Thinking about... [regarding in-game object viewer]

[Asheshouse]

I ticked "I would provide info on planes" but what I really meant is I would provide info on ships --- no option for that

In my modded installation I have enabled the in-game viewer for any new ships, some with text, many just with a view of the model.

It would be nice to have the text in a popup window and be able to keep the model view on screen. At present you can only have one or the other.

Basic text with standard spec for each model, all in an agreed format would be easy and fairly quick to do. The game uses Uni-Code text for the text windows with a small number of text formatting options.

Expanded text for selected models could include service history.
There maybe issues of copyright if this text is cut and pasted from reference books without re-drafting.

Similar things could be done for Tanks and Vehicles & Artillery categories.
The latter should maybe be split into separate categories.

Just a basic spec and period of use, to an agreed format initially, with more detailed info to be added only to specific models dependant on enthusiasm.
