Meridian, tanks lost the ability to climb mountains. I  tested on the 3.9 - there everything is in order.

You know... these screenshots don't tell me anything... you didn't even say which screenshots are from 3.9 and which from 3.10... or what I should look at.

It looks like screen004, the second one, is 3.10 and the ability to not drive the selected HWP on top of the hill, while the rest are 3.9.

The first 2 - 3.10. The second 2 - 3.9. Tanks at 3.10 can not go to the top.

It's an issue in vanilla.
It got broken with this commit: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/commit/53a566a67b7ca68eead38986a581d3c22517912f
I have reported it to Warboy.

EDIT: Bug tracker: https://openxcom.org/bugs/openxcom/issues/1381

Bug report:
When this feature is triggered
- Fixed newly arriving craft ammo being ignored when refuelling (by karadoc)
your craft gets teleported back to base if it is out.

Thanks.
Will be fixed in the next version.

I noticed that these three constants are missing:
  STR_UFO_LANDING_ALERT
  STR_UFO_LANDING_ALERT_DESC
  STR_UFO_HAS_LANDED

I added them to the yml files!
...\common\Language\...
That's better!   
Tks !

They are not missing, you just didn't install OXCE+ properly.

I don't see what caused this mistake!
But it doesn't matter because I like this "mistake"!     
Maybe that's because I kept all the lines (#Extended+ BEGIN /.../ #Extended+ END) in the yml files.
While these lines have disappeared since your lastest version.

Meridian, I'm tired of waiting for the correction of this error and I have an offer. You can transfer everything that concerns the movement of units from "3.9." in "3.10". I do not know what and why was done in terms of mobility in "3.10", but this is clearly superfluous. As a temporary measure, you can make a script that would be added to "standard \ xcomX".

P.S. I'm tired of this outrage. So it tempts to make all the tanks fly!

[Meridian]

And why should I do that?
It means (potentially a lot of) work for me... what is my motivation??

PS: we are not baking bread here... programming is complicated... you cannot just "transfer everything that concerns the movement of units from "3.9." in "3.10"" as you say ... you really think this is so easy?

PS2: and even if I did that... when Warboy fixes the bug later... I will have to change it AGAIN... no thanks

Is there a way to globally control (reduce) the amount of smoke produced by normal (HE and IN) explosions?
Trying to understand if and how I should tweak my smoke animation.

No, but I think it should be relatively easy to do...

... do you have something specific in mind... or should I first (find and) explain exactly how it works now?
