Freeroamer Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Just looking to see who would be interested in getting one. If multiple people prove to be interested then it may be possible to get a bulk discount from some sort of printing house. F.Y.I: It's the A1-F18AC-NFM-000 (2008) that we're considering printing here which is 904 pages including a front cover and a blank back cover Edited January 17, 2018 by Freeroamer 1
Revvin Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I miss the old glossy manuals we used to get, depending on price I'd be interested if it were possible to be shipped internationally, I think I still have Nic Cole's LOMAC manual here somewhere.

Scoggs Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I already have a hard copy of the NATOPS printed, but I would love a hard copy for the DCS Hornet. That way, everything that applies to the sim is in there and I don't have to guess as to if X feature is modeled.

DDSSTT Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 +1, Your best bet would be to get a price quote for say 100 copies once we know how many pages it would be in both B&W and Color. Then we could go from there. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.csg-2.net/
Jethro11 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I would get a copy too. Still have my hard copy Lomac book too.
Mitthrawnuruodo Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 How would it be possible to overcome the problem that the manual becomes obsolete every time an update changes features of the module?
Max_Rogue Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 How would it be possible to overcome the problem that the manual becomes obsolete every time an update changes features of the module? It would have to wait until full release, when the full manual comes out. Me, personally? I'll wait until Chuck makes his guide, and print that, and probably just keep the full manual in digital form. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

drPhibes Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I'm interested if it's done properly (spiral bound) and the price is right.
Ocelotunit Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I got a paperback copy of the A-10C manual from Lulu for about £30. I've since printed all of Chucks Guides at Doxdirect for about £10 a pop. A lot of places won't touch anything over 400 pages unfortunately. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
Freeroamer Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Alright. I'll start looking for prices. So far we've got 15, I was planning making copies based on the A1-F18AC-NFM-000 version of the Manual which seems to be the most relavant as it is dated 2008 Edited January 17, 2018 by Freeroamer
outlawal2 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Yep interested "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO
Freeroamer Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 I did a bit of investigation and I've managed to find a place that is doing them for around 40 USD each + whatever I need to pay to have it shipped.
Freeroamer Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 If possible can everyone that is interested please include their Countries and if VAT applies to them.
*Rage* Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I have Nic Cole's LOMAC manual too. Great condition still. It was very well made. Still have it too! Sadly he passed away shortly after. Alright. I'll start looking for prices. So far we've got 15, I was planning making copies based on the A1-F18AC-NFM-000 version of the Manual which seems to be the most relavant as it is dated 2008 Just to be clear are you printing a real life manual or the DCS one? If possible can everyone that is interested please include their Countries and if VAT applies to them. Count me in. UK. Im sure VAT applies.

Ocelotunit Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I was planning making copies based on the A1-F18AC-NFM-000 I'd be interested in the DCS manual, not the real one. That manual has no mention of a lot of important systems and no weapons whatsoever. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
*Rage* Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Oh yes. DCS manual only.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22
Freeroamer Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 So what are people more interested in? The iRL one? Or the DCS one?
jrsteensen Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I'd be interested in a copy of the DCS manual once fully completed. Hardcopy NATOPS isn't particularly useful due to the missing info for weapons and several other subsystems. (Though it is my bible for the pitbuild I am designing at the moment.)
