SCR-270 Radar not building

Post by byron13 »

I am running WitP 1.8.1126b from September 17, 2016. Started and played many games with this version and am happy. In the past couple of days, though, I've started several solo games (vs AI) using both December 7 and December 8 full campaign scenarios, and in none of them have the SCR-270 Radar or SCR-270 AS Radar started building. I've run the scenarios for a good while, in some instances in excess of 30 days, taggled stockpiling, and none built. The British radar (Chain hi/low/whatever and the GLD whatever other one) both built at the appropriate rate and add to the pool, and all (including SCR-270) should be available at beginning of game. I notice when I go into the "Industry/Troops/Resource Pool" screen, at the top there is a clickable filter that defaults to "with/without pools." This isn't described in the manual (I don't think), but when I cycle it to "not building," it does list the SCR-270 radar. I have never played the Japanese player, so have no experience with the production system, but my understanding is that the Allied production is pretty much on auto-pilot with maybe some modification in air R&D possible or keeping old lines open. In other words, I'm not aware of a setting somewhere that, if set incorrectly, prevents American radar from not being produced. And it's not a stockpiling issue; they simply aren't being built; zeroes across the line.

I have had instances in which PBYs mysteriously won't get built and, after looking around, see that, somehow, the production was turned off. Pretty sure I didn't do that, but maybe it is a zero occasionally converting to a one. But, as I say, my understanding is that there is no such setting for stuff like radar.

Is this just a corrupted data point that would require a reload, or is there some setting that is wrong? Kind of a bummer to fight all of World War II with no radar at your airfields. Maybe if I dock a picket DD in port . . .
