Excellent news.

 

I'm really looking forward to diving into the campaign, but I'll been holding off until the manual's made available.

 

Now I might just wait until the manual AND EDGE become available. :)

[Flagrum]

No, I think we'll have the manual out next week. I was originally going to say this week, but that's probably not very likely and I don't want to end up with my foot in my mouth (again). If there are any further delays, we'll at least provide a working draft so you know it's in progress.

What are the new plans for releasing a draft or final version of the manual?

Probably right around the time its ready....

Even if it is not the final version - but it would help immensely to get to know the Hip better .....

 

 

(Please no replies here like "Soon" or "When it's ready". I get a moderator to delete it as spam - I am dead serious.)

 

I guess, the last sentence is moot in this case?

 

Anyhow, my latest experience in this thread was that sarcasm is frowned upon. So please don't push it ... or entice me. Thanks. :o)

It wasnt sarcastic, its purely fact, that when he is ready to release it, he will, asking over and over again wont help answers magically appear.... creating a manual, and checking it for content and etc is a pretty heavy duty project... fact is, soon as its ready to be released it will be... no sarcasm there.

Just want to chip in here quickly. We indeed built up some ground to make up and we do see the signs of frustration. We will not leave any of our products "hanging" with major incomplete features. By major features I mean whole elements like training missions and manuals. These will be completed and updated where necessary. Some code features like AI gunners, sling loads or engine overheat are by their nature more fluid and difficult to pin down, but still I believe we will accomplish all of our goals and planned features. Ultimately our stake is in producing quality products and even if with some growing pains, we will work to meet the standards we set for ourselves and we know you expect of us.

 

This year has turned out particularly challenging in that we ended up falling behind on some key features while making unusually quick progress on developing numerous technologies, modules, and projects. On the one hand it's very exciting to see DCS technology and product variety develop at this faster pace, on the other hand it further extended our deficit. We are making adjustments (for example now have more hired staff to work on document translation) and will complete everything we set out to.

Good to hear that this is finally being addressed.

 

Still desperately looking forward to the proper Mi-8 manual. I try really hard to be patient and upbeat, but it's been over a year since I bought the Mi-8 and I'm starting to get pretty frustrated at still not having enough documentation to be able to understand and perform basic functionality such as navigation.

 

I'm hugely impressed with Belsimtek and really want to see them continuing to develop and release excellent modules, but the lack of documentation is a massive frustration for me.

 

I appreciate that I'm unlikely to get an answer on this, but is there any possibility of ballpark release date for the full English manual?

 

Pretty please.

I agree with all of this. I also would really, really like to have some idea of when the manual, even a rough copy, might be available.

It would seem that someone did in fact end up with his foot in his mouth...

I´m gonna spare you my (unconstructive end user) thoughts on this subject...

We are working in the combat employment section now, everything else has been translated. Will still need some editing, proofing and formatting work after the translation itself is done, but it's getting completed.
