Alot of these fields weren't centered to begin with.

Here are a list of Field Groups that I have that are centered.

These fields are centered in Grid Square.

AFLrg-S
AFMed-S
AFSml-S
VFMed-S
lgfld2
medfld2
smfld
VFMed-S
StCty-S
FtAck-S
FTAmo-S
FTBar-S
FTOil-S
FTRdr-S
StHdq-S

The following are not centered in the Grid Square, they are centered to blend better with the Roads or Tracks.

cdepot
fldcap1
station1

Get all these Field Groups from http://accesswave.ca/~tscott/AH-stuff/AH-Editor&Stuff/ObjectGroups/CenteredFields.zip

NOTE! When placing Field Groups you must make sure that the "SNAP BOX" is checked and that the "SNAP SPACING" is at 2640. Then click your mouse "RED CROSS" into the center of the grid box and add your Field Group.

thanks again. now can center fields. and all that mayhem is out of way. have billions of questions though...lol but for now will try to reread the hep. i am working on a Port now. trying to get ship attached to a port..lol that is only other thing i couldnt figure out or miss reading it. but then i nevever tried settings yet.. so that is another thing to face. i see though there is a 88manx does that meant a manable 88 for ground. or since it crashes when i go to use it does not work.. thanks again for the help

When creating a fleet, the first ship you lay down will be the controlling ship. Its object data must be set to the controlling port number.

So if Field 8 is the Port then you would enter 8 in the FxxSHP0 data.

As for the 88manx, it doesn't appear to function and my Editor crashes if I select it.

Here is I file that may be of some use to you http://accesswave.ca/~tscott/AH-stuff/AH-Editor&Stuff/Shpfilter/ I have other information just go to the main section and look around http://accesswave.ca/~tscott/
