I found the problem: apparently all ranks for these race except lowest and highest were Leaders, and Fighters are crewed by rank 4 (normally Navigators). This race simply doesn't have Navigators, Medics or Engineers (same in vanilla).
I changed the Ethereal race to also have Soldiers on rank 4.

Yes indeed, a bug. Thanks.

You would have to be so great at sucking, that if there was a competition in sucking, you would only take second place, because you suck so damn hard.

I just started this mod. Very good!

Two comments:
- City of Maracaibo, Venezuela, is way off location in the geoscape.  The actual location is:
lon: 5.0304582889272318
lat: -0.19171555321853498

- I noticed something odd with the Audio. The music volume level in geoscape sort of controls the volume for the whole UI and effects. And when switched to battlescape the volume sort of changes. I haven't experienced such problem with Piratez. Then I noticed that the EXE build of OXCE in Piratez is 2018-10-14 and the one in XCF is 2018-10-07. Therefore I must assume the audio problem may be related to the EXE build. I suppose I can update the EXE with the one from Piratez and things should work fine.

I tried using your coordinates, but it's somewhere west of Libreville... :) Probably some language issue?

As for the sounds, I can't really say much - I haven't noticed. And it's up to the devs anyway.

As far as i can tell from looking at the screenshots, openxcom also uses Greenwich as a prime meridian. You should be able to use the actual coordinates (10°39′N 71°38′W as per wikipedia), i.e. 10.65, 71.63.

Hi, Solarius
In armor_XCOMFILES.rul (0.9.6. b and c) you have twice the STR_XCOM_CYBERDISC_ARMOR (for both laser and plasma variants). The latter shouldn't be there as is fulfilled by STR_XCOM_CYBERDISC_ARMOR_ORANGE, right?
As well, the STR_NONE_UC and STR_NONE_H_UC have 2 builtInWeapons sections...

Yes, thanks, but Alex_D specified different coordinates. Just wanted to make sure what his intention was.

You are right, these are duplication bugs. Many thanks, fixed.

I suppose I put the coordinates in the wrong units. The number I got was from looking at the save game and see the destination coordinates of the vehicle, as shown on the screenshot. But maybe I don't understand the inner workings of the game as much as the modders here :)

Umm, this is Antarctica.
