Guys, I'd like some suggestions (and perhaps help) in organizing this list.

And naturally, more links are welcome :)

Great sticky, good work lads:up:

Well that was quick are you going to be available for addins and updates.
as such?

And thanks also for all the work.:up:

MM

dead links I took out and updated a total of five on my list on the other
thread and pm'd everybody else that had a bad link (only two)

I remember this one is dead and I checked it it is.
the correction may show up here or on the original
thread Im not sure so I wil stay subscribed to the
original for a bit.


-Fura s h i t a ' s Fleet http://www.combinedfleet.com/fura****a/furamain.htm#ijn

MM

Good start. My only suggestion would be to make the overal headings-the ones that are separate and group groups together-bigger.

Also, on that Fura****a link, is there some reason for the gaps...Fura s h i t a ' s Fleet?


[edit]
Never mind, I can see the logic now.:rotfl:

I don't think that link will work unless we use some redirector like http://tinyurl.com/ :hmm:

I had a few of mine that were dead but just
needed the page taken off the end of the
url to get into the still existing homepage

I sent pm's for the bad links I found

Ill have to go over whats here
I think you ended up including
my bad links as we seem to have
been working simultaneously at that
point.

MM

Unknown ? Bad language filter maybe.:hmm:

Does anybody know a data source for the complete KM quadrants system?

What I mean is a file that stores the quadrant coordinates in coordinates, not just a web page with some reference material ..

I know there is the KM Grid converter, but it doesn't come with any help in using the provided .bin file. I might contact the author about his permission / help to use it though ..

Anybody knows something?

And yes, great idea this thread. I have already found some long needed information through it, like the link to the Romanian WWII vessels.

Great stuff!

GE

Excellent Thread!!
 

The French nalval arcives is a GOLD MINE for me!!!

Thank you ever so much:D

Yes great link that one
If only I knew French
:rotfl:
Be easier to navigate

Thats a Damned UnEnglish thing to Say............

lol
Well I learnt German at school

How times change
My girls learn French and Italian - oh and German too
:rotfl:

Wouldnt be a bad idea if they were taught English now and again

Better get their Mum to teach them.:rotfl:
