Build V8.62 is now available. This contains the Training System plus a bunch of bugfixes. Training System: This allows you to train new recruits. It takes 10 days during which they were unavailable for missions, costs $10,000 per recruit and at the end they should be promoted to Corporal and get +2 to all their stats. This also means that soldier promoted to Corporal through battlefield experience should also get +2 to all stats on promotion. Obviously you can't test this with your starting troops so you'll need to hire additional ones if you want to try it. BUGFIXES: Geoscape: - The game no longer crashes in the month of July. - Random crash fixed when buying interceptors. - Crash fixed after recruiting new soldiers to a secondary base. - Intercepting a UFO with your Chinook will no longer start a ground comba. - Random crash fixed when trying to intercept a Crash Site with your Chinook. - Maintenance cost for vehicles/soldiers/scientists are now displayed properly. - You can now reassign vehicles to a Chinook correctly. - When re-detecting an UFO will play the proper sound for the Pop-up window. - UFOs shot down over water will now correctly increase the funding score for the closest funding region. - Tooltips on the soldier equip screen are now updating properly. - UFO interception should be more successful on the highest time setting (there was a previously unknown bug associated with this) - The night overlay no longer migrates upwards with time, slowly obscuring the entire world in darkness. Ground Combat: - Finishing a mission shoud no longer cause a crash. - After loading a Ground Combat save game, the soldier information (name etc) is now displayed properly. - Destroyed Hunters no longer reappear back at base, safe and well. - Alien corpses are now displayed properly on the battlefield after loading a Ground Combat save. - Fixed crash after loading a Ground Combat save and then completing the mission. - Weapons can no longer be reloaded if they already have full ammo. - Selection arrow is now displayed at the edges of the map. Air Combat: - Random crash on completion of an air combat mission has been fixed. Menus: - Pressing Q on the Main Menu no longer opens the Launch Interceptors window. - Exiting to the Main Menu should now show the background image correctly.
