POC Delux 3D 2024 / P & L Screen not readable

[ricardo]

Good day

I must admit that I am somewhat a bit disappointed in the Steam version's "mechanics/options" and too me it seemed as if it has gone a bit "backwards". After playing the XXL for many years.
I tried to view the P & L screen and all the details are over one another, Not sure where I can post a screen shot though!
Why the charter-list is listed as per products and then the city.
App 85% of the jobs are "unload-able" due to the penalty factor.
I work full time in logistics and we cannot "hold" shipping companies ransom & demand specific delivery times.
This should be chaged please?
It now takes "longer" to leave a harbour, after selecting the option that tugs must assist with the "sailing". No where is the option to change the speed upon leaving the harbour to be able to sail in time to clear the penalty.

Maybe some of the "older" regular players could have BETA tested prior to the release.

Just my 5 Euros input before writing a review on Steam.

Hi,
thanks for the feedback, very strange as the algorithms are the same as in pocxxl, but I will check for this and correct them with the next update I work on the delux version iwll come closer to the xxl version -- as the deluxe is a derviate of the 2008 version I wonder that I NEVER got feedback on this version as the algorithm are the same, maybe the customers never reached me at that time, so I assumed all be ok, and we had beta testers on this version. --- so thanks a lot to contact me firts before of writting a NEGATIV REVIEW which will almost kill the development.
Here is a good place for all information.

greetings

ps: all feedback I got so far was implemented in the new udates, now I have a list todo, for example tanker and liner will also be implemented and the P&L with the old statistic graph.

"App 85% of the jobs are "unload-able" due to the penalty factor." - please give an example. on the update already done the factors are changed, the only difference are the ships used towards the xxl version, some ships are very slow and charge and discharge times are not good, -- I will provide this info on the KARA screen with the next update, there wil be a two page nfo screen in KARA instead only one as some infos are hidden -- the parameter are the same as in pocxxl ... (ships goods and freigh and harbour lists are fully compatible) - probably have to trim some factors as delivery time versus length which is indead different for poc xll.

"I tried to view the P & L screen and all the details are over one another, Not sure where I can post a screen shot though!" please send it to poc@rdklein.de -- screenshots also can be embedded here but you need to store it on a web server and link it .

I am very intersted in this screenshot as I cannot reproduce the problem. Might be a combination of screenresoltion etc. I changed the fonts already during the last updates -- please be sure to use my latest updated in steam.

"Why the charter-list is listed as per products and then the city." As with the classic list usually the products determine the profit very much, and so this is the default sort, on pocxxl yo can choose the sorting - I will add options on this list system anyway as its planed to used reserved freights etc. like on xxl -- currently we use a global freight system as on xxl, so you need to be careful which ship you use for which time critical delivery freight --- I might need to adjust this a little bitt more, but the current updated version shows an estimation if you can deliver the freight or not based on teh ship used for the offered freight ...
