ANW-3.7, Playing Iranian WMD w/ DB 2000-6-5-31

Aircraft recently launched from opponent land base is at 2110m altitude acording to the "Contact Status" box but the data box next to the icon shows altitude = "peri".

Saved game available.

Contact info:
Launch from: Shiraz-AB-59
Current Location: LAT 29.42, Lon 53.19

BTW: saw the fix for the nav problem.
Keep up the good work on the patch.[8D][:)]

You sure like to take BIG images, eh?  [:)]

In consolation, I concur.  I have seen the same phenomenon; Aircraft Icons depicting periscope depth.  I didn't notice that they had any adverse effect on the game, though.

Hi guys,

The altitude bands were changed in 3.7, IIRC. As a result some units in scenes built with the 3.6.3 SceneEditor may display weird altitudes as the GE tries to match up the old bands with the new. Same applies to sub depths.

To my knowledge, it is a hit or miss thing, and seems to only show up in the data block. The Unit Status report should be correct.

Kinda thought it might be something like that, I can live with it[:)]
