some of the more experienced players submit their first turn for analysis. I can see how they probably wouldn't like to do this, as it might reveal too much - but we could make it anonymous.

# and there may have been one about aircraft production and what what engines/frames to turn on/off - is this what you are going to cover?

Yeah - at present it is not as I want it. I started doing without realistic R&D and I think I should do that first. The info there at the moment is not good enough for me.

i have just started working through your guide and applying it in game - very helpful, and can't imagine how you guys managed before Tracker - it really helps to get to know how the game works

That's why Floyd and I started making Tracker and we're glad ppl get good use out of it.

Lastly, one thing I haven't done with the savefile and that is move engineers for port expansions. I did set some rudimentary ASW though.

Cheers

Hi

Starting to get some questions now - hope its OK to post here unless you prefer a PM.

In the Day one task list theres a list of what convoys to set up - however what is the logic behind the Toyahama to Iwaki convoy as its just from one side of the same island to the other?

Oops confusing spelling mistake; I meant Toyohara (Sakhalin) to Iwaki ... thanks for spotting that. [edit] Guess that makes a big difference[X(][8|]

Post any Q's you have here ... but it is getting a bit late PM in Korea now. I will answer sometime though.

double post ...

Finished for the night ... just uploaded a new version with the plane factories done - I hope. I decided to go moderately light with it and not to dictate too much. Plug in the numbers tomorrow and then do the engines.

OK - added another save and finished engine production as well as changing the airframe build.

Airframes complete

I think this is almost complete apart from some small stuff... any other suggestions before I wipe my hands of this ?

A fair amount of work went into this doc, so can I have some of you to look at it and think about errors, changes and additions.

Thanks

Hi

A quick tracker question.

For example - if i accellerate a ship and save the game BUT do NOT end the term - should the ship show up as 'accelerated' in Tracker, or should it still say 'Normal' because the turn hasn't run.  (I seem to be getting the former i.e. no immediate change to tracker)

Should definitely show up as accelerated. Sure you're loading the right turn ?

Otherwise - I'll PM my email and you can send me the turn.

Another quick question

In the Engines section there is a column headed PI Factory Use (R&D) - what does this stand for?

And

The figures shown for the HA 35 are 514(91) - what do these numbers represent and why do i have a figure in brackets (R&D?) when its an engine thats being produced not researched


Apologies if i am asking the obvious here but its all pretty new to me

Maybe a quick read of this will help ... The R&D means for airframes that are not yet producing ... Look to the bottom of this page.

Actually, I usually use the Engine Planning popup more these days [;)]

Thatwill be good news for me when i sort out what i hvae done wrong as planning was impossible before.

My properties file looks like this:-

Dir=[C:\Matrix Games\WITP_AE_MODS] I am running a babes lite mod
GameType=[0]
Side=[0]
Password=[abc123]
SaveFile=[wpae005.pws]
SaveMode=[0]
Header=[wpae005]
TurnCycle=[1]

and i have the wpae005.pws file in the same directory

And you deleted the DB before you read the turn (if you had a previous one loaded), and the savefile is definitely the one ?

I'll PM my email addy.

For the benefit of any other dumbasses out there like me - don't forget this bit!!!!!
