One lonely HMMWV: 1_HMMWV.zip

Here ya go, just a platoon of Hummers and an enemy platoon of blind BRDM-2's for the AI to fire at.HMMWV_test_sb1.zip

LOL, the scenario is older than I realized: I just loaded it in Steel Beasts (not PE ) and everything is fine there.

I was able to reproduce the problem with the "Ambush in Iraq" scenario, linked below. If you load the scenario without editing it the HMMWVs won't be damaged, but they don't have any ammo either. If you load the scenario in the editor they'll appear to be fine and have ammo, but if you save and run the scenario damage shows up. I wonder if the problem is related to the age of the scenario and the HMMWV getting a face lift recently.

The ammo counter will blink as a reminder if the wrong ammo is indexed. Another common thing that can cause shots to go high (or low) is a bad lase. You can switch the somewhat poorly named "Realism" setting in the options to low, which doesn't actually change any sim functionality but rather just adds some visual indicators to the user interface. In the map it will place a * symbol to show where the previous lase "hit".

At least for the english localization, there already are separate audio recordings for HEAT, MPAT, OR, HESH, etc. The game doesn't actually use them, but they are there.

I had to switch computers after the scenario was over.

The memory warnings are normal, but if there's a problem you should get something like the following log when loading a scenario with a missing linked height map. It wasn't entirely clear from your first post, does the scenario actually load and run properly?

If you want to quickly see the effects of different artillery orientations set Realism in the options to medium, that will visualize artillery calls on the map.

I suspect it's less to do with Youtube and more this issue:

It got pulled after its initial release due to the slight problem of potentially deleting user files : https://www.thewindowsclub.com/data-loss-problem-for-those-who-installed-windows-10-v1809 . I think it's supposed to be live again, but the automatic Windows Update "feature" is so obtuse these days it's hard to tell how or why it does anything.

I've had 1809 on my laptop for a while, I didn't notice any difference with SB or anything else for that matter.

The original Steel Beasts runs reasonably well on WinXP inside VirtualBox.
