75. Interface Improvement: Added Show all patrol zones for player.

i cant see them on the map when i click on my patrol planes after ive set up a patrol zone.......why?

The search Arcs....thats what i was looking for....cant see em

For serach arcs press z

[Z] Display the Control Zone Map...tried that...doesnt work

First you have to ensure you have the planes searching "x" number of hexes. Also you have to ensure you have ready aircraft. I have made both of those mistakes.

checked both of those...they are good...the Z key is doin nothing...btw am all patched up..forgot to mention that

omg....found my problem...there are 2 Executable files in my folder...the other one i tried works for arcs..the first one i was using didnt

i read in some other posts that searches may be bugged?....still true?

Public beta 1108c is supposed to fix the problem.

I believe it was fixed in the latest beta patch. Make sure you are running the beta executable, found in the "beta" sub-folder and not the regular execuatable. This was done, as the latest patch came out during the holidays when Matrix staff were away and so is being distributed via the forums, while testing continues. I imagine, when the patch becomes 'officially' available from the matrix website, it will no longer use the beta executable.

Where can i find this?

The latest beta is here

Either use the desktop shortcut, created when installing the beta patch, or look in "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta" for the beta executable.

Gotit..thxs...last question for this evening..lol...do i have to restart my game...playing the Guadacanal scn..only 2 turns into it

No, you don't have to restart.

thxs all.....

the "Z" key has been working since minimum the release 4/2010. Perhaps the version of the executable is not the issue.

I pointed out around that time that if you leave the arcs on and run the turn (warning this will slow the computer down but if you have the horsepower you can see it) the arcs will reduce and change. I assume this was related to the bug that is not yet fixed?

Have a read of this thread for more info (including pics) of these functions.....
