Greetings all

I am creating a new scenario starting in 1944 and during the testing
(first turn) I got these two (dreaded) messages.

I read some threads about these "issues", is there a way (in a beta update for example) to solve these?

Also, I am well aware having read previous threads about the 'out of pilot slots' thing but what about the 'out of planes' one please?

Does it mean that the code only allows a certain defined number of planes and that the scenario I created exceeded this fixed limit and if the answer is yes (like I suppose it would) then what is that limit?

By the way, the aim of my scenario was to re-created the strategic situation in late 1944 hence the huge number of pilots and planes on both sides.


Thank you a lot for your answers.

There is special AE exe-file, MP (= more pilots) that adds more pilot slots.

well I missed that one, thanks a lot.

But about the 'out of planes' one? I haven't been able to find a thread about that, may you be able to help me on this one too please?

As the scenario was for me and my friend trying to re-create the situation prior to the start of the Shō-Gō 1 plan.

Maximum number of planes is defined by Air Groups in Scenario. There is probably limit, but nobody even thought, that it would be reached [:)]

You should run out of pilot slots long before maximum planes number would be reached. Remember, that pilot number is for ALL NAMED pilots on both sides, including reserves (and most KIA, MIA and WIA, so they do not free slot, once they are out of action)

You will also get the 'Out of Pilot Slots' message if you have no trained pilots in your reserves/pools. I've actually had this happen to me with the IJN pilot pool.
