simulating fleet strategies

[Rusty_Nail]

It is some time since I have played SEIV. I returned recently, trying SEIV gold, but have run into the same problem I had before as described in the copied exchange below a few months ago. Suicide-Junkie answered that time. But it just does not work for me (opening and closing the "fleets for player" menu, neither in Gold nor in the 1.49 Version. My question: can anyone confirm whether Suicide-Junkie's procedure works for them, and if so, if there is some other factor that may be preventing it working for me? This is very frustrating for me, as I consider this simulation quite important for the way I analyze combat stategies. Any help would be appreciated.

For some reason I have never been able to put my ships into fleets in the simulator. I open the window, click "create fleet", type in a name, but then when I try to add ships to it by clicking on the ships, the fleet disappears from the right-hand-side window. Can somebody confirm that this is a bug?
suicide_junkie replied:

Yes, it is a bug, but the solution is quite simple (and I've mentioned it three or four times now in old threads)
Open the "fleets for player" menu, then close it, then open it a second time.

Everything should work now.
If you close the simulator, you will have to do it again.
