Airliner crash event

In the attached save, I get notified of the airliner crash event 3 times in 8 years - 1952, 1956 and 1960. I'm not sure that this is a bug (although I find it difficult to believe it is working as intended) and it may not be related to 3.17 (although I never noticed it before).

In some games, I've gotten that event every turn for a period (or it's actually only a noticiation, it has no affection). That's 3.13 + Bhruic, haven't tried 3.17 yet

Apparently barrage is totally broken in 3.17:

Not sure about totally, but certainly noticed that there was no notification of collatoral damage for a tank with 3 barrage promotions.

If I had to guess, that's probably an event that is not frequently in games, but has a high frequency of occurring once in (or high frequency if you have a lot of aircraft).

In this case, I discovered Flight in 1931 and Advanced Flight in1945; I had not build a single aircraft of any sort. However, surely it should only happen once for each player in any given game, irrespective of how many aircraft have been built. Actually, I'm not sure whether it was one of "my" events, or whether it was an Incan event - either way, 3 times in 8 years seems too high.

rjmatsleepers, you can HONESTLY say that you haven't frequently seen airplane crash events before?? While in some of my games they are rare, in many they ARE frequent (in 3.13)!

Perhaps you aren't civvin' enough.
Then again, unlike me perhaps you have a job, too.

Reinstall????

Why reinstall for a patch? Can I just go to the menu when I insert the disc and "Get Updates". Wouldn't that be the easiest? I have BTS.

I've seen the aircraft crash event before - usually as the person in whose land the plane has crashed. I rarely see the other side of the event - where one of my aircraft crashes in an AI civ's territory and they have to decide what to do. This may be because I tend not to bother researching flight.

My point was that I didn't think it was intentional on the part of the game designers that the same event should happen 3 times in 8 years. Perhaps it was, but it seems rather odd.

Why do you want to reinstall? Most people don't have to reinstall

So one of the best promotions in the game is useless?

[logicman49]

Reinstall Not

Maybe I just got confused by what Virulent said above...

[joncnunn]

Well, I'm definately not upgrading until someone creates an unoffical patch to make colaterial promotions work again.
