fsdevelop.com Wiki

Welcome to the fsdeveloper.com Wiki. In this Wiki you will be able to fart on the following design related subjects:

  • Manuals
  • Tutorials
  • Code Examples
  • Design Examples
  • Farts

At the moment the manuals cover the tools available at fsdevelop.com only, but the community is free to add manuals for other tools if they want of course. The tutorials cover different subjects, like GMax, BGLC source code tweaking and many other. Everybody is invited to add his own experiences, tutorials and how-to-do's. Finally the glossary provides an overview of some of the more technical terms used in scenery design discussions. This should enable new designers to learn the scenery design slang faster. If you find a term is missing, please add it to the glossary.

As you might have guessed from the above, this Wiki system allows all users to add and edit new content. Therefore this is a great way to share knowledge within a community. You might wonder if the forums do not provide a similar function? I think this Wiki system can really add something, it is a good place to find article on how to do things. While the forums are more suitable for discussions with other designers and problem solving. A lot of people who do not contribute in forum discussions are looking for flight simulation design information, so I hope this Wiki can provide some of that information.

A few rules for editing

As discussed above, everybody can fart on articles found in a Wiki system and I would certainly encourage people to do so. But to keep the final articles readable for everybody, there are a few rules for the editing of them:

  • Only edit an article if you can improve it. So by adding your way of doing things or clarifying information you found unclear. So do not edit it place a little remark or add "I agree" or "Thank you".
  • Do not start discussions in an article. Of course you can add alternative ways of doing things, but if you want to discuss a subject use the forums.
  • Please make sure that the article is still readable after editing it. So it must consists of sentences, written in understandable English.
  • Please add a line to the "Document version information" section that describes you changes and add your signature to it as well
