Any chance for a proper manual anytime soon?

I´m not happy about all those open betas too.

 

With my little knowledge, I think it would have been better to fully finish one module at the time (Bugs would still need to be ironed out- but the module should be in a state where it truely can be regarded as a retail version).

 

I bought both the Huey, Mi-8 and F-86F (alos got the FC3 F-15 with Belsims FM) and while they seem quite complete apart from the last remaining fetures, I still feel happy for them.

 

What would be nice, would be a statement from them about how they work...

 

If there are different people involved with each project, or that those who (hopefully) work on finishing the remaining stuff, are not part of new projects.

 

I also find that ED needs to chime in here. The telling that these are 3rd part projects and they have no guilt is not true. All modules are sold on ED's website and they should have an obligation to demand 3rd party developers to fullfill their tasks.

 

Again some statement about whats going on would be good.

Maybe Belsim requires ED to add something to DCW inorder for them to finish their part.

 

I think the missing manuals comes down to the authors family issues and it´s fair to take that as the reason why the manuals are not finished yet.

 

Note that Flight Simulation is a niche genre and most FS developers has limited resources.

So if there are items on the Huey that just couldnt be completed for whatever reason right now, you would be ok on waiting for those and not having anything else from Belsimtek? You assume that them working on these new things is restricting their previous work, and that is simple speculation on your part.

With all respect to Belsimtek, at least they actual work is restricting the release of Mi-8 manual, for a year now.

 

I don´t know the reason but for me a manual is a basic part of any DCS level module.

As has been stated else where it was personal issues outside of Belsimtek that caused the delays in the manual, not their work... remember, there are real people working on these products, not robots... things happen.

 

The Mi-8 Manual is at about 75% for English, and I believe the Russian one is done...

...And is willing to spend the next few months translating several hundred technical pages of manual to English..

 

When you find someone please be sure to let Belsimtek know so we can get past all the complaining about the manual..

Well, i think many people here could help if someone ask for it. With pleasure.
