ATF: Help with Importing Databases

[Gary Bezant]

You need to set up an FDC with the ability to control mortars. Without the FDC indirect fire weapons can not fire. To make a unit an FDC you need to do the following.

1 Either create a new unit or edit an existing one.

2 In the SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES window of the VEHICLE DATA sheet click on ADD and select FIRE DIRECTION CENTRE.

3 You will then see a window called METHOD OF FIRE

4 If the FDC is a mortar only FDC click on YES.

5 If the FDC is both Mortar and Arty capable click on CANCEL.

6 Add the FDC to the Pl orbat.


Hope this helps.

Ed,

I worked on the Dragon team for the first six months I was here at NTC, support the Tarantulas. I fought that same fight about six times, in live fire. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

BTW, the disk is in the mail.

Thanks I'll give it a shot.

Pat,

Thanks. I'll let you know when it arrives.
Lat time I wa at NTC was in either 94 or 95 with 1 BCT 2AD/4ID. Not sure if we had been reflagged from 2AD to 4 ID. I was the S2 NCOIC for 3-41 Inf 2AD, or 1-22 Inf 4ID. Thought I did good. I was a SSG, 11H302S (TOW) with Battle Staff ASI; filling a MSG 11M40 slot.

Not sure if its me or the program. But here's whats happening to me. Any time while I'm in the Hierichy view, and I click on to add a platton or company I get two rows of flags and units. It also is occuring when I try to change the flags in the first or second slot.

Anyone has any idea why?

Ed,

It's a small world. I was across Ft Hood Rd at 1 BCT, 1st CAV (2-8 CAV and 1-82 FA).

Pat,

What years were you there. We may have crossed paths. I was there Nov 76-Nov 79, and Sep 93- 31 Jul 96 (retirement day!!)

Change of topic.

1. Any idea why when I'm in the hierichy view and try to change the flag of a unit the view menu creates a duel image of icons.

2. update on my MOD. My US OOB is down, less flags. Getting ready to work up the OPORDER and then attempt to tweek the OPFOR mission, etc. I'm using the Death Valley Attack to work off of. Sicne this was the battle I was talking about.

I was there from FEB95 - JUN98. I won't tell you where I was from 76 -79. It will make you feel old

On 1., could you attach a screenshot to show me what you are talking about (just hit print screen, open paint, hit paste, and save.

I'm looking forward to the scenario!
