*I am fully aware the site still has issues. I will try to resolve all of these over time if I feel like working on it.
Mobile support should have had a major improvement so far. I will eventually make a proper mobile version and develop the desktop versions from there, but that time is not now hehe.
I don't understand javascript at all at all lol.

*Testing branch, W.I.P. reworking the whole site.
This is early into mobile support and therefore the gallery and log overlays are disabled on mobile for now.
If you want to see everything please open this on a laptop or desktop.
Nextcloud Downloads:
Any file larger than 2GB cannot be downloaded.
This is because of a limit with Nextcloud that I still haven't figured out.
And probably never will because I'm lazy and it is almost not worth the time.

Videos:
Most of the videos videos have been downloaded from Youtube.
They can all be found in Jellyfin.

If you wish to download them:
I have transcoded at least most of them so they are compatiable with the build in windows media player.
I would still reccomend installing a 3rd party media player to ensure greater compatibility.
I personally use VLC Media Player which can be found here.

About This:

Hi :3 , I'm Michel, currently 1st years student
Technicus Mechanica in
the Aviation Competence Center.

A few months after school had started
I had the idea to try and make all my exercises,
summaries, tests, results etc, public,
In the hope that any of this may be of use to
teachers, other students or anyone else really

So that's what this is.
And I hope it may be of use
to you as well ^^
Oh and click on "Gallery" on the left side to see some cool stuff

*This is all still a work in progress.
So expect things to change over time.

Since I don't enjoy being on camera you can imagine me like this most of the time:

nayami loading

Go on, click on the image.
I dare you :3

West BV66 Simulator
(basic instructions)

The Westt BV66 Engine is a "simulator" which has some built in courses on the inner workings of aircraft engines and aerdoynamics.
If you want to go through it first ask one of the teachers if you can use it, I'd reccomend you ask Mr. Houben.

I made some very basic instructions and I trust you can figure out how the rest works as it is a simple program to operate.

Instructions can be found:

Swag Aviation Mobile Update - XX May 2024

Swag Aviation should now also work on mobile devices.
The Gallery and Log overlays are for the time being disabled on mobile.
