Hi, guys. I could swear I've asked this question before, but even searching through all my own posts I don't find it so I must not have. Maybe we did it via PM.

Anyway, using one of my many installations of Tracker, I'm wanting to restart a game. I delete all trackerdb* files, and I've updated to the latest Tracker. When I re-initialize and try to load a turn, I get the "Turn 2 already loaded" message (I'm reusing the same save files, as well, which I also deleted). In the back of my mind is a note that says last time this happened I had to reboot my machine to get rid of something in memory, but that didn't work, either.

It would appear that I need to replace some other file to clear the turn history, but which one might that be?

Maybe you missed one of the trackerdb files (there are usually four when the program is not running). Otherwise, maybe you initialized the DB with turn 2.

That's all I can think of right now....

Work still in progress... R&D calculated and approx availability. Still very much a work in progress [8D]

Question on USS Colorado upgrade screens:

1/42 upgrade.

Summary in home screen has 5in/51 Mk7 mounts going from 5 to 1, both port and starboard. In the "Compare" detail, before and after, there are both 1 each and 5 each mounts. Probably what this means is explained by the M=1 and A=24 codes, but I have no idea what these refer to. The Compare screen, by use of the blue text, seems to say that the only change is to the radars, but this does not agree with the home screen on the gun mount configs.

Help? How do I read the Compare detail screens here and elsewhere? What do the M= and A= notations tell me?

How are you calculating the estimated repair time? I thought the formula that incorporates a random element based on time until availability wasn't exactly known.

Hi Bullwinkle -
Not sure what is going on here but it looks like a bug in the front screen. I'll investigate and fix it - unless Floyd wants more work to do. This is the first time I've noticed a bug here but I'm sure now I'll find more. The actual comparison pop-up screen is correct. M=mount(Turrets)& A=Ammo.

Let me take a look -- this section of code is kind of nasty...

This is what the Editor manual says about turrets:

Turrets. This represents the number of weapons that are grouped together in one turret or bank of
torpedoes that will fire together in combat. As an example, if the number of weapons is 6, and the
number in the turret column is 2, this indicates there are 3 turrets of 2 guns each. In the game, turrets
are the basic unit that can shoot and that can be damaged (i.e. individual weapons in the turret will not
shoot or be damaged separately).

As for the gun changes listed in the main panel, I don't think it's accurate -- checking.

Is it posssible under Air Groups to include a filter for Carrier trained or capable.

Something like this ... or do you want a differentiation of CV trained OR CV capable?

OK. Thanks.

Edit: I went and found pictures of the 5in/51 Mk 7 and I better understand how this works now. Single barrel, not in a true mount. Just behind a shield on most classes. Still odd they were grouped 5 and then 1, but so be it. The devs have a lot better references than I do on this stuff.
