I have found Chuck's aircraft manuals invaluable on Mudspike in finding my way around the AV8B and the Hornet - superb work. Clear, brilliantly laid out and a huge amount of work goes into each. Much appreciated.

Kameraden,

 

Thank you Chuck.

 

Flashback to Nick Cole's (RIP) excellent printed manual from 2003, still have mine (way back).

 

S!

Such a shame about Nick, his manual was excellent, I still have mine too.

 

S!

So sad. I played Lock-On many years ago, but was unaware of the existence of this Enhanced Manual ... looking for more information, I found it on PDF version, this is the link:

 

http://docshare02.docshare.tips/files/5077/50776352.pdf

 

It's Introduction by Carl C. Norman is a wonderful reading, still valid today and giving insight on the events of DCS pre-history ... really worth a reading.

 

Edit: I also found here the notice of his passing: 

:cry:

Hey Chuck,

Would it be easy to place a paypal donate button on each of the Mudspike pages? I can never be bothered with Patreon each month but I'd happily donate each time I download a manual.

 

They really are excellent, thanks for all the hard work!

 

Another thing you could do is offer custom kneeboard images for things like cold starts and weapons depolyment. I've made a few of my own from screenshots of your guides.

 

Regards,
Nathan

I've started to read Chuck's manuals. This content is simply awesome. A wealth of information, and all in such a good presentation too. Hats off. You got skills, sir. Thank you.

If not already one, Chuck would make an awesome instructor. It's a very rare talent to be able to impart information - especially content that at times can be extremely dry and sleep inducing - in such a manner as to be very interesting, even entertaining sometimes. Thank you Chuck!
