' Wrote:looqas: I use cockpit view and I turned off cockpits in the FL options. It basically gives you a free screen, which you can then photoshop at will.

I have to experiment with this, but how do I get toggle cockpit view? The regular view (not turret) right? Are we talking about same thing here.

I'm also thinking of setting up a camera ship just to explore and take pics all over Sirius.

This Wiki is coming together nicely. Looks good with pictures now.

You press CTRL+V to toggle into cockpit view. You can turn off cockpit models in the Freelancer options. You get a clear screen then.

I've added a To do list on the first post.
I'll add to it as I find things.

About time lines.

I think Blodo's template for time line is a good one. http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php/Time...einland_history

What I'd like to do is combine all the house time lines into a single timeline. This would remove the need to keep updating 5 different time lines. And would make a clear difference between histories of the houses and timelines.

Combining all the time lines would mean (in the current format) losing the house information, unless a third column (house name) or something similar would be introduced. Personally I wouldn't mind losing that bit of info since it's always nice browse around... But at the same time I understand the need to have "important" house specific years shown (-> the 3rd column)

What's the verdict here?


Wiki - Feedback Thread - Blodo - 09-15-2008

Well, I think it would be better to keep the 4 timelines for all events, and have 1 general timeline for important events. I imagine once history is compiled for the other 4 houses, the timeline put together will be quite long, and it will be difficult to find anything in it.

I've so far took the timeline posted on the forums, and transferred it to wiki here: http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php/Time..._Sirius_history

I also cleaned up the AS article, like I mentioned previously.

Looks very nice. Thanks Blodo. You've been busting your tail pipe for Wiki.

I uploaded a test icon in "VIPs" article. Do we add a picture to all of commodities?

If we do I believe there would be a better way to get the pictures than to screenshot and crop them. Straight from the Disco mod I think. Maybe Igiss could give us a hint how to extract the pictures? They are in .3db format.

Those icons do not take that much space, but liven up a article well, so I think it's worth the trouble.

About pilots (commodity of sorts). I put a RH pilot http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php/Red_Hessian_Pilot as an example there, but like I suggested in the discussion of that article, we should make one big page about different pilots. Otherwise we will be swamped with those pages and true commodities will be swallowed under that.


Wiki - Feedback Thread - chovynz - 09-19-2008

Yes. Just like the ID's put all the pilots into one page.
Good thinking.


Wiki - Feedback Thread - looqas - 09-19-2008

I created "Pilots" page which is supposed to hold those different pilots. I also tried to categorize it a bit.

The page is a skeleton draft and needs a lot of work and ideas how to fit those icons.
