Noticed a bug for Germany with the 1936 start. No military factories producing anything, and no aircraft in storage or placed on airfields.

Thanks for the heads up Arch. I'll take a look at it and try to publish an update tomorrow morning. I probably accidentally erased something while copy-pasting the MTG info in.

Hello, sorry for my English but I am Belgian, the fuel addition is progressing well? The next update is for when? Really a very good mod, I am surprised that it is not in "the most popular". Congratulation for your work.

@Vegetoo Thank you for your kind support! The next update is planned for late tomorrow or on Monday. The fuel addition will be coming in the update after that.
