Feuerfalke Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Nic Cole put up a real nice handbook when LockOn was released, that went far beyond the one that was present on the CD in PDF. He had reworked it, updated it to the things that were really in the Release-Version and sold high quality printed versions to the fans for about 60 USD IIRC. In February 2005 he died in a tragic car accident. I remember his wife posted the tragic news that time and she sent the remaining manuals to the ones that hard ordered a copy, despite of her grief loss.

Feuerfalke Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Awe, come on! You're in here long enough to know that we don't look for answers in the FAQ. That is really too easy. :smilewink: If you need additional native Germans to translate the manual, I'd be glad to help you out. As I am also in the Graphics / Layout-business, I'd also like to offer my assistance in that regard, but I guess ED has a staff already working on that. :shifty: MSI X670E Gaming Plus | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 64 GB DDR4 | AMD RX 6900 XT | LG 55" @ 4K | Cougar 1000 W | CreativeX G6 | TIR5 | CH HOTAS (with BU0836X-12 Bit) + Crosswind Pedals | Win11 64 HP | StreamDeck XL | 3x TM MFD

ThunderChief Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) This handbook looks realy amazing, never saw it before. There are webshops were you can get a book for less then 50€, all you need is mail them a PDF. And of course it gets cheaper the more people would order it. (And in Germany there is a law that those books will be retailed by every bookstore) So I think ED could very well make a printed manual possible. Edited July 23, 2008 by ThunderChief

Shepski Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Nic really did give a huge amount to the community with the manual... it was more work and expense then you guys realize and I hope to see his legacy continue with a quality manual that he set the standard for, included with the release of the DCS series. 1
Cowboy10uk Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Hey Shepski, Believe me i know it was alot of work, and hell I thank him from the bottom of my heart for it, It was a truly amazing job, and sadly the sort of manual thatis all too forgotten these days. Lets all keep our fingers crossed for another great manual to head our way. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

Mine was in the 50s somewhere. . . . that's actually not an advantage, though, as the first series had clip-rings that were too large for the folder they were in. Is there anyone around who can provide feedback on the official ED ring-bound Flaming Cliffs manual? It was available from the shop, but I don't know anyone who bought one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
Yellonet Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 It's been told that ED plans on releasing the manual before the actual simulation, would it be possible to release it in parts for the community as each part of the manual gets done? I understand that the manual is created as a whole but perhaps some of the different sections will be ready before the rest and maybe some sections are constructed so that they would "make sense" on their own. I know something like this would be very appreciated by the community, personally I can't wait to finally sink my teeth in at least a part of that "brick" :book: i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5

Have a credit card burning a hole in my pocket waiting for this. Don't think i've been as excited about a sim since Gunship way back when. As soon as pre order for Sim and Manual comes out, I'll have two of each please. Need to get my wingman a copy as well, at least then he won't be phoning me every two secs, asking how do we do x,y,z :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

Design Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 BS is a living product still in development. A minor change in a component may represent a change in it's respective section of the manual (for any reason: mistake on typing, better explanation, whatever); so in my honest opinion it's better to release a manual when it's at 100% done.

ED Team Wags Posted July 29, 2008 ED Team Posted July 29, 2008 Design is correct; we will not be releasing the manual until we feel it is complete and accurate. That will probably be about one month prior to the game being released.
