It was "hiccuping" quite frequently too, like I was gonna see me some airplanes in just a bit... - I do have to get me back to the lah-bore-uh-tore-ee and do me some further "testing" and make certain my data is valid... ahem.
Truk has been a mess. I think that's why the stock game never got into putting ships actually in the harbor, least none that moved. Docked ships I think are Ok. I'd have to open up the stock .mis files again, but as I remember the stock ships never entered the harbor. They spawned outside of the reefs (either coming or going), and were never put inside. The reason, the games terrain model made the water too shallow to operate in. Guys looked at Truk and said, "that's not right, lets add some ships in there"! Its been trouble ever since.
