I've been thinking about this one for a while.

There is now a lifetime profit value against vehicles which can be viewed alongside the profit this year and profit last year.

V1
[*] Stores lifetime profit (gets updated at end of year)
[*] Displays on the vehicle info window where the other profits are shown.

This currently isn't saved into the save games.

V2 attached.

This now saves the lifetime profit in to the save game and loads it.

Good idea, I always wondered why there is lack of such information.
I'm using first patch (for game/multiplayer compatibility), hope that it will be in trunk, combined with group info

BTW, how profit_lifetime variable is initialized?

Ahh... Yeah I just realised that on new game it doesn't get initialised :S
I don't know How I missed that!

I'm glad you like it, I hope it gets in trunk as well. Ive written another small patch that meddles with the share system and dividends

Hi. Can it also be added to the Sort by when listing vehicles? That would be awesome.

I don't see why not. I shall look in to it in the week

V4
[*] NEW: Option to use Lifetime instead of last years profit for news alert.

V3
[*] New: Sort by lifetime profit in vehicle lists.

I've made a few slight tweaks to version 3 of this patch.

• Display the current lifetime profit, instead of the lifetime profit at the start of the current year
• Change the lifetime profit string format to avoid breaking translations

The update in version 4 is not multiplayer safe, as the AI event for unprofitable vehicles depends on the current client display setting for which profit to use.
I'm not sure that it makes sense in general for profit warnings to use the lifetime profit, as that effectively means that older vehicles which later become unprofitable will not show a warning.

Edit: updated.
