NGT.exe stays in memory if you close the window from X in upper right corner, instead of using menu option Quit.

Thanks. The Op report lists the enemy recon flights but sometimes lists the bases sometimes the LCU so will need to parse the LCU for its location either in a base or if in the field its hex coordinates.RedConkristador wrote: Fri Oct 02, 2026 9:07 pmThat's been on the to-do list. I had started it with trying to get estimated ranges of enemy aircraft based on sighting reports, but it didn't turn out how I wanted to just yet. So that'll be in a future phase.

NGT 8.12 released
Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion
I am currently experiencing issues with last 2 versions after the NGT is opened for a sizeable time and maybe after computer sleeps. When i click in the tabs it says "that action failed and said nothing - failed to fetch etc..."
In the main menu if i go to continue campaign to reload the campaign again the fail reply is the same.

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion
I'm having trouble getting NGT to read my save files. It will read the initial save when I set up a campaign but then it stops reading the save files from then on. Can someone give me a step by step instruction on how to get the files to be read? I can provide screenshots if that will be easier.
Thanks for any help! This app seems so helpful in getting me through a Grand Campaign!

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion
NGT 8.25 is now posted.
@BlackSnack - if there's an error, it should now tell you the specifics. I think it's because your file path is changed from the default. Go to MAIN MENU > OPTIONS > DATA LOCATION and press READ THE DEFAULT AGAIN. Let me know if that works.

Thanks, this sub assign issue was also on my wishlist but never got around to even asking for it as you produce so fast.RedConkristador wrote: Wed Oct 21, 2026 4:42 pm NGT 8.25 is now posted.

Re: Next Generation Tracker: Staff Officer Companion
Any advice on how to get past this error? Should I take screenshots of my entire setup process? I have no problem doing that if it would be helpful.

Re: Staff Officer Toolkit (SOFT); formerly Next Generation Tracker
SOFT 8.30 is released.
I renamed it to Staff Officer Toolkit from Next Generation Tracker:
* to further differentiate between SOFT & WITP Tracker
* better describe what SOFT does
* prepare to make other versions of SOFT different titles

Re: Staff Officer Toolkit (SOFT); formerly Next Generation Tracker
When I started the project, I originally envisioned it as Tracker with a map, and so my first name for it was of course derivative by what inspired me. But now that it's come a long way, I think a name change is appropriate.btd64 wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2026 9:57 pm I have always been wondering about the name. Nice change....GP
