Changes from B1115.8.1
-------------------------------------

* Improved speed of loading map tiles for each layer (this addresses the "slow map refresh" issue)
* New game option: Configurable volume for music & sound effects (Game --> Game Options --> Sound)
* Mission Editor window enhancement: Clicking on the assigned & unassigned units selects them and centers the map on them. . This makes it easier to check the general status of a mission ("Where are right now the forces I've tasked for this job? Where are the units that I might be interested to add to this task if they are close enough?") without having to jump to the ORBAT window.
* Tacview: Force terrain mode to "full 3D" (ie. incl. underwater)
* Added more tweaks to Tacview appearance (hide flight & lift vector, height bars & labels)
* Map tweak: Show the flight plans of airborne flights
* Numerous sim-core performance tweaks
* The main map window now always starts in windowed mode (even if it was last used in full-screen)
* Replaced color "Red" with "Indian Red" in various forms to stand out more clearly against dark background (example: https://i.imgur.com/8xM60vF.png)
* Map tweak: Made the "Selected: [....]" text font slightly smaller
* UI tweak: Include the DB version name in the "You have (explicitly or implicitly) attempted to load a database that does not exist on the DB folder" message
* ADDED: #13415: Make the location details available through Lua
* Includes updated version of "King Of The Border" which fixes UI lag issues
* All sound effects have their default volume altered to match the soundtrack.
* Includes new Tacview 3D models for the J-35 Draken, JA-37 Viggen & JAS-39 Gripen, F-105 Thunderchief, A-29 Super Tucano, Wildcat, MQ-8 Fire Scout, MQ-4 Global Hawk, SS-N-26 ASCM, Spruance & OH Perry classes and their variants, Virginia-class SSN, Vanguard-class SSBN, DDH280 Iroquois-class, City/Town/Village Marker.
* Includes updated versions of the remastered standalone scenarios: Added gameplay notes for scenarios that have special features, fixed scripts not firing in "Green Tide", fixed dev prompts appearing on first run of "North Pacific Shootout", fixed SAR action in "Brother Against Brother".

* FIXED: Casting error when displaying error message during startup
* FIXED: Airgroup wingmen not always following's lead's desired altitude
* FIXED: Error during writing-out of the message log can leave the scenario graph in a dirty state
* Fix for altitude issues with strike mission (Caused other issues)
* FIXED: Units usually not evaluating targets (and thus not auto-engaging contacts)
* FIXED: Airgroup wingmen not following lead's desired altitude during overwater flight
* FIXED: Hang on startup in high-DPI systems

* FIXED: On strike egress leg, wingmen were not sticking to their formation station (pulling ahead or behind)
* FIXED: Layout glitches in "Tanker Planner" window
* FIXED: Wire-guided torpedoes attempting to retarget while still having a plotted course
* FIXED: Weapon "Attempt retargeting: XXX" indicator drawn in wrong vertical offset from icon

Thanks for the fixes good stuff, just one question, has the sub bug been fixed, the one that resets the manually set speed when a new plot has been set....

Thanks

Thanks

Not yet, we had to take care of other things first.

[Lowlaner2012]

Cool, thanks for the reply and fixes 😀

[magi]

Just wonderful.... thank you....
I noticed immediate difference in improvement When loading and starting… Much better guys…
I still think you can reduce the date and time stamp of the scenario by half though .... it’s really pretty darn big ......

[giantsquid]

Awesome, you already did all those improvements!
Congratulations

Francesco

[konstpan]

Note on new Lua method:

print(World_GetLocation({latitude='51.5052833557129', longitude='-2.27636313438416'}))
{ layer = { ceiling = -4, floor = -8, strength = 0.409999996423721 }, altitude = -17 }
{ altitude = 128, slope = 0, cover = { text = 'Land: Croplands ', value = 'Croplands' } }

I have manually applied this update to my Steam version appears to be working

Thank you!

I keep trying to post a screen and Matrix keeps giving me reasons why I can't. I notice with the new patch the Unit Status drop-down appears more towards the middle of the map. It doesn't move or minimize but it does go to the correct place (far right side of screen) if I minimize the game. So that's a little odd.

I agree I am having this problem also… And I’ve seen posts on the Facebook page that is also made comment on this ...

[Rob322]

Like I said, it would go away if I minimized but I shouldn’t have to do that.

I also haven’t noticed much of a speed increase for the different maps loading.

This solves the problem for me:
Right click on the shortcut > "Properties". Pick "Run: Maximized".
Now unit status panel will stick to the rightmost even after I choose fullscreen.

Problem for me is the scenario will always launch windowed. It won't stay fullscreen after I quit and start a scenario again. I check "\Config\Command.ini" and it says "StartFullScreen = True".

This definitely isn't normal.

Just out of interest what is the current version for the Non Beta version of CMO ?
