However, when I selected an airplane to see where it could fly, I could not find a way to release it without just clicking on a space outside of its flying range. For infantry, tanks, etc. just clicking on another unit selected that unit. For airplanes, the game interpreted that I wanted to fly to that space.

If any of this makes sense, how do I release the airplane without moving/playing that unit? This is my first experience with any game in the Panzer Corp lineage.

Right Click

Right Click

"dalfrede:" You are spot-on!...I have experienced exactly the same issues...regarding the "Releasing of a Selected Unit after it was initially selected.

I found a 'Fix', though it's not what I would prefer (This Issue Needs To Be Dealt With), but for the meantime it seems to work not too bad. That is... that when a Unit is Selected, and now you wish to disengage it...just go to the bottom of its Unit-Stats on the Game Screen for the Unit-Icon...then move your mouse pointer to the very bottom part of the display where 2-small colored slots are located, then 'right-click' on that very location (Those 2-Slots)...and then the Unit will disengage its Selected Status...most of the time.

Seems I am not alone experiencing this. However, it was pre-release, so I'll see what happens after the official release in March.

That's a problem in of itself though. Right click has too many functions packed into it. Deselecting a unit doesn't work if you deselect while your cursor is over a unit.

The way it should work is:

1. If a unit is selected, right click ANYWHERE to deselect.
2. If no unit is selected, right clicking on a unit brings up the extra unit details interface.
