Map cordinates wrong.
« on: December 16, 2016, 11:26:19 PM »
Very strange occurrence this FSO. My map had incorrect numbers for positions. IE A11 was supposed to about 12/9 or so according to my squaddies. My map had it at 6/4/4 with correlating numbers to 6/4 for the rest of the map. Needless to say trying to find where the fight is when your map does not match is not a fun thing. Really messed up my FSO tonight. Has this happened to any other people? My squad leader jumped into my bird after he was shot down and the numbers he saw were correct. Really strange. I took a photo of my display screen with my phone and I was recording the FSO so I'll see if I can get you visuals if you will assist in how to get them to you.     SDpops57

This was the solomons AH3 map? Both the CBM and strat map are BMP files so the numbers can not actually be changed by the program / code. I just took a look at the AH3 strat map and loaded solomons in a custom arena and the base A11 is at 12,9,1 on both. I just checked the strat map over on Ahevents.net and it is correctly marked there to.

Base A46 is over at 6,4,4

So was it your CBM map that was screwed up? Or a map sent to you via email?

P.S. I am the creator of that terrain.
