MB: What Exactly does, "Evolve from entry date" me

[Charlie901]

Also what does:

Contact automatic Report (Min) -1 Probability (%) 100

Mean?

I'm trying to work with the MB and am scratching my head here.

Thanks......

"evolve from entry day" means, that the ship only spawns with the entry date you have selected. When unchecked, it will spwan whenever you come in the spawn-radius.
For example

entry date is 10-5-1941 at 9 PM in BE46, bearing northeast to ireland.

you reach the spawn-radius on 12-5-1941 at 5 PM

when unchecked, the ship will spawn at the selected starting position.
When checked, it will spawn at that point, the ship would have reached, when starting on 10-5-1941 at 9 PM - but only when you are in the radius of the course.
(I think so)

"Contact automtatic report" means the range from your position when a radio report apperas on the map. For example, with the entry 7200, you wil get the radio report 7200 km away. probability means the propability of the spawning of the ship.

'evolve from entry date' meens that the position of a ship on its waypoints will evolve from the start of the games time line which is '38 or so. Basially it moves it to where it should be at the time you start either a campaign or single mission. It is most useful in a campaign.

Eg: You have a ship in harbour set to evolve from entry date: without setting this every time you start a campaign mission the ship will be in exactly the same place. If you switch it on then it will have moved at mission start depending on the time of day and waypoint posistions and be at another part of it's path.


The second one is just as simple:

Contact automatic Report (Min) -1 Probability (%) 100

The first number is the interval between the game checking to see if there is a contact report to be generated. I think it is in seconds so an interval of one munute between every check will be 60. The probability is self explanitory.
