Have to agree with Swat: your attention for detail looks insane. Man, you need for a leave! :D

Out of curiosity: have you managed to "move" KMO on piers?

No - I have not looked at it again.

I have finished the environment layer and am now half way through the airbase. Had to make new airbases for this to follow as close as I can the planes used. I am using your great MonsCampData.xls :up:

Hope to also finish today the harbour layer with all the buoys, mines and nets

Wait...
in the last posted version of MonsCampData.xls I have managed to mess somehow the order of operated aircraft. It had to happen when I sorted bases and squadrons, as I forgot to include the aircraft column in the sorting process. :88)

Here's a link to an updated version of the spreadsheet, with correct aircraft-squadron matches. It includes also RAAF Airfields and Squadrons: :smug:

By the way of matching airplanes, guess what?
I've discovered that AOTD_RDA contains the PBY5 Catalina:

http://www.aotd-flottille.de/Maddy/R...1/Catalina.jpg

It is contained in the AS_USFloatEarlyWar folder of the mod (path: data\Air).
Provided that it doesn't affect too much the performance of the game, I think it would be worth to include this single airplane in MC. With the permission of our German friends, of course!

Airbases map update, including Australian bases.

Many airfields in North-Eastern Australia, only one on the South-Western coast... :06:
I will inquire with Sober the rationale beneath it, but in the meanwhile it seems we got a good hunting spot :O:

Thanks gap - I will update:yeah:

I've discovered that AOTD_RDA contains the PBY5 Catalina:
As the Catalina was the main plane used for anti-uboat in the Indian Ocean (esp Ceylon), I have set the airbases to use them more than any other.

Here is the plane I am using currently:hmmm:
Code:


; Stand in for Catalina
[Unit]
ClassName=SUSFloatEarlyWar
3DModelFileName=data/Air/AS_USFloatEarlyWar/FloatingPlane
UnitType=304
MaxSpeed=169
MinSpeed=60
MaxRadius=1600
Length=19.5
Width=31.7
RenownAwarded=40
CrewComplement=8
SurvivalRate=60
SurvivalPercentage=70
 
[Loadout 1]
Name=1xDepth Charge
Type=5

what aircraft is that? :hmmm:
In MC we should have 2 types of flying boats: the Short Sunderland, and the Caonsolidated PBY Catalina.
As Short Sunderland is already modelled in stock game, we need to include in OH II only the Catalina. If you agree, and with the mermission of its creators, I would use the one from AOTD_RDA. As far as I can see it looks pretty similar to the real thing... much more than the one represented in your screenshot :DL

These settings look okay, except for the loadout, I think.
Anyway, in case you didn't notice it, I have included basic plane's specs in the last page of my spreadsheet. Lenght and width not included, but it is easy to get them from wikipedia, or from any other website :03:

Trevally, the vast majority of Catalinas used by both the United States and the Commonwealth countries were of the PBY-4 variety as shown here.............

http://img.phombo.com/img1/photocomb...-7_display.jpg

While they may, indeed, have existed, I don't recall ever seeing a Catalina with three engines and that very different empanage structure or wing strut arrangement as shown in post #1163.

Since Catalinas were frequently used all over the various Atlantic Campaigns as well as the Indian Ocean and the Pacific maybe we can place them in the Alantic Campaigns as well.

Keep up the great work!!!!

:salute: Hi

It may be here that I must request to put in its place Dunkirk (in France not in Belgium) :06:

THE_MASK 05-05-12 07:10 PM

There would be no major bases north of perth (capital of western australia) because of distances, logistics , terrain , weather (cyclones,hurricanes) etc .

Hi! I don't wanna digress from the main discussion that's currently happening but I have a few questions. :)

Does sending contact reports with convoys/task forces in visual range have any outcome pre Wolfpack campaign? I followed a 20 ship convoy for almost 2 days east-southeast from eastern coast of england with no other u-boats arriving.

Thanks! Sorry for the side step. Love this mod! Keep up the fantastic work Trevally!

EDIT: date is Jan 20 1940 :)

Hi BigReg:salute:

I am happy to report the Dunkirk is now back in France where it belongs:D
It was always set as a French base - only the political map did not cover it:up:
