4.2.74 JTLS-1017 Airlift Mission Problem
An airlift mission was created to pick up a NEO icon. The mission did not have the lift capacity to lift
the entire icon, so a second mission was created to pick up the same icon. The second mission went
into unit delay when it arrived at the pickup location. The first mission picked up then dropped off the
first load, then returned for the second load. The second mission should not have gone into unit delay
status.
4.2.75 JTLS-1090 GIAC Fields Allow Spaces
Most GIAC fields are forbidden from having spaces in them. There are a few text fields that do have
spaces, generally free format read fields. It is possible to cut text with spaces from one of these fields
and place it in a field that does not permit spaces. The resulting order, if sent, is not recognized by the
CEP and is rejected. An example of this is the Controller Kill Aircraft order which contains a
REFERENCE field that should not have blank spaces and a REASON field that is permitted blank
spaces. Cutting and pasting from the REASON field to the REFERENCE field will allow the
introduction of blanks into the REFERENCE field.
4.2.76 JTLS-1258 RECCE Mission Heading Off The Board
When a Player submitted a Change Mission Parameter for a RECCE Mission, and clicked the new or
add on route button, but did not send a new or add on route or location, the Mission headed for
Latitude/longitude 0.00, 0.00. The problem was caused by the Player error. Correcting the error
requires changing the structure of the order, because the New-Add-on Flag is used for either a new
search location or a new search route. A new flag will probably need to be added.
4.2.77 JTLS-1260 EMCON Order Problem Subordinates of Embarked Units
If the primary Unit specified on an EMCON order is embarked on a ship, the CEP rejects the order,
even if the order is supposed to apply to subordinates as well. A possible solution is to take the UNIT
CHECKS off the order itself, and put them in the code that turns the emitter on and off. The only time
that the order should be denied is for a unit that has been wiped out, and it has no subordinates, and is
not in anyone’s UT SUBORD SET. If this is done a possible problem is having the IMT show the
sensor/jammer turned on while the unit is still not arrived, or is embarked on a formation. There
appears to be no problem inside the CEP, but the IMT bit is the reason that it has not been fixed. The
players have a work-around—Magic Move the unit ashore, send the order, and then MM back onto
the formation.
4.2.78 JTLS-1328 SAM/AAA Initial Issue
Currently, when a SAM/AAA target comes into the game, either at game start, TPFDD arrival after
game start, or target create; the owning unit or associated unit sends the initial issue of ammo to the
target site by an implicit resupply action. This implicit resupply convoy requires time to dispatch,
time to travel, and time to receive. In Standard Database this means it is 2.5 to 3.5 hours after a SAM/
