Hey there,

I have taken the time to compile the User Guide for 1.6.3 in to CHM.

You can download it from the following link:

|| DOWNLOAD ||

I do not have sufficient rank to update the wiki, so maybe someone else can do that. Hope this helps someone.

Any member should be able to update the wiki, so if you’re still having troubles, please feel free to email me via my Profile email link. Thanks for making this available =)

Hi tutmeister,

If you don’t mind my asking I was wondering how you actually made that file? Is there some kind of program that can take HTML files and catalogue them into a .chm file automatically?

Fantastic addition by the way, really nice and fast to search inside it!

Best wishes,

Mark

Hi, that is completely right. It basically takes a directory and spiders it - then compiles it, image et al, to a CHM file for easy reading.

I use pure basic, available from here.

Ah right - Windows I presume? I don’t suppose there is anything for Mac OSX is there that you know of?

Really great work on putting that file together though so thanks for that.

Best wishes,

Mark

Your welcome, it was as much to help me get to know EE as quickly as possible as helping you all out too!

Uhm, I actually don’t know anything for OSX, but only because I don’t use it myself - I think Adobe Acrobat Professional can do this too - trying their 30-day trial (263MB download) would be your best bet, I guess.

You could use parallels though…

BTW, nice to see another rotorhead doing web development. I just finished flying for the British Army in March, moved to the USA with my wife to start working for real now. Flying is maybe on the cards in a few years but I need to complete all civilian tests from scratch, so I need some cash first ha!

I think that Acrobat can do this to PDF but it never retains any of the styles unfortunately so pages end up coming out looking awful. Will have another look though.

What type have you been flying then? When you say start working for real I’m sure you were before weren’t you? Are you still in the Army in the USA then or not?

Don’t talk to me about cash. The amount my wife and I have spent through both passing our PPL(h) and now my wife is a fully qualified Flight Instructor has left us with about 2p in our pockets at the moment

Well at least now she is fully qualified now anything we make can be saved.

I was flying the WAH-64D for awhile, but my wife is American and asked me to become civilian and have a more normal life after ten years in the Army. I also flew as350 squirrel HT2 during training.

Money-wise, it is wise to come here to train, with the exchange rate. But I am now here permanently and rotary jobs in our area (Oklahoma) are few and far between (EMS and News choppers are it), but I have friends in the Police force and hope to eventually save up for and work towards gaining my ATPL(H) for use as a police pilot. It’s just hour building that is the hardest. I have never flown a piston-engined helicopter and won’t as there is no need for me to, so I end up having to rent jetranger equivelant aircraft at about $900,- an hour, which is just crazy and so I am actually doing some Cessna fixed-wing hour building for now.

The absolute ironic thing is that I live way out in the sticks and am only 200 yards from a 3000’ runway (our local municipal airfield) where the only use is cropdusters and the odd touch-n-go, but nothing lives here and we have two empty hangars!! Talk about wastage, I have to drive 1.5 hours to the local flying school in Tulsa haha.

BTW, is it just me? I have real issues trying to post on this forum. The post page will reload with a blank textfield and then if I try again it will randomly reload blank or post as it should….weird.

Just dropped the whole folder into Acrobat and it came out rather fragmented.  I’ll try and fix it up though.  As for the forum reloading, I’ve never had that problem before.

Wow Apache eh? Well the helicopters we fly are a little smaller than that and not quite as expensive but still a great experience. I’ve currently flown R22, R44, Jetranger and Squirrel. My wife flies R22, R44, Jetranger, Squirrel, Schweizer 300 and is going to start on EC120 soon hopefully. None of those have guns of course though!

My absolute dream would be to fly a Bell 222 though as I am a massive fan of Airwolf Someone over in Chicago I think it was flies for the EMS over there and they use a 222 and he said that if I went over there he may be able to get me a flight so you just never know!

Agggh!!! Planks? But they don’t go backwards!! Hope you find a heli soon or you will start getting withdrawal symptoms I would think?

You should join the web-site that my wife and I set up some time back at http:/www.helitorque.com. Even though you aren’t flying heli’s you can still get in on all the talk. Would be great to have you as a member on there.

Is this when you use the fast reply function? I sometimes get a blank form when replying if I haven’t replied for some time as the session will time out.

Best wishes,

It varies between fast reply and normal reply, to be honest. It seems to work in IE7, not so good in firefox and very intermittent in Opera 9.25.

It may be something to do with the session timing out before you hit reply but not too sure what would cause that though. Perhaps one of the moderators or someone on here will know more though.

Best wishes,

Hmm, maybe. It would be nice to figure out the problem as I want to use this module myself for a few clients. I can’t recommend something that won’t work for me though, so I’ll keep messing with various different browsers and setups. It might also be that I am on satellite internet, and although I don’t know why that would make a difference, it is the only variable in my setup that is a little abnormal.

I know that something like this has been a problem behind rotating proxies, such as what AOL or the whole of South Africa have.

sweet.
