Gliptal Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) From the manual that comes with the latest version on the 1.5.3 stable branch. I'll keep this updated as I read through it, unless there is another similar thread I haven't found or you consider the manual to be in too much of a fluid state at the moment to warrant any fixes. STRUCTURE - pages 12-13The tables are a bit hard to read without drawn cells. - page 27First and last two lines are boldface. LANGUAGE - page 16"Information Friend of Fore control panel" -> "Identification Friend or Foe" - page 23Multiple missing articles ('a', 'an', 'the') in the engine's description, as well as linkers. It all feels a bit disjointed right now.Second sentence in second paragraph is overly long."draw backs" -> "drawbacks" - page 24"during start sequence" -> "during startup" or "during the start sequence""and or" -> "and/or" - page 27"consisting each one of" -> "each consisting of""a feeder tank and" -> "a feeder tank, and""of the cockpit the engine" -> "of the cockpit, the engine""under each wing and under fuselage" -> "one under each wing and one under the fuselage""for three" -> "for a total of three""that can duplicate total" -> "that can double the total""capability using" -> "capability, thanks to" Sorry if I sound pedantic, I do not asbolutely intend to undermine the work of the writers and translators. Hope this is helps. Edited April 28, 2016 by Gliptal
Azrayen Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I don't understand your first point. Are you saying it's incorrect? Because MAGNETO (short for magnétophone) is indeed a tape recorder (in French)...
Gliptal Posted April 28, 2016 Author Posted April 28, 2016 I don't understand your first point. Are you saying it's incorrect? Because MAGNETO (short for magnétophone) is indeed a tape recorder (in French)...You are correct, my bad. I read the label SERPAM, and a quick Google search yielded "Flight data recorded". It seems to be refueling lights instead. I apologize.
Azrayen Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) In the real aircraft, this is the SERPAM (*) switch i.e. the recorder switch. The refuel light switch is in fact the same as the refuel switch (with 3 positions). As there is no recorder implemented (for now?) in DCS M-2000C, it makes sense to use the "freed" switch as it is (refuel lights) for the time being. ++ Az' (*) Système d'Enregistrement et de Restitution des PAramètres de Mission = mission parameters recording & restitution system Edited April 28, 2016 by Azrayen
Gliptal Posted April 28, 2016 Author Posted April 28, 2016 Considering the extent of the things I'm finding, it might be easier for both you and me if I simply share a commented version of the .pdf with my findings. I'm more than happy to do this, since I intend to read the manual anyways I might as well help into making it as correct and consistent as possible. Is it something that will actually end up helping you guys, or would you rather fix (or ignore) these things internally? Just let me know. :thumbup:
