I love the manual! but if i read it all the way through at once, i would have forgotten half the content bye the time i finished LOL (mainly what joystick and throttle button do what, since i set up my controls as close as i could to the real thing... using the manual :P ) Sooooo i like to do the training missions, then reinforce learning with the sections of the manual pertaining to what the mission covered.... but everyone learns differently, and plays differently. It amazes me on how many times i'll be flying along then i cant freakin remember what dang joystick button does a certian thing which i need in that very moment LOL drives me nuts. CRAP was it the Boat switch or China hat that did that thing i needed. or was it on the coolie hat, AUUUGH lol :D
