NWP announcments

[Mike D]

We will shortly end support for the Jane's version of Fleet Command. So the patches and updates for the Jane's version will no longer be available.

Yet the NWP update will still work with Jane's FC. If you are using the older Jane's version of FC you really need to update to the SCS version for XP/Vista compatiblability. To purchase a copy of the newer SCS see our online store here; http://www.nws-online.net (http://www.nws-online.netFC)

[Mike D]

19.0 will be posted in the next few day and there is already a plan for a 19.01 bug fix. A few bugs were found after we created the installer.

[Mike D]

NWP 19.0 is posted.

We are no longer supporting installations of Jane's Fleet Command. Only the newer SCS Fleet Command.

You can tell the older Jane's version by the Jane's name and logo on the CD and when you start FC it will display the Jane's logo.

If you need a copy of SCS Fleet Command you can get it here (http://yhst-12000246778232.stores.yahoo.net/nacopa.html).

I know this has happened to you; your driving to work and a thought comes to your mind. Just what does JUSMAGG actually stand for. Well fear not, Alan Caso comes to your rescue. Alan has put together an amazing spreadsheet with hundreds of military acronyms. Not only that but they are in alphabetical order!

So now you can have a warm snug and untroubled sleep tonight knowing that JUSMAGG stands for "Joint United States Military Aid Group to Greece" thanks to Alan.

Look for it in the NWP Files and Downloads (http://forums.navalwarfare.net/showthread.php?t=66) section.

New scenario by Oskar Kopczyñski called Encounter. A small but very well written scenario.

[Mike D]

I apologize to everyone, I've been unavailable for several weeks and it will be a few more weeks before I'm back online. I'm currently doing some field research in Montana and west Texas and only back in Austin for brief periods. So my end of NWP development is on hold, there have been others that have been developing wonderful new graphics and some new units that are being added to NWP. So until I finish shuttling back and forth between research projects, NWP will be on hold.

Thanks for your patience.

[Mike D]

Sorry I've been offline for awhile, I had the opportunity to do some outstanding research and assist on a really cool project so I just had to take it. But it sent me a bit above the Arctic Circle for a few months and they don't have cable tv or net connections that far north. I still have a lot of work to do collating data and writing some papers but I'll be doing it in the warmth of Austin and not in the bloody north end of Nunavut.

I don't have much free time right now but I need to get caught up on all the postings and get with Art and others to see where we are then I'll try to get out the next release. Unfortunately this will be the last release from me, I just don't have the time for the foreseeable future. If anyone wants to take over NWP please contact me, but you must be serious. I can still be around in an advisory role and help out but I just don't have the time to do all the laborious reading of military budgets and procurement documents or the tens of hours it takes to test database entries, additions and changes. And don't get me started on the bloody doctrines....

Thanks.
