This is the new aircraft comparison window. I made it so you can compare more than two -- just keep adding columns as wide as your screen can get (or wider, since it has a horizontal scroll bar).

Very useful

While I am re-using a lot of the Java code, it's all being re-done in Python.
I'm also making some architecture changes along the way to make start-up a lot quicker.
This will be packaged with the Python interpreter so you won't need to install anything extra, plus no 32-bit Java dependency!
I'm about 40% into it, I guess, after several months of hacking away.
I am trying to package what I have so far now so you can try out some of the functionality for feedback.
I'm hoping to have a somewhat functioning partial implementation by the end of the month.

Awesome.

That would be awesome. I am starting a new PBeM game in the next week or so and I would love to use your new version.

Having just some of the functionality available will be a big plus.

It appears that with the latest versions of 32 bit Java that memory threshold errors occur after 50 turns. No amount of configuration or deletion of old databases resolves functionality. It's pretty incredible that any application cant run in a 4GB window. The move to python solves lots of problems.

Although it is quite possible to use the utilities embedded into WITP AE -- WITP Tracker enabled rapid and meaningful access to critical decision data in an organized presentation making the game playable -- especially as the IJ.

I continue to monitor and await an alpha version.
