Title: Need ur help with plane database
Post by: Duedel on June 17, 2002, 06:43:00 AM

Hi all,

I really need ur help with plane data. I've made a little web page (IE 6 only) where u can compare the most common planes of WWII. My problem is that I've not enough resources and time to fill in all data. So I need ur expert help.  Take a look at the page here. (http://www.ottoweller.de/ah/planes.html)

So if u want me to add a specific plane, if u want to see ur prefered ride please fill out the following XML (see example in next post) and post it here. If u want to see a paint scheme post it also. I'll add ur planes as soon as i can.

Thank u very much. S!

If u dont use metric system (m, Km/h, kw) then please type the unit behind the inserted values. If u dont know a value plz leave it empty.

Many thx cajun but it would be much much easier for me if u use the XML-template posted above. BTW please only post paint schemes not pictures cause the planes on the page are displayed in correct proportions (side view) to each other.

Thx again will add ur planes soon

I'm not really sure of what links to give you and all cuz I can't see what planes you have/havent added (all I see is the SBD-3 / SBD-5 under news), I don't see any links or search things, just the front page.

But those are the stats on 2 of my favorite planes :)
