winSPMBT V11.01 upgrade for 2017 - Page 6

You ask that question because you only think you understand the game. This is newbie 101

The limit the numbers the game can use is 255 but 1 indicates a vehicle or aircraft can carry a gun..... a 2 indicated it can carry A VEHICLE and if an aircraft can carry a vehicle it is limited to 55 "passengers"..... the Atlas was set up the way it is so it can carry the larger paratroop load and the hercs can carry any vehicles that are applicable otherwise we would have had two aircraft with the same 255 capacity

OK?

You lost me, sorry. In reality a Atlas can carry a lot more than a Hercules. odd, but does not worry me since if I'm doing a para scenario it does not include the drop, certainly not in MBT or, for me, in WWII either. I really think the maps in this game after the update are 100% better than ever.

OK enlighten me..... at what point did I lose you? The Herc is set up to carry vehicles so get a '2' to start and that only leave '55'before you hit the game limit. The Atlas may be able to carry more than the Herc but the Herc been in the OOB since 1967 set up as 255. When we added the Atlas it was decided since it's bigger it should carry guns and men up to 99 and why it's 199.....99 men is the limit any aircraft or barge can carry in the game because 1xx means it carries guns and 2xx means it carries vehicles and if it carries vehicles it can only carry 55 men because 255 is the highest number allowed in that data field

A very minor niggle: in the game guide the image for NLOS targetting (NLOS%20targetting.png) doesn't show / load.

THIS ONE

DRG · #6 March 4th, 2017, 10:22 AM

OK I'll look into that today

DRG · #7 March 4th, 2017, 10:29 AM

Well this seems to be the release of many mysteries.

The working copy of the game I am using now was built from the new full CD version of the game and I can see that graphic in both the working copy of the game AND the master "virgin" copy of the game

CAN SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE CHECK THEIR winSPMBT GAME GUIDE AND TELL ME IF IT'S MISSING FOR THEM AS WELL. it's the second last entry in the guide in the CD only section at the end

If I understand the issue most recent above, I have and see the following...
UNDER "NEW EXTENDED GAME (CD) ONLY FEATURES 2016" last item before same for 2017 the following..."TARGETING WITH NLOS WEAPONS"
between explanation para and last topic sentence this graphic...

. If this is what's being asked.

While I'm here reloaded previous patches to both games. The number letter thing confused me. No issues there. However, when I went to download the newest Patch for both games I did receive a "download warning" from Win 10 security protocol concerning the site. It might not be clear but, you can manually by pass this and proceed to download it buy clicking on the banner. I had no apparent issues at that point, however, again though that message didn't come up for either game when down loading the previous patch's.

Likely is nothing but that was my experience running Win 10 fully updated version.

Gotta go!

Was curious about terrain, opened my next campaign battle France vs. Russia 2015 in deploy phase. OMG the colors more vivid, I had great trees, plowed fields all the new stuff-awesome-I love good eye candy!! Great Job guys!!!

Regards,
Pat

Attachment 14636. If this is what's being asked.

Yes, you confirmed it's in your game... if others can to it's just scorpio that's missing the graphic

HORRAY..FINALLY positive feedback without a "BUT" tacked on

Grant1pa · #10 March 4th, 2017, 02:41 PM

No BUT's....

Lovely, purely lovely. I went into the map editor today and truly appreciate the new additions. I'm still learning to use it...

BUTT...

(No, not a BUT, but a BUTT, and that "Butt" would be me!), I have to remember to read the "how" before I "do". I wiped a map in progress with the new right click fill feature and it was all my fault! Learned something the hard way.

However, the new additions are great. Looking forward to overcoming my ignorance and producing some new scenarios. Thanks DRG! Appreciate your hard effort.
