Okay, it's not ANYWHERE near finished, but some guys are bugging me to death for a link. I know I'm not going to get a moments peace, until it's finished, but here it is.

There's not much there yet. I have written it all out, and I have about a half dozen submissions by other players (some of those that offered never got back to me with results). As I compose my notes into html I will post it.

I hope to get the rudimentary table of contents finished tomorrow, so those that DID submit stuff can at least see it online.

Well, at least anyone interested can see what a 'forward slip' is. heh

Please kill that music.

For some reason, while the music's playing, I can't access any tool buttons (such as favorites)

IE 5.0

Strategy guide?

Go for the head-on, run to the acks because your team is always being ganged up on, whine about how the other guy HO's you on the message board, and throw in a request for your personal favorite aircraft (because it's obvious to any moron that your right, not them).

...Or have I missed something?

Hans.

Done! Please revisit the page and tell me if the java script is causing the problem, or if it was the music for sure.

Thanks for the input!

Ok, call me a critical bastard, but try to make it less fancy and more informative. Use DHTML etc. Scrolling the frames is annoying and my resolution is 1072x768. Remember that most people still use 800x600. The wood background effect is...errmmm...errhmmm, nasty. Music is crap in web sites. Any music. People like menus and submenus, lots of em! Start hyperlinking like mad and make an enourmous menu (with submenus) in your margin/s.

DISCLAIMER-------------------

This is just a critical piece of advice. You can choose to ignore it if you wish, but I'm saying it for a good intention and in no way mean to offend you.

The title got me to look but I didn't find what I was expecting. Strategy says to me how do I win at this game, not how do I fly this here buff. Here's my suggestion. Stick to strategy e.g. what's the best way to capture a base, how do you figure out how long a mission will take, what kind of bombers should be used considering the make up of the target, how do I calc what altitude will we be over target, etc. etc. etc? And the most important strategy question of all, how do I get compromising pictures of all the Rooks in order to be able to blackmail them into joining a figgin mission?

all you have to do is ask them

As I said in the first post, this is just the beginning. There's about 500k on the site and about 9.5Megs yet to come.

It won't stay the same forever, but I'm not going to go back and spiffy things up, until it's close to being finished.

FDSS, write your own.

Background image/stuff makes the text very difficult to read. If you drop some of the artsy-stuff and stick to teaching (which your text does nicely)...I think you'll have a real winner.
