Hey Guys

I've had a discussion with Florida Sailor about this lag problem that seems to crop up in FOTRS every once in awhile. He says he knows what is happening. According to FS, what happens is when ships begin to spawn for a particular group that the spawning keeps looping adding more ships than the game engine can cope with, hence the bad game lag that occurs. I'm surprised that none of you have run across it before. The problem seems to crop up more in the latter war years like '44 and '45. Although I did have it happen to me off the Gulf Of Thailand (Siam in the war) early in '42. As you're testing things for the parts of the game, please keep an eye open for this (you can hardly miss it). I've talked with RR and he wants to see if it can be solved and rectified without having to go to Plan B. Yes, there is a Plan B in the works.

Tis particular problem is one I've encountered many times over the years when playing v1.3 of FOTRS. Hopefully it's something that we can fix.
