Salute,

Not a "bug" as such, but is there not a better way of showing an aircraft has unlimited stock at an airfield than what is seen below?

I presume the count of 1073741823 / 0 in the 1st picture is what they are referring to.

@DD_FriarIt would be nice if it could display infinity symbol there too, but I'm guessing displaying standard characters is likely easier than displaying a symbol so that's likely why it is how it is currently.  Since that's outside of "active" game it really wouldn't matter if it was a tiny performance hit to do a symbol rather than character, but it might require more coding than you'd think.

I was thinking it could be shown just as -1 perhaps, but I believe from those that know, this is to do with the way the data storage has been designed. And I do get that that it is a big enough number to mean that you are never going to run out of units. Also in the scheme of things there are bigger fish to fry in the Warehouse system.

@DD_Friar and @rob10 hah. my bad. it was really early in the morning before work. i see weird "unlimited" numbers in other apps too. like in 365 there is a weird number that shows in the system. something like 20,000 days (not exact number i have seen). i think there is a limitation in whatever code is being used. 

question though. do the numbers decrease? i see the sh*thook has one less. btw me calling it a sh*thook is the loving name we had for it in the army. it always seems to have sh*t hanging from it. 🙂
