I think a good quality paper manual would be welcomed by many people.
Lets face it, in the global cost for a good DCS A-10C experience, the game and manual cost is the lowest of all the expense most people will have.
Lets consider the costs of the stuff we need to run DCS A-10C nicely.
A good computer with a good graphics card. from 700$
A nice monitor, some people uses multi-monitor. From 400$ to as much you want to spend
A joystick, some people would buy the new Thrustmaster Warthog, from 500$.
Track Ir 5, from 170$
MFD or pedals......xxxxx$
Point is, that in all this stuff the cost of the game is the cheapest thing and paying 30$ more or less sounds irrelevant considered with the other costs some people would have to have a great DSC A-10C experience.
So I would like to say that having the option of ordering a proper paper manual even at extra cost (Must be a good manual, not just a 100 page disclaimers and command list one. Think in Falcon 4.0 binded manual or similars) would be an atractive option for many serious simmers.
Of course that should be a "voluntary" option and people with lower budgets should be able to purchase the game without that extra cost. :pilotfly:
