ryuzu Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Be nice to have something to flick through - or maybe not without the actual software! However, with the sudden change of plans with the download version etc etc I suspect we won't see this until the full release. r.
leafer Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Actually, ryuzu, that announcement in Cosmonaut's post came after the 'sudden change of plans'. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
DTWD Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Is there really any point in releasing what will most likely only be a reference guide? There is only so much you can say about the gui, unless of course it's the KA-50's cockpit to which the manual refers. Also isn't this just helping the people who have pirated it? Surely it's best to not release anything until about a week (at most) before the demo? Regards Paul Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Airway Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Are we going to.... I'm not going anywhere. I will stay home tonite.
GranCalvo Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I would like to buy a printed manual, is there would be any?
ED Team JimMack Posted November 2, 2008 ED Team Posted November 2, 2008 I would like to buy a printed manual, is there would be any? Yes - we will sell a printed manual. We can not yet declare a price until we go final and get a quote from a printer. But I can say from recent personal experience, it will be a lot cheaper than the cost of the print cartridges that you will use to print our the pdf! Having problems?

ryuzu Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Actually, ryuzu, that announcement in Cosmonaut's post came after the 'sudden change of plans'. Really? I didn't see the original announcement, but the quote was dated 10-16 (I presume the 16th of October) - since the full release was the 17th of October, I don't think the news of piracy and the subsequent "change of plans" had occurred at that time. Who knows? Not me! Either way, I doubt helping pirates with an English manual over the web is in the game plan any more. r.
Cosmonaut Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I think by the time Wags said that ED were aware of a pirated copy, however I wouldn't hold my breath for anything until it's announced and you've downloaded the manual. Until then anything and everything could change although I assume that seeing as ED are now trying to get the demo ready for this side of Christmas, they are working on an assumption of "idle hands.." ;) so to keep us kids out of mischief they're going to want to give us some stuff to play with until Santa brings us the real Ka50 down the chimney.

And it ain't that bleeping hard to translate it to English -- in fact, there was a thread here where several people collaborated in translating the manual to Eng. Ahh that's true. In fact I think someone on here already psoted a link to a translated version of the Russian manual(s). I haven't looked at it - seems like an exercise in frustration without some buttons to press - but it was around here somewhere. r.

I doubt the manual could be sold, including shipping world wide, for cheaper than you could print it out yourself. Ink off of ebay is real cheap and perfect for documents. I'm not saying it isn't worth it .. the extra 150 pages and the fact you get an official manual is going to make it great value for money to have, but for a lo0n like me I just enjoy printing these manuals out myself. :) Cozmo.

Renato71 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I'm among those that are awaiting for announced earlier release of ENG manuals. There is no reason why they should not be released, because you will need them for demo. Unless there will be NO demo at all :( As for translating into languages other then those that will be officially release with DCS, check out this thread: DCS localization effort I'm selling MiG-21 activation key. Also selling Suncom F-15E Talon HOTAS with MIDI connectors, several sets. Contact via PM.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
159th_Viper Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 ....but for a lo0n like me I just enjoy printing these manuals out myself. :) Aye - same here :thumbup: I am in the fortunate position of not havin' to bother about the cartridges......there's always plenty :D Helps due to the fact that personal preference dictates that I have separate manual chapters bound in separate ring-binders.......saves having to paw through an entire manual when looking up specific points. And in all probability BS will be treated no differently, so looking forward to printing......... Any idea as to when we can expect the manual to be released?

ED Team Wags Posted November 3, 2008 ED Team Posted November 3, 2008 We are still planning on releasing the manuals. In fact, over the weekend I sent in what I hope are the final texts for final formatting and conversion to PDF.

CrashEd Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Very good news indeed. Having this released soon, along with the demo, will certainly make the time go quicker between now and the western release.
