Best regards, Major H. tacops@mac.com Below are the changes that have been made to the TacOps4 program since v403_FE. - - - - v405AF * Bug fix. If OPFOR was allowed to have thermal sights and if an OPFOR unit was added (via an options menu item) to game play after turn one it would intermittently not actually receive thermal sights unless and until the player visited the preferences settings window or unless and until the game engine visited the preferences settings internally (which happens automatically during many scenario editing and network activities)- even though the info window might show that unit to have thermal sights. This bug would only appear if OPFOR units were added to game play after turn on and only then if the preferences settings were never visited thereafter either intentionally by the player or coincidentally by the game engine. * Bug fix. The engineering object design windows used in creating minefields, entrenchments, obstacles, bridges, and landing zones were misleading in that the "location known to" check boxes wrongly appeared to suggest that one of these objects could be created so that its location was not known to the force color that built it. The location of these objects is in fact always known to the force color that built them. The "location known to" check box that matches the building force color is now disabled so that it can not be unchecked.
