On request/wishes of Robert Wiggins I coded a little WOFF utility WOFF UE_Encyclopedia 1.06
WOFF UE _Encyclopedia ReadMe by RJW v1.0.1
Above utility is still WIP and any suggestions are welcome.
Enjoy!

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 ?

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.

.

Oh now that is a very handy item Jara. Well done Sir!

.

WOFF_Encyclopedia 0.86 released, download link here
Added new data fields - region, unit name, emblem and picture of aircraft operated.
Thanks to Robert Wiggins I can present you with WOFF UE Encyclopedia Readme
Enjoy!

Thanks for the cool tool!! Much appreciated

Jara, I sent you a ReadMe file for this one too!

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?

Oh, I have overlooked it. Thank you.
I have added the DL links.

Wonderful idea, Jara!

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.

Thx for kudos, Blade. I was (and still I am) thinking about it. I just must study how and what WOFF maps to implement .

Enjoy!

Jara, the new features look very handy. I’ll download the new version and take it for a spin. Thank you.

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.

Beard

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.

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!

OK, guys, here is the latest version WOFF UE Encyclopedia 1.01 with dragable windows

Let me look into it, Robert. Just give me some time, pls

No problem Jara, and no rush. I was just trying to clarify the issue but it seems you understand me.

Wow. Guess I was asleep. I can’t believe I missed this.
Very cool JJ and an instant d/l next CP boot-up.
Thanks!

Thank you Jara, that was fast and works as advertised! One question, how do I close the airplane window?

Thanks...fixed.

Works flawlessly. Very nice!

Updated Readme by RJW available here

Thanks for this JJJ!!

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!!!

S!Blade<><

Thx for kudos, Sirs. I am glad you like it. But all historical data, pictures and materials are OBD work, so credit goes to OBD.
P.S.: The Encyclopedia is still WIP, yet more to come...

WOFF UE_Encyclopedia v1.05 released. Download available here
Main revision changes:
1) Added new "Medals" tab with medal list pictures and descriptions
2) Added new "Weather" tab with historical weather forecast from 1.1.1915 - 11.11.1918
3) Added Historical pilots kill list (table)
4) Application should run on secondary screen, if available (WIP)
5) Aircraft window is closeable/minimized now

Enjoy!

Sounds really great Jara! I will test it sometime today, and also update your ReadMe file.

It´s getting better and better, thanks again JJJ.

JJJ65, you are over your private topic limit. I was unable to send you a PM about the following:

Here is a link to my dropbox for an updated ReadMe file for your Encyclopedia app.

click to download

Thank you, Sir.

Version 1.06 released, download link here.
Fixed error in Historical Aces kill dates - thx to ArisFuser for pointing it out.
Updated Readme file to v1.06 by RJW available here
Thank you Robert.
EDIT: Addede Readme file by RJW

Wow, this is a great resource JJJ! Nice work. I am surprised I had missed this being available.

"Windows" version (with exe file executable) is available for download here. Thanks to Robert Wiggins for program icons.
Enjoy!

Getting this error on the download link (pic attached)

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?

Alternate source to download my mods is here .

JJJ65
You are over your limit in PM messages so I cant PM you.

OK, Robert, PMs cleared.

The alternate download link works fine, thanks!

I got this virus notice when I ran the encyclopedia exe. The encyclopedia jar works fine.

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