Ah, I for one love it. It is particularly useful when setting up a new pilot.
Helps to determine what squadron is at what field at what time and what aircraft are available.

Try it out folks.

Great ! But how to use ? Where to install ?

Re: WOFF Encyclopedia - 01/13/18 09:18 PM

Brilliant idea. I for one spend a lot of time flipping through numerous squadrons when deciding where to enlist my new pilot. This should speed up the process. I’ll definitely take it for a spin.

Just extract the archive anywhere on your computer and run (double click) WOFF_Encyclopedia.jar.

Hey Triple-J, just took the app for a test drive and I like what I see. One thing: same airplane image shows up for all 3 types, even if they're different. Is that still on the "to do" list?

That is correct. I just did not know how to tell the application what plane to select and show, so it is the plane from the second column now.
Maybe by mouse click on the plane you want to display?
BTW, do you want to see any more info or data? If so, what?

Re: WOFF Encyclopedia - 01/29/18 06:50 AM

This is awesome. Maybe this is to much, but a map of each region and when you click on an airfield it opens the map with the airfield centered and surrounding airfields and maybe major cities shown. This would be great for finding an Area then Squadron and the airfield in the area they operated from, which would help less knowledgeable pilots with finding where they want to start their career. Just a thought. Love this tool already. Thanks for your hard work and sharing this with the Community. salute

Jara;

I have noticed that the map when it comes up cannot be dragged to another screen location.
I also have noticed that it opens on my primary screen and does not remember that I had it on my second screen the last time it was opened. It always defaults to the primary screen.

Is this something you can fix? can you set both the map and the data screen to remember where the user last wanted them displayed.

I can't open these files, the download says they are rar, but after I download them and try to open them the extension is jar.

Re: WOFF Encyclopedia - 02/18/18 05:52 PM

Beard, these are java files. Do you have java installed on your system?
Jara, I agree with Robert. The windows need to be dragable. I can't seem to move them and one is overlapping another.

That is correct - the Java executable file is WOFF UE_Encyclopedia.jar. Assuming you have Java SE installed, double click on jar file and application should start.

OK, guys, I will change the window to be moveable in the next release. But all windows, except the map window, are already dragable.

Re: WOFF Encyclopedia - 02/18/18 06:17 PM

Jara, that's odd. I couldn't move the airplane window (or the map).

You are correct Jara, but as I have noted. The windows no longer remember where they were last placed, so when you open it again, it jumps to your primary screen, even though you had dragged it to your secondary screen the last time you used it.
It used to work fine before this release, so I suspect something has changed, but only you would know for sure.

All that being said, I really like what you have achieved with the added information Jara! thumbsup

Amazing! With the map, all the info plus the actual plane pic/name it is so easy to pick a region, flight group and make sure you are in the plane you thought you were going to be in plus find the time frame. Thank you for your hard work.
This is Awesome Sir!!!

That is due Google false positive antivirus warning. I have asked for correction, but w/o result so far. Can you recommend better file hosting than Google drive or Dropbox?

No worry, that is false positive warning because of exe file that calls windows runtime.
