The Oberst has recognised our work by giving us all a "Special Ops" gong.
It was a true team effort, so I'm particularly gratified that the entire team was recognised.
Possibly the most useful part of our work wasn't just doing the research on all the aircraft; it was that we were able to come up with a systematic way for anyone else to determine the WGF stats of their favourite planes that aren't on the list.
This will be an ongoing effort as new planes are released of course, and as new data to refine our calculations comes in.
This is version 2 - we already have 2.1 planned (including bombers), and a late correction due to better data about the Roland VIa and VIb engine powers.
The stats and cards that will be available before Christmas will allow everyone a greater choice of aircraft to play with, including all the non-bombers produced by Colinwe and Kampfflieger at Shapeways, plus Skytrex, F-toys and Reviresco.
Call it a Christmas present from the Aerodrome to the membership.
Bombers will follow very shortly, hopefully before the new year. We have the stats already, but firing arcs are still under consideration.
Thanks very much to the Oberst for not just the concept, but also placing files in appropriate places and giving useful feedback to us. I think he was as surprised as we were at the amount of work involved - and the amount that our little team of habitual over-achievers was able to accomplish in such a short period.
He deserves a medal too.
