Default Re: Great game

In and out directions are taken as what they are currently set to when you plot the strike hex. Set those before you plot the target hex!

The entry and exit sides are a game global value, set to the default on each loading of the game from windows. If you change this then in the same game session, they will remain at the last used pair. Even if you play multiple saved scenarios. But once you exit the game to windows, when you reload they will be re-initialised to the defaults.

So - always check the first time (best any time you plot air reeally - open the in/out display screenlet) you want to plot air, to see what state the global values are currently set to. They don't follow individual save games around - they are game globals, not scenario local data. (Already plotted air strikes have the in and out and target x,y set in the scenarios local save data of course, so plotted strikes do follow any scenario saves and reloads).
