% Shifts will be excellent;, making scenarios much easier. But in some cases it’d be better done by region. I know this is a big ask but any chance of regional % shift in the future? So you could for example give Labour a 4% boost in Outer London using a universal shift for that region.
@Bjorn,
One step at a time. 🙂 Regional % shifts might happen in the future, yes.

– 2017 > Corbyn > Charisma 2 -> 3
various currency symbols are not recognized by the game for some reason such as the sign for the NIS. I’m looking forward to the PI update a lot and the modernization of CI.
@NYRep,
Yes, that doesn’t work on my system either. For now, you might want to use just ‘NIS’. I’ll look into this.
@anthony_270admin
I’m sorry to keep asking for things, but is there a possibility you could make the incumbent party and candidates change automatically? Because when editing the %s in a constituency, it is easy to forget to change the incumbency.
@Shane,
Can you say more about what you mean?
@anthony_270admin,
When in the Editor, changing the percentages in a constituency, sometimes the seat will ‘change hands’. But it becomes time-consuming when you need to manually tick and untick the incumbent boxes.
@Shane,
Ok, I think I understand what you’re saying here. The problem is that these things are logically independent – the starting %s could shift dramatically while the incumbent could still be the candidate with the lower %s.
@anthony_270admin
I was wondering in the next update if there would be a voter turnout feature
EG
72% of the electorate voted
I think this would tie in well with the planned swing feature you are adding in the next update.

@Rob,
That would be pretty straightforward to add – we’ll see.
@admin_270 thanks for the changes
@admin_270
Also what does the new basics tab do?
The Basics tab includes most of what was on the main Editor window. Adding the tabs is a first step in making the Editor user-interface more ‘flat’.
@anthony_270admin How long will it be till the update is released? I’m looking forward to all the new features.
I’m currently adding the official 2010, which requires a bit of editing.
Are you planning on adding anything else to your to-do list? 😉
That’s the final feature for this update. I expect there to be future updates with new features. 🙂
@admin_270 how long till we can expect the UK 2010 update so then we can have France 2017
Don’t know – it will be done when it’s ready. Best guess is a few days.
Is there a bug with the turnout feature, the actual turnout doesn’t seem to match with what is set manually?
@Daons,
Can you tell me what kind of discrepancies you get?
I have done a couple of tests for compulsory voting etc and turnout seems to drop to about half of what is specified, for example 100% ends up at about 60% and 1% ends up at about 0.5%. Not sure if it is to do with undecideds or something but on election night it still acts strangely.
Thanks
@Daons,
Thanks for this – noted.

– fixed graphical glitches with controls not updating
Note exporting means exporting to a user-specified location on that user’s computer. For example, I can export my United States – 2020 campaign to my desktop as a zip file. Then, I can easily post it to campaigns.270soft.com, or what have you.
