The old and new map forms of the UAW140 exe version 90 are available in a 7-zip "V90.exe" from the OneDrive page. Run it in your EAW140 folder and it will put the two new exes in the "EAW Versions" folder Why V90? A result of working to get Moggy's multi-TMod carriers running in convoys was the discovery of two bugs. One was almost trivial. I had noticed it previously, when it looked as though an extra ship had spawned in a convoy. The other was more serious. I had set the three US carriers in a convoy, but I only ever saw one. I assumed wrongly that the error was in the files I had created to make the convoy. However, this morning I tested the exe on some different convoys that I new had worked well in the past, and the problem remained. Somehow a source code file had been corrupted, but without generating an error. Replacing the file fixed the problem. At the same time I was able to find what was causing an extra ship to spawn, so I fixed that. Here are the three US carriers off the East Anglian coast: This confirms that the code is working as it should Jel

Moggy.
When Wuddy wanted to code the engine start/smoke/dust, some how, and after loads of failures, he got the effect of prop wash, which made the effect go backwards from the plane. Try any take off and you will see the effect.
Now, the effect of smoke going backwards is not there, but the basic idea is. All it needs is a bit of thought to adapt Wuddy's code.
BTW. Did you document the standing smoke effect? Factories and Power Stations were something we have tried for years, to add smoke to, but we had always been told, no movement = no smoke.

Hi Moggy,
Impressive! I am not too bothered about smoke from ships, but this business with the Japanese carriers crossed my mind, given the unusual location of the funnels. I am happy to let you brainy chaps do whatever you think appropriate. From what Ray said there does seem to be the question of carriers being targets on the one hand, and having planes taking off and landing on the other, so perhaps smoke is not worth bothering with, but it does add to the visual impact.
