Another suggestion.

In the charts (especially into the Industry - Production Chart), have the ability of select what to show.

For example, now I have all HI, Armament, Manpower, Naval Shp, Merchant Shp and Vehicle pool. But since Manpower is in 320.000 I cannot clearly see the trends in the graph.

If I could de-select, HI, Manpower and Armament I could see the graph in a better way

Damian and/or floyd, can you tell me approximately how many threads you open in Tracker? I am investigating my memory problems and am curious. BTW, I seem to have better luck opening larger databases using a smaller -Xms parameter. I'm still looking at this to see what is happening.

No Problems ... one thing to keep in mind is that using the UpgradeTo(path) may make you think there are more options available ... For instance many of the A6M2's will have to upgrade to the A7M3-J Sam before they can be downgraded ... obviously not an ideal situation. This is because all the A6M2's are carrier capable and the first option to change to non capable is the A7M3-J Sam... then this allows to downgrade. So actually there are very few groups that can upgrade in a timely fashion ... I'm on the fence about PDU ON being this restrictive ... but it's what we've got to work with.

Also there seems to be a bug (or WAD) that I'm going to talk to MichaelM about.

Good point, Damian.
What do you mean when saying about "a bug" (or WAD) here?
Talking about the general concept of PDU? IMHO it should be rather "SPDU" as "Some player defined upgrade"... I was talking about the single squadron for patrol version of Jude the other day.. uprades are in fact kind of much limited...

viperpol, if you "upgrade" the April 43 version to Ki-48-IIa Lily, can you then upgrade to the Ki-48-IIb?

Some more details on how to miss an opportunity.
No way to get the Ki-48 IIb upgrade no matter what you try... :(

If there is a "wish list" for future updates I would like add to it.

I would find it useful to be able to see (either on the Industry or Ships screens) my total lift capacity for liquids, cargo, and troops. I think it would go great on the 'Ships' screen as I could then sort it by ship class such as TKs (example, in order to figure out how much oil I can move at a given time).

I can get a "sense" of this in the Industry screen by seeing what is loaded on TFs but still find myself adding up total capacity from time to time.

As always, thanks for all the hard work!

Would it be possible to change the filter in the "ships" screen to the different types of ship as in the ship production screen ? I think it would really cut down on the time needed to search a specific ship. Bonus points if you could also search per country.

As always, thanks for the work you are putting into this.

Another feature request. In the industry tab, supply and fuel could a feature be added that calculates the daily and monthly supply needed by the units in that zone. The same for building bases

So we can have the supply input needed to supply them, PLUS the real supply surplus at the zone, after discounting the expenses

ORIGINAL: Bliztk

Page 252 explains what are the supply requeriments for air units.

Page 215 for the ground units expanding bases.

The monthly requirement is the "supply required" in the unit. The only problem is that if that unit it`s in combat, then the requirement is doubled.

A good idea could be to track the last 30 days supply expenditure of the units and average it.

After all what I`m looking for is for trends. Something like China needs 100,000 supply points more monthly to continue operations at current pace, so I can send a convoy with those 100,000 points and forget about China logistics for a month

... no bonus points for me

A glitch report and a query... I'm using version 1.61.

1- Glitch : in the LCU screen, columns Fatigue and Disruption do not sort as they should : instead of being considered numbers, they sort as text, (numbers like 1, 2, 11, 5 52, 6 get sorted as 1 11 2 5 52 6, and not as one would expect..). Two possible reasons, either those two fields are not set numeric in the database, or the UI component you use for displaying them needs to have a parameter set for the two columns

quote:


2- Query : is there a simple way to see the situation at one specific (past) game turn? right now, I can see the last turn, I have "histories" on most detailed levels, but could I see (for instance) a filtered LCU list 5 turns ago, or some filtered base list at some "milestone turn"?

The rationale behind the query: I use tracker a lot to export data to Excel, which then makes it quite easy to build whatever subtotals or statistical analysis I have in mind (say, a break down of units per theater, with their cumulated AV, average Experience and Fatique, etc...). So long I export the "basic tables" I need every turn, tracker works wonders, but if I decide I need something new somewhere in the middle of the game, I'm stuck...

Many thanks in advance, and congrats for a great tool.

While the data is all there; it is used for the histories and is not readily available in the manner you ask for. You'd have to look at the histories of each unit and each base to gather that information. A timely endeavour. You however could make your own spreadsheet/DB front end through OpenOffice and connect to the HSQLDB DB and do this; but I guess that might be a bit of work also... sorry we try to do what we can but can't please all

I need to report that i have seemingly solved my Java memory problems. I removed all traces of Java( what a job ) and reinstalled it and let it update. Things do now seem to be working right. I am guessing that one of the updates messed up something.

Does anyone have a link to the open office interface directions? I can't seem to find them.

Hi Floyd & Damian,

Tracker still rules! One minor suggestion though, its unimportance only exceeded by its insignificance (but I bugs me enough to post about it):

In the Aircraft Comparison screen, the rightmost Plane Nation drop-down list does not trigger an ''update query'' event after changing the selection.
Instead of loosing sleep over it over and over again, I thought I might share it with you ...

Eagerly awaiting the next update, especially the improved aircraft upgrade path displays...

Cheers,

Moss
