Mission was built and hosted ok without any messages.

Sorry to Axis forces for their loss.
War is hell!

21 missions in progress were removed after analysis.

I'll post the number of those for each mission as sometime it may explain more as to why units ended up where they did.

Cheers,

Nice job Pete. It was on the cards, looking at time of day & weather I'm interested to know if there was much of a reduction in defensive AAA from ships compared to your previous attacks?

Thank for that.
I was pleased with myself for actually finding them first up as I was relying on dead reckoning to find them and they popped up right in front. The flak was still pretty heavy and I saw some large rounds go right past the cockpit which is exactly what killed me last time. I think it was probably the gap between ships that gave just enough room to manouver on the way in that saved me. I did loose my right engine and it had to be shut down before bursting into flames. So I would say at that time it was still daylight enough and flak was still hitting me pretty good but lesser in such a way as I came out the other side alive (just).

I had to think hard about the spacing between ships, its a toss up between possibly better protection with them closer to each other against them destroying each other with friendly fire. It was the best protection I could afford that transport within the confines of 20 ship moves.

Just saw this Ikey. I copied the DB back in the early hours as I have upgraded my server to Win 7 64 and its got the same problem Edit: more like a lot of problems (still in progress). Just going through the tables now and hopefully will be sorted soon.

Looks like its fixed ok now. Maybe something to do with one of the Pilot tables as I checked the map from time to time and it all came good after going through the Pilot data tables.

Planning should all be good now. Sorry I didn't see problem earlier.

I looked at it an hour before you posted & yes it was still u/s. Thanks for sorting it out but unfortunately I've run out of time now & back on shifts tomorrow so I cant get to the planner till Sunday night.

To save posting on Pelican forum I have coords for Lvov radar tower, maybe check with Warg if he's happy with this position.
158300, 130950

Hope you're getting better, if not I'd suggest eating raw garlic & onions washed down with Royal Navy Rum.
