Cage,

Thanks for your input. However, that's not so in my case. The WWI maps work in my DBW 1916 install. In fact, for a test mission, I used the WWI English Channel Map and the USS Langley. So my problem is just that the ships are now invisible when I run a DBW mission, for example, one with cargo ships and fishing vessels on the Solomons Oct '43 Map.

Before deleting the Iowa from my install, I created a mission on the Caroline Island Map that included BB-61 in a convoy with a cruiser and a destroyer. I flew a plane from the island to 'buzz' the convoy, but only BB-61 showed up.

There's something wrong with my DBW install. Does installing the Iowa change some files outside of the DBW directory? What could cause all the ships to disappear? If there a conflict between the Iowa and something else, why would removing the Iowa not fix the problem I am having?

Cheers,

Riptide

If some ships do not appear then there will be an error message saved in your logfile.

Do the ships appear ok in FMB but not when you run the mission, or do they not appear at all?

Post the last part of the logfile if there is reference to the missing ships in it.

asheshouse,

I found the problem that stopped ships from showing up during missions. I changed some values in Ships.ini to make it possible to sink cargo ships using guns only. It seems that the numbers I used caused my problem. When I reverted back to the original figures, the ships became visible again during missions ... and the cargo ships were as durable as ever when strafed.

In answer to your question, the ships did appear in FMB. While this problem was in effect, I also noticed that I could put a carrier in a mission in FMB, but I could not set it as a takeoff and landing target for a plane.

Thanks for your comments.

Cheers,

Riptide

***EDIT, for those that also use Yamato***
I accidentally included a past Yamato class with the class files for v1
After installing apply this class fix (just copy contents of the folder to the folder with same name in Mods(#UP#,#SAS#,#DBW#)

Why Don't you fix it and redo the download............... lots of people don't know how to do this....

[Diving_Hawk]

Fair point.
Just give me one moment

-->main link fixed.

I put it in my HSFX install and it seems to work just fine, I have it steaming with a US Carrier, against a Japanese Carrier and Yamato about two map grids away from each other.  No hits scored on anything.  I put in scouts thinking it would improve accuracy, no change was noted.  But the scouts don't last long.............lol

How far are each of the numbered map grids, 10km or 20km?.......... 10sqkm..... 20sqkm?

[Diving_Hawk]

Depends on the map really.
Anything from 8.7km to 10km per grid real distance ( not all maps are 1 grid = 10km)

2 grids is about 18-20km.

But I can't do anything about accuracy. Wait till a hit is scored from these guns then tgt will be toast anyway.

Could you please upload it somewhere else? Can't download from the packload,don't know why
