Northstar98 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Would be more convenient, what I do is I just go through all of the aircraft in Eagle Dynamics -> DCS World -> Mods -> Aircraft, make a shortcut or a copy and then place those in one folder for them all that I can quickly get to.

ngreenaway Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Tbh, for the longest time i didnt realize there was documentation.

Northstar98 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Tbh, for the longest time i didnt realize there was documentation. When i found out, i looked thru one or two manuals and then went right back to using chuck owls guides instead The problem I have is that there's a disparity in the formatting in the official manuals, which may lead to a disparity in the ease of use. For instance I find the F-16C manual essentially perfect. To give an example look at the Cold Start procedure; in the F-16C it's a table that contains the exact name of the switch as presented in the cockpit, the number in sequence, exactly what position to move the switch to, the keyboard command, a brief description of what to expect/what the switch does/a more in depth description of what to do, and most of all, a small graphic telling you what panel to find the switch. I found this way to be much more convenient to use - I wish every manual was like it.

Rudel_chw Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I just copy them onto my own library, where I can place together ED's manuals, Chuck Guides and any other documentation I can gather about each aircraft. I place this library onto a Cloud drive so that I can have access to each document from my iPad: For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

I understand that it was written by Bunyap, tough I'm not 100% sure. :thumbup: For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Buzzles Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Please consider installing documents to .../<user>Documents/DCS/<module> (or similar). A single library would be handy rather than having to find them in various subdirectories Yes, but I'd rather them just be under /Documentation in the DCS install directory, considering they're version controlled. Saves being in MyDocs is one thing, but no games should be shoving version controlled data in there. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
