Russian Flight Manual uploaded by Chizh

[GregP]

Just to avoid any duplication of effort, we plan to release the English DCS GUI manual next week and the Ka-50 Flight Manual PDF version this time next month.

 

Thanks Wags, but there's no duplication of effort to worry about, I don't think: if I can rally these guys to it, I think we could knock out an ugly but functional FM translation within a week. :)

A robot translated flight manual gives me shivers... even if it's just a game :D

[MAThrasher]

Thanks for the manual annoucement Wags! I will anxiously await...

Thanks for finally some official word on the subject!

[GregP]

Just did the first 5 pages of the first section: http://www.box.net/shared/pdntsf99zl

 

It ain't pretty, but with some creative reading you can figure it out.

Greg,

 

Your doing a brilliant job!

Thank you...:thumbup:

Y'know, guys, in my opinion Babelish does a better translation (albeit nowhere near perfect, of course) than Google Translation. What if we broke up the translation between us? If there are 20 of us willing to work on it, that'd be 18-19 pages each: you translate, section by section, each page of your allotted part of the manual, then create a Word doc with a 1-to-1 page correspondence. Then all assembled, we'd have the Russian original manual and a page-for-page English translation. Why not try it?

 

I've just done this for the first two pages of the Table of Contents, cleaned it up a bit, and uploaded it here, took me less than 10 mins: http://www.box.net/shared/0fmjeien6o

 

Hey Greg, Yep im up for that, I think the basic babelish does 50 words max, So we break it up into 50 words segments then away we go, Though can we get it done in the 4 weeks, Before the real one comes out :D, as you can see mine translated some, Just dosnt make much sense :D

This is incredible manual. This is a new standard in PC flight simulations. And I can read some of it as is!!

[Renato71]

I think that a reference about 500-some page manual is about English version of the manual. If you compare Russian one with HOTAS pages, you will see that chapter numbers for HOTAS do not match.

 

This Russian part covers Ka-50 only, like Flying manual. The rest could be about the game itself (Quick start).

Guys,

 

Please read what was already posted:

Between now and the release of the western version, we will be releasing free content for DCS: Black Shark to include: the PDF DCS User Manual (165 pages), the PDF Ka-50 Simulation Flight Manual (400 pages), and an English-only interactive demo.

 

A printed, spiral-bound, extended 550 page Ka-50 flight manual will also be available for sale.

I don't think there's a 50-word limit - I was pasting entire pages from the Russian manual into Babelfish and it translated the entire thing: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

 

Anyway, hey look, I agree this could take forever, I just thought if we could gather a group of people willing to do 20-30 pages each (a few hours' work) we could bang it all out in a very short time. The geek factor alone seemed like enough motivation to at least propose it. :)

I guess a lot more people would buy the Russian version now and the Western later, if we had the English manual available. Well, at least I would.

 

But then, I'd also be glad if there was any official information on the whole download-thing, including price, payment and estimated date of unlocking the shop. :huh:

With the D/L looking like its delayed, maybe some whizz can translate the manual we have?...

 

Or maybe the english version can be made available to keep us all quiet?....wishful thinking!!!!

K, now you've tempted me. I never thought about the aspect of having an English manual to go off of while using the Russian cockpit. :joystick:

 

In fact, this is what I assumed we would see anyway. The fact that the cockpit seems to be almost totally English-affied in Wags's PNs is really amazing. But it is an advantange I did not count on having...

The panels are the same, the operations and procedures are the same, the flight-dynamics are the same. They just have different labels from what you would expect from the manual. Equally if you see in the English manual "push key x and y will appear on the HUD", it takes only a little time until you get used to the Russian counterpart.

 

I agree that the linear way they chose for the release is the easier way, but it most surely is not the most effective way. On a personal note adding to this: The two game companies I worked with so far, always sent betas to the raters, so the final could be released globally within 2 weeks apart at maximum. ;) But that may be just my perception.
