You likely know this, but if not, here you go. FLStat also lists infocard IDs (Name ID and Info ID columns.)

I seconds this.

Can we have multiple NavMap tabs? 2-3 would be nice.
I usually have one tab with galactic map, one with current sytem, one with the system I'm going into.

Thank you for working on a program like this. It is nice to see something modern. I can't wait to test it.

The latest Discovery patch seems to have borked up Wingman. Upon launch, it gets stuck at loading equipment, 60%. Reinstalling Wingman doesn't fix it.

Worked around it by directing it towards a backup install that's still running the previous patch. Suboptimal solution, of course.

Version 5.0 has been released. This major release has several improvements and bug fixes. The main ones are summarised below:

v5.0 Changelog Wrote:
Changed to Firefox-style versioning because semantic was unwieldy

Fixed a crash with the latest patch (see below)

Database now shows hardpoint information for ships

Database now includes base nicknames in all Availability tables

Database now shows ship package price rather than hull price

Navmap will now save images to the ~/Pictures directory

Fixed Navmap resetting to New York on relaunch (see below)

Fixed. It was a one-line change but I took months to become aware of the problem (thanks @Toaster and @Swallow for messaging me on Discord). This means that whoever was using Wingman has probably moved back to FLC etc. If more than about two people out there are still interested in using Wingman, please let me know and I will continue providing bugfixes and maybe even (very slowly) getting through the feature backlog.

Fixed. The intended behaviour for the navmap was to "remember" the last system or base you looked at and return to this when reopened. Due to an oversight (base solar nicknames being different to base names), if you last selected a base, this would not be restored, and would default back to New York instead.

Interesting idea. Right now you can open the universe map in a separate window (obviously) but it's application modal which means you can't interact with the navmap tab (it will still update if you are using "Follow" mode). The easiest improvement would be to try making this not modal, I suppose.

Perfect. Going to take a look on it soon. I have stopped using app after discovering its constant shutting down

Bug report Wrote:Operating system: Windows 8.1
Wingman version: 5.0
Steps to reproduce: Literally click to launch.
What did you expect to happen?: Launch
What happened?: Launched, stuck at 20% loading for ~30 min, didn't respond so I gave up and closed it.

Biggles · 11-11-2021, 08:08 PM,

I'm not aware of anyone else running on Windows 8.1 but it should be supported. Did Wingman used to work?

I've just tested on Win 10 with the latest Disco patch and everything is fine.

Groshyr · 11-11-2021, 08:31 PM,

I did use it on W10 before and it worked just fine, know people running it at 7, but my laptop shown the best performance on 8.1 so I stuck to it. Will check tomorrow on another machine to see if its 8.1's fault or something wrong on my side

The logfile is probably helpful - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\wingman\wingman.log.

Version 5.1 has been released. This release adds no new features but includes significant bugfixes:

v5.1 Changelog Wrote:
Made Freelancer > Reload game files button functional
Preferences > Configure paths will now trigger a reload if necessary

Preferences > Reset to defaults will now trigger a reload

Fixed gap at end of infocards on Navmap

Several fixes to expanded map
Fixed breakage when opening with a base selected

Fixed expanded map sometimes opening on the wrong system

You can now see infocards on the expanded map and scroll to zoom

New continuous delivery pipeline which should make releases more convenient

➤ Windows installer: wingman-5.1-setup.exe (51.8 MB)
➤ Windows portable: wingman-5.1-portable.zip (66.1 MB)
➤ Linux: run pip install -U wingman

Unfortunately the portable file size is larger than previous versions because Windows Explorer has suddenly decided it can't cope with the archive being LZMA compressed.

Thanks for your encouragement!
