The Darkwind community Wiki is now live, courtesy of Marrkos (thanks mate!)

You'll find a link in your Community menu on the website. If it's not there, do a browser cache refresh.

Or you can just get to it here

Input from all you veterans would be very welcome..

Brilliant contribution, Markkos. You can be sure I'll be inputting my input on the wiki, even though I don't really qualify as "vet" yet.

Aha, I see the wiki has no entry on the Darkwind Gazette...

This is a great news.
I'm very happy and excited to see such players managed WIKI taking off.
It will be a strong addition to the game. :cyclops:

Nice job whoever has tried to define the real-world equivalents of the cars - they're almost all correct ;-)

You know, many of us have been discussing this ever since we started playing Darkwind. And I'm sure you knew all along that we would

(It wouldn't surprise me if this clever thought was one of the original concepts behind Darkwind)

Me, knowing absolutely nothing about cars in the real world, nor having a driver's license, usually just point to Volvos and try to convince me pal Rhalp that they bear some resemblance to Symphonies. But Rhalp has quite a few theories. We shall try and contribute to that list.

Rest assured we will try until are chassis types are known to us, Sam! And, then, you will hafve no choice but to implement more!

Heh, I wrote the real world equivalents list.

The level of my real-world car knowledge is similar to Ayona actually and I mostly figured it out from the filenames.

What I do know I've mostly gotten from playing a lot of racing games and watching Initial D (racing-anime).
This, I imagine this would make me an extemely dangerous driver in real life. :P

I think this would also be a good time and place to encourage players to update / add entries to the official darkwind wiki entries, I've added to several missing articles there in the past couple of days, but there's still a lot that could be done.
(Could we perehaps get a list of missing and/or short entries there?)

And the wikipedia entry on darkwind at

Could very possibly use some love aswell.
