ED Team Solution Raptor9 Posted July 24, 2022 ED Team Solution Share Posted July 24, 2022 No ETA yet. The individual that's been hired for manual writing is in the process of assembling/reviewing all the required information for the past year of updates to the module. It's a lengthy process of not only adding new sections for new features of the module, but reviewing existing sections of the manual to ensure they accurately reflect current functions and behaviors that may have evolved over time. 3 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

Dragon1-1 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 The new guy is probably remaking the whole damn thing to fit with how he thinks a manual should be written. Then again, this might not be a bad thing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulredrel Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Glad I found this thread. Watched some of Wags latest update videos and wondered why my manual in the docs folder dates back to 2021. I can imagine trying to find somebodies work and have to re-write or redo things is not an easy job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted October 19, 2022 ED Team Share Posted October 19, 2022 Hello everyone, I'd like to provide an update regarding the F-16C manual's status. The F-16C manual has been under review and revision since the first week of August, with a lot of effort devoted to not only new sections for features that have come to the DCS: F-16C in the past year, but to improve the existing sections to the quality expected of DCS Manuals. As such, here is one such example of an improvement: Existing EXT Lighting Control Panel section Updated EXT Lighting Control Panel section Additionally, the intent is to not just explain how to operate a panel, but to explain (when appropriate) how these systems function within the simulated tactical environment of DCS World. Here is an excerpt from the new ECM section. Throughout this process, it has been necessary to review the existing text to: Identify any shortcomings of the existing manual content. Identify any inaccuracies of the existing manual with regards to the current functionality in game. Test the procedures and explanations within the new/revised manual content to ensure it reflects the current state of the DCS: F-16C. This manual revision is intended to be as thorough as possible; but at the same time, we recognize the need to push new and up-to-date information as soon as possible is an important aspect for the players. As such, the plan will be to release these updates in stages, so that completed chapters or sub-sections are released when able. Currently the plan is to release the following completed sections in the first edition of updates: Updated DCS: World Fundamentals and F-16C Weapons chapters. Updated Cockpit Overview chapter. This chapter alone has grown from 16 pages to 40. With thorough descriptions for every switch, button or analog gauge functionality. Updated Hands-On Controls (HOTAS) section to reflect new capabilities and logic. More thorough explanations of contextual HOTAS commands and logic will still be needed in each individual sensor or weapon chapter of course. Updated HUD and HUD Control Panel section. Updated and expanded Defensive Systems chapter to include additions for the ECM pods and more thorough and accurate explanation of the countermeasures logic with regard to the CMS commands on the control stick and the CMDS panel settings (The explanation of the CMDS Modes logic alone is now 1.5 pages to capture all the aspects of its logic, with the Defensive Systems chapter grown from 6 pages to 16). Updated and expanded Appendices to include updated ALIC codes, RWR abbreviations, HAS tables, and HAD threat classes, among others. Additional sections that are currently works-in-progress at varying states of completion, but are also intended to be released in the first edition of updates: New chapter covering the HARM Targeting System (HTS pod). Updated and expanded section explaining the ICP and various DED pages (this one in particular is quite the task). Updated section covering the basics of MFD operation, specifically the Horizontal Situation Display (HSD) MFD format. This final list is not all-encompassing of everything that is WIP, but rather the most crucial highlights that are being actively worked on for completion. After the first update edition is finalized, other sections such as the FCR, TGP, and various weapons will be undertaken as well. Ultimately, this is a labor of passion that will hopefully be worth the wait to all of you fellow virtual Viper pilots out there. Respectfully, Raptor 21 18 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man. DCS Rotor-Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
