  1. Another manual and another missed opportunity. As I have commented before, the manual does not have a tagged table of contents. What a shame this is still happening. I've offered help in the regard before but always deaf ears in DCS.
  2. I agree. I think the manual file location is a by-product of how ED gives you the info based on the modules you own rather than a manual for every module available. They seemed to choose the lesser of all evils for practical reasons.
  3. @draconus, You definitely misread what I wrote. I was not suggesting "to just copy it"
  4. One thing I find odd about DCS is the aircraft are modeled based on their real life counter parts as close as possible. Why wouldn't the Pilot manuals modeled the same way? A WWII pilot would have had a pilot manual as it was formatted back in that era. If you're gonna simulate the aircraft, why not simulate the manual to make the experience more immersive? As a professional Tech Writer, this stuff is a glaring issue to me...
  5. Hi Eagle Dynamics, If you need help with manuals and technical documentation, let me know — It's what I do. Here is a link to a guide that accompanies Matt Wagner's DCS: AH-64D | Helmet Display tutorial as a sample: https://daviddimartino.files.wordpress.com/2021/11/dcs-ah-64d-3.pdf This was made with Adobe Framemaker and was modeled after module manuals when I set up the template. It is "Left page, Right page", ISO standard B5 size, formatted and can be published in multiple formats. I may not have gotten all of the acronyms right but I tried. Take a look (it has tagged bookmarks for easy navigation) and let me know what you think.
  6. Hi Eagle Dynamics, Is it possible to get tagged pdf's of manuals going forward? As aircraft are getting more sophisticated the manuals are getting bigger and it would be nice to have bookmarks that coincide with the table of contents to quickly navigate the document. Thanks
