With a deep abiding loathing of grammatical infelicities and typographical misdeeds, Cholmondeley is slowly assaulting the pages of this Wikipedia in an attempt to bring serenity and grammatical glory to its contents.

If you can replace any of my ghastly screenshots with a better, please do so!

Some of the New Wiki pages

  • Torus Drive felt this was very much needed (I spent about a month with Shaky Drive .oxp installed - thanks to Norby's combination packs - and could not work out why I was not flying normally! - scoured the wiki, found nothing). This led to a reworking of the Equipment pages (originally for FFE) and the adding of Standard Equipment and a taster of .oxp equipment to what was previously just standard optional equiment.
  • Buttonboxes raising awareness of putative Astrogation Boards!
  • Joysticks and Gamepads‎‎ rehabilitated from an indirect and with vital information about Precision Flying on it previously buried in the BB, linked to Linux page, Dizzy's page (& the Mac Thrustmaster Harness).
  • User:Dybal - wanted to encourage the chap but very worried that I may have trodden on his corns instead!
  • User:Stranger & some of his OXPs: felt need to raise awareness: virtually nothing on wiki

Major Edits

To do

  • Finish Stranger's oxp pages (almost there!)
  • Do Redspear's oxp pages
  • Sort out the muddle with 4/5 different library pages (library.oxp, cim's ship's library, spara's technical library, etc.): BB beg
  • Go over ship's basic equipment pages with new pages for installed stuff (like the Torus Drive) and with links to relevant .oxp's (started)
  • Do a Keyboards page if I ever get enough information: French keyboard keys troubleshooting & Nordic Keyboard
  • Incorporate programming tweaks from the BB onto the pages of relevant OXPs. (major project)
  • Update [OXPList] with OXZs from Expansion Packs list
  • Extract lore from The Dark Wheel etc and incorporate into wiki pages
