I was looking to start a campaign / career with 55 RFC. Supposedly they deployed to France on the 10th March 1917 with DH4s. WOFF campaign doesn't have them arrive in France until 10th June... seemingly that's 3 months late. A bug?

Hello Harry,
Not quite sure why that would be. The datafiles have them deploying from Swingate on 09/03, working up at Fienvillers from the next day, and their first trip over the lines on 5 April.
Can anyone confirm what Harry is seeing ?
Cheers,
shredward

Hey, Shredward, thanks for taking a look so promptly. Here's a screenie showing the issue. I'm running v 5.04.

HarryH, there is definitely something wrong with 55 RFC, and it isn't just you.

I attempted to enlist a pilot in 55 RFC on March 10, 1917 and was able to do so. However, while scrolling through the enlistment dates, I ran into a problem after May 31st. The "day" advance button does not work! You can use the "week' advance button to move from May into June, but not the day button. This bug also occurs in reverse: trying to use the "day" button to move back from June 1 to May 31st also doesn't work! Perhaps this is connected to your inability to enlist before June?

Bob, I think that’s normal. You can only progress day by day within the given month. You then have to click on the next month arrow to progress. Of course that will get you to the end of that next month, not the beginning. Very annoying, but normal. It does that for any Squadron, or Jasta, or Escadrille.

You're right. I had forgotten about that little quirk. In any event, I was able to enlist a pilot on March 10th, so maybe the problem is specific to Harry's installation.

BB I think Harry is saying he can enlist as you can, but they should be in France at that time. Why is the question if the datafile says they are in France. Shred do those airfields exist etc?

You bet. I suspect there may be a problem with the install. Just waiting to see if anyone else is seeing the same thing as Harry

I think it's the way it is for all, if I enlist 10 March 1917 they are in England still

Once again, I stand corrected. I need to brush up on my reading comprehension skills!

For what it's worth, Pol, I am still running UE and when I enlist in 55 RFC on March 10th, WOFF shows me at Flenvillers in France. The unit transfers to another location in France on June 1st.

Could this have something to do with the upgrade to PE?
