Update of the M-2000C Manual

[Azrayen]

It is indeed :)

[Charly_Owl]

Very very much so. :)

[baltic_dragon]

Thanks guys. We're almost there, final touches!

[Esac_mirmidon]

Great news !!

 

Thanks

Does the new manual include bookmarks?

[baltic_dragon]

Yup. In the table of content and in the text too.

[Frederf]

Sorry, I do not mean hyperlinks. I mean bookmarks like this:

[baltic_dragon]

Hm, not sure if these are added automatically - I worked on pages and made each section a separate bookmark (as these also work as hyperlink anchors within a doc), I will check how they show in PDF.

[Gliptal]

They're there, although they're not tiered.

[Frederf]

Normally your book development software (or even MS Word) has the ability to export your hierarchical structure in the document as pdf bookmarks. How many tiers get converted I think is an option. Say your document has 4 levels and maybe you only want to generate bookmarks from the top 2 that should be possible.

 

For me the PDF manual having (A-10C, Bf-109K-4); not having (Hawk, Ka-50); or having poor (MiG-21) bookmarks is a big impression of overall quality of presentation. For current Mirage manual it gives the impression "Oh, this is WIP."

Baltic, I’ve read that thw PCA logic and avionics are not completely accurate and Zeus wanted to re-do them. Will those changes be reflected in the upcoming manual? If not, are they being taking in consideration for a quick documents update when they are released?

When the changes are ready I will update the manual and hopefully will be able to do it at the same time as changes are released to the public. I will also include a special section on updates and changes like in real life manuals.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Thats great. Thanks

[Spetz]

It still is being reviewed, we're on page 240 out of 300, so it is a matter of a few days, perhaps a week!

 

Just checking in to see if there is an update.

 

Cheers

Hey, the manual went to RAZBAM, as I understand they are collating info in order to schedule updates/upgrades and in the meantime reviewing the manual, also in the context of future changes.

 

I am also in the process of porting training missions to NTTR and updating them to be in line with the manual, especially on checklist part etc. After that I will upgrade the Caucasus ones in the same way :)

[Esac_mirmidon]

Thats are great news. Thanks to all.

A new manual was very much needed. Thanks Baltic! :)

[uboats]

can we have the new manual here before the next update?

[baltic_dragon]

Good idea, let’s see! :)

[Thump]

Good idea, let’s see! :)

 

While I appreciate your work on it Baltic_Dragon, how was this not even considered?

[Azrayen]

You seem relatively new around here, Thump, so first: welcome :)

 

Second, don't you think it's kinda harsh?

 

Considering volunteer work on one side, plus the short time interval between DCS updates and the fact that any update/publishing is by default done through the DCS updater on the other side... ;)

Hi Azrayen :), it's more of a long time listener, first time caller thing. I've been around since Flanker and LOMAC but haven't posted much. It's more of a vocal frustration as an EA M2K, early RAZBAM supporter with what feels to be institutional lack of focus/completed product with this specific third party developer. Hence why I am appreciative of his efforts along with anyone else who has done these things out of their own time. It simply seems that these things should be a forethought and not something the customer should have to prompt.

 

Cheers,

 

Thump

Hi All. I'm new here and can't wait to read updated manual . .

Hi Thump, I understand your position and agree with you, in a perfect world :)

 

May I add that, should it have been forethought, the answer would probably have been: "any update/publishing is by default done through the DCS updater" ;)

 

(just my personal opinion)
