[Singollo]

Have you encountered an instance in which the Range Check error was unavoidable...i.e., when you reloaded it automatically happened again, each and every time? I've never seen that, which is why it hasn't exactly been catastrophic for my games. I've seen some of your other Posts about the error, though (concerning vessels with large super-large tonnage, etc.), and it does seem as though it can potentially ruin a game.

Thanks for the welcome all. I've been lurking for a while now, and although I don't wish to usurp the tone of this thread, I would like to say that the quality and helpfulness of the advice dispensed on this forum is top-notch. I've gained and learned a lot just by logging in and looking around a little, and as far as I've seen, the flaming here is kept to a minimum (which is rare, in my experience). Kudos to everyone! When I work up the nerve, I'll post a question thread of my own...
