Another tiny problemo -- and in the official patch

You has a bug in the 'official version'...but not a big one.

To go by my experiences over the last hour, carrier aircraft cannot begin a scenario aboard carriers.

In the editor, if I put the 'Fleet' unit of the FAA on the Mediterranean Fleet's carrier, and then attempt to bring up the formation report, OPART crashes. At any rate, taking the 'Fleet' air unit off the carrier and moving it to land stops the crash.

Interestingly, I can still base aircraft on land carriers. Further investigations are called for, but I've just spent an hour crashing the program and trying something else. Time for a break...

Works fine with me... (see screenshot). Doesn't even crash when I place Me-109 on my Graf Zeppelin Carrier. Used both the regular TOAW scenario editor and Anthony's TOAW Edit (Beta) and I can assign and place naval units on my carrier. Game doens't crash at all. Attacked Polish airflieds, used interdiction, combat support, air superiority. The squadron started the game ON the carrier.

Interesting.  Do aircraft start the scenario aboard the carrier and at sea?  If so, how does the program feel about things if you go into the editor and bring up the formation listing in the deployment editor?

Yes, the Marineflieger start on top of the carrier. No crash using Anthony's ScenEdit(Beta) and the games' ScenEdit... Drop me a line if you'd like the 'modified' Kolberg'45 test scenario.

Nah, it just means that whatever the problem is, it's not general. That is to say, there's no particular reason to think there's a bug after all.
