Unusual Problems

[skip]

Persistence pays. Not elegant, but found a workaround. If I select entrance/egress arrows from the Bombard screen, they work. Then I switch to the Spotter screen to mark the hover point. This seems to take the UAV on and off map generally where I plotted; I assume it's not supposed to be exact.

After getting home from work and looking at your screenshot vs. my view, the difference is my jump map is much smaller and doesn't reach all the buttons. (This has been a long-standing problem, but I digress.) The map is flush top right corner of the button layout, not extending to the lower right-hand or to any of the left-hand arrow buttons. I'd attach a screenshot, but it comes up as sort of a photo-negative with hardly any details.

Really appreciate the efforts of both of you on this.

cheers

Screen shots are simple. See the manual, "introduction" section, "tuning your machine" where you will find the following paragraph:

There is no need of any external screen capture mode when using Windowed Mode. The normal Windows ALT-PRINTSCREEN will copy the window to the Windows paste buffer. Simply open up a normal paint programme (such as the supplied Microsoft utility) and select paste

I reccoment Irfanview as it is a useful image editing and viewing programme (and it knows about LBM - will read but not save those) - as it allows saving as JPEG or, better still - PNG. Opem in windowed mode, ALT-PRINT SCRN, open Irfanview select paste, nd save as a JPEG or PNG with your choice of file name. www.irfanview.com as I recall.


Now - you mention spotters. Naturally, I had tested normal air strikes because you stated " I cannot select entry/exit edges for aircraft missions". Spotters are a different sub-screen of the bombard screen, with a different button to get to them !

I'll test again with spotters - that sub screen may be goosed. But that will need to wait till post Xmas.
