Wow Baloogan, this is a great idea! It will be very useful when playing CMANO with another PC on the desk.
If there are the same infos and the same research interface than in CMANI I suppose it will be good.

Agreed, this looks excellent!

There are advantages to having an always-up webpage for reference over the in-game box.

I'd even suggest that, sometime down the line, the game would allow us the option of calling up the relevant webpages instead of the databox, if the links can be suitably harmonised.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what this aircraft is given the sensors and weapon mounts?

Port-side arcs? Howitzer?

Gotta be an AC-130 gunship!

Very cool idea adding the arcs [:)]

Yup!! [:D]

Almost finished the aircraft database viewer:

I think I got everything aside from Loadouts... General Data, Properties, Sensors, Mounts, Signatures, Comms, Propulsion, Fuel...

Loadouts are going to be a slog lol.

Yeah, but it'll be worth it once you've finished!

A big advantage of using web is that you can easily add reference links, etc, so it's very easy to extend.

Have you written extract/format code to assist, or does it all have to be done by hand?

Take a look at the Burke: http://wiki.baloogancampaign.com/index. ... hip?ID=438
[:D]
Sensor groups, sensors inside of mounts, magazines inside of mounts all very tricky!

For ships I need to do magazines unattached to a specific mount, air facilities; then I think ships are done at that point! Aircraft are done currently too!
Tomorrow I'll tackle Subs and Facilities.

Baloogan strikes again...

This really is an outstanding resource.
The sensor and weapons arcs are particularly useful.

Thanks!
