Get Pilots Getting the Wrong Type

I was trying to replace low skilled patrol pilots with skilled ones from my training squadrons. I released 4 pilots and retired them and then used the Get 4 pilots to get 4 pilots. However, instead of choosing 4 from the patrol reserve it appears it chosed 4 from the fighter reserve. For my USN ...

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion


If you are doing PBEM and the IJ side just gave you the file, Tracker would see that as IJ info you are not supposed to see? Perhaps you need to make some changes to the Allied side and save the file before Tracker recognizes that you are Allied?


Added this above. This is a single player game ...

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion

Version 8.05 bug.

In Air Crew records screen I get this following error when trying to view the aircrew record of any ALLIED pilots (the only pilots I can see). I am playing the ALLIED side so I shouldn't be getting this.

Edit: Checking the factions and going through them all here are the results ...

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion

Probably over thinking this but I just can't get my head around the Campaign/Operations.

Which of these is closest to working with the operations/campaigns?

Operation: AUSTRALIA - Brisbane Actions
T1: Enlarge Brisbane Port [Port: 5(4)]
T2: Enlarge Brisbane fortifications [Fort: 0(9)]
T3 ...

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion






It depends how much granularity you want in tracking key tasks. You can also export the entire NGT state for that turn and upload it into copilot or something else and ask for recommendations.


Well, that's kind of the problem. When Microsoft updated Copilot yesterday it didn't synch ...

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion



Thanks to Microsoft glitching when updating Copilot I lost 7+ months of work and common shared knowledge. Still not working and Microsoft said I'm on my own.

Here is what I'd have worked through with Copilot that I'm asking here:

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion

I think I already know the answer but just wont to confirm.

In the J3 Operations Force Structure screen the button "Export Task Org" just exports the currently displayed org chart and not everything. Correct?

I can work on both. And yes, not showing the echelon in the name is a persistent issue that I'll address as well.


First off, I retired after 35 years in IT so what you've accomplished is truly amazing and very useful. I still have a lot of notepad/spreadsheet tabs (mostly to track officers ...

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion

Possible bug. Version 6.41:

Still working with the 1941-12-08 save making my OOBs.

Two units show up as active:
- 21st BR Lt AA Rgt
- 48th BR Lt AA Rgt

Both have delays of 411213 and 411211 so shouldn't show up or if they do should have the dashed border instead of the solid border.

Question ...

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion

Ranger Joe was right. For Units (NOT TOEs) a 9999 in the delay field indicates the unit does not appear in the game.

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion

Possible bug in the Force Structure tab, NGT v6.41.

In the stock scenario I based mine off of there are two Waziristan Divisions. One with a 411206 delay and the other with a 9999 delay. The attach button screen displayed both.

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion


I keep ABDA command and assign sub-units I want to make unrestricted to it. Costs 1/4 of the full cost for assigning the unit to a different command.

If 1st Australian Corps command is still unrestricted, you can assign those LCUs in Malaya to it at full cost but they will be unrestricted for ...

I do know one: You can assign a non-HQ unit to another non-HQ unit which is cleaning up my OOB a lot.

I do have a question - and this doesn't involve asking for re-work but just advice (from anyone):

Question on how people set up their Administrative OOBs.

I'm seeing something that I know is wrong.

Dec 8, 1941 start of turn.

Below the picture shows squadrons "outside an Air HQ's radius". However, each of the squadrons are based at Pearl Harbor and assigned to the Hawaiian USAAF which is ALSO based at Pearl Harbor. Thing is I can't find the Hawaiian ...

In NGT you can create task organization independent of AE’s in game chain of command and task forces. You can create and insert anywhere in the org chart a container, which can serve the administrative purpose you’ve described. In my game, I’ve organized my submarines into squadrons, each with a ...

I was wondering if you were going to include the ability for the naval forces to be organized administratively instead of just operationally.
