Can we have a graph back for finances please? Having only season to date and one day to view makes it very hard to see how you are progressing.

Or, if a graph is too difficult, maybe another few columns of data for rolling 7 days, month and quarter would suffice.

While I don't support a graph, I can agree right this moment the Finances page does not show enough information. There's a lot of things hard to account for with how simple it is.

I need a detailed break down of the costs like one could see in the old iGP's Finances page with expandable rows.

The Finances sheet needs to know and show me the following:

- Expand Cars to display where specfically money is being spent. Currently, cars are costing me $1.6 million per race. At the start of my hiatus season, spending was only $800k per race on Cars.

- Expand Wages showing who got paid. I have 4 drivers and 3 staff members. Their wages are: $870k, 795k, 344k, 344k, 558k, 506k, 440k, totaling to $3.857 million. The Finances page shows I paid out $7.508 million in wages in my last race. Including supplier costs, that's still not close to $7.5 million. ???????????????? Nearly $3 million is unaccounted for and I can't track this down.

- Headquarters needs to expand to show which facilities were paid for to be constructed or upgraded.

- Investment needs clarifying. What costs fall under it? As it is, $0 have been spent here since the new iGP launched.

- Prize money needs clarifying. I received $1.932 million in Prize money from the last race. Having not attended any races in my hiatus season, I don't know what objectives I'm being rewarded for.

- Expand Research to list what was researched. Obviously only DRS or KERS will be shown here but it will be helpful for the less informed.

- Expand Sponsors showing who is paying me and how much they've paid me. I received $4.731 million from sponsors in my last race. My Primary and Secondary sponsors are iRacing with 3 tokens and WTF1 with $2.4 million. Where did the extra $2.3 million come from? Now I'm confused. If Sponsor bonuses are included under Sponsors, my bonuses total to $966k, which still has a bit over $1.3 million coming out of thin air. As mentioned very long ago by someone else, tokens given out by sponsors should be shown here too.

- Expand Other and clarify what costs fall under it. I don't know what costs fall under Other. Real world money spent purchasing tokens should be shown here as well, possibly including legacy subscriptions. I've got $10 million spent over my current season's duration in this area and don't know what costs fall here. Signing fees?

- Add a line/row for Suppliers under Wages or create a new line/row for Suppliers.

**********

I presume that the Finances sheet was simplified removing what may have been considered unnecessary information, however lacking that information has made it more complex to understand.

This issue was not much of a concern for me when other players initially spoke out about it. Now, however, it is becoming a serious concern for me and hope this can be addressed sooner rather than later.

This was coming this week, so I made it a priority to finish today.

Very detailed financial information has just been added: http://igpmanager.com/?url=forum-thread/5975. This should meet the requirements of pretty much each request made in this thread.
