What is your screen mode set to? Go to the WC-NAW file and click on the text file titled "ScreenMode." You will see one of the following options:
Full = Re-sized to full screen display settings. Window = Windowed in 1024x768 resolution. *Default setting* Scaled = Scaled window mode.

One of the best films by the British is the autobiographical story of Douglas Bader who lost both legs in a flying accident in 1931 and then rejoined the RAF during WWII as a Wing Commander. The movie is titled "Reach for the Sky". I didn't see the movie, but I read the book (with the same title) by Paul Brickhill some 35 years ago.

I wondered if anyone can explain the targeting process action by action.I get up to choosing the target ship and then the type of shell options and rate of fire option appears over the top of the previous option. I hope this is clear. I would also like to know how to exit the game part way through a scenario. If I understand you correctly, the text with the ammo type options and rate of fire appear over the targeting option, instead of below as it should be. Does this happen all the time, are just occasionally. It might also help if you can post a screenshot. To leave a game during a scenario, hit the backspace key.

There was another interesting movie that I downloaded from YouTube but (is no longer there) titled "Ships With Wings" that was filmed in 1941 aboard the HMS Ark Royal (before she was sunk). It has some good shots of Fairey Swordfishes, Blackburn Skuas and Fairey Fulmars. Another interesting movie that I didn't know about, I checked and it is deleted. Maybe we will get it back someday. I uploaded it to my YouTube account: youtu.be/-2OKs-uCrag

Just a note: to figure out the designation for this piece of equipment, isn't really hard. 1. It's mounted on a tripod and not a truck and so it is an air transportable device or a "T" in the Joint AN designation system for installation. 2. Its a radar so it is a "P". 3. The radar antennas are very small so they are very high frequency and short ranged, gigahertz frequency. This means that it is most likely a navigation or airfield type system with PPI scopes of 1960's vintage. The giveaway was the height finder coupled with the search antenna. The height finder is the orange peel style antenna, the beam is narrow in the vertical but wide in the horizontal, the opposite of the other. The other is more of flashlight beam. Hence, TPN and now the game is to research the various TPN designated systems for the Army. I am somewhat familiar with the AN designation system, but mostly just the Navy stuff- for example, the BPS-15 radar used by the submarines I served on. When it comes to Army/Air Force gear, I'm pretty much in the dark, particularly with radar.

Last week I was in Alabama, and while there I visited the Army Aviation Museum in Fort Rucker. This museum has WW1 aircraft (mostly reproductions), liaison aircraft used by the Army in WW2, and a large assortment of helicopters that were used from the tail end of WW2, through Korea and Vietnam. up to the present day, as well as a number of other aircraft and artifacts related to Army aviation. I thought I'd share them with the folks on this forum- you can see the pictures here. BTW, they had this radar on display, but unlike most of the other displays, had no sign. Any help in identifying it would be appreciated. That is a TPN-18. A helicopter-transportable radar set used at forward airstrips and heliports for ATC, ASR and GCA landing. Frequency is 9000 to 9600 MHZ, power output is 200KW, PRR is 1200 PPS, range of 40 NM, weighs 3012 lbs and has a 360 degree search pattern with a -1 to 35 degree vertical pattern. Manufactured by ITT Gilfillan. Here is one at Bien Hoa Airbase, Vietnam of the 125th ATC Battalion. Thanks! I figured you'd know.

Here's another one on my iPod, "The Fighting Lady." Non-fiction, footage was shot abard the USS Yorktown (the 2nd one) during the war. youtu.be/B5JbXRDOP60I enjoyed "Men of the Fighting Lady", good deck and flight scenes. The Bridges at Toko-Ri was good also. Yes, "The Bridges at Toko-Ri was a good film. It was pretty faithful to Mitchener's book (which I've read).

Here are a few more of my favorites: Bataan - Desi Arnez's first movie - Remember I love Lucy. A Yank in the RAF They Were Expendable - Movie is from the book of the same name about PT boats in the Philippines at the beginning of the war. Good sailing scenes. Suicide Squadron - This film is famous for the music score which was by Richard Addinsell and was the famous "Warsaw Concerto". Recommend you see it on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkTadWECNIA - The intro to the movie. Enjoy. This one of my favorite pieces. I liked "They Were Expendable" (have it on my iPod). Also liked "Back to Bataan."

Here's a movie I saw years ago as a kid, and recently downloaded to my iPod: High Flight youtu.be/8l4byhJVA8oWhile not really a "war" movie, (although it does have some combat scenes at the end), it has some great aerial sequences featuring de Havilland Vampires and Hawker Hunters.
