virgo47 Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 Hello ED! For months I was wondering why you don't update the User Manual, because I've been working with this until now: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/dcs_user_manual/ This is what I get to when I google the DCS manual, the filename even says 2020, but it's obviously old. Today I accidentally found the manual in DCSWorld/Doc folder (~40MB version with much more up-to-date screenshots). Please, can you do something with that download page? It's confusing and I can't believe it's difficult to update it or obsolete it somehow. I wonder how many other people work with that ancient manual. Cheers L-39, F-4E, F-5E, F-14, F/A-18C, MiG-15, F-86F, AJS-37, C-101, FC2024 Yak-52, P-47, Spitfire, CE2 UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50 III, SA342 NTTR, PG, SY, Chnl, Norm2, Kola, DE Supercarrier, NS430, WWII, CA VKB STECS+Gladiator/Kosmosima+TPR DCS Unscripted YouTube "Favourite" bugs: 1) Object local camera fast/slow inverted, 2) Yak-52 toggles not toggling, 3) all Caucasus ATC bugs

Cheers hello. with each update, docs are updated if any are available. \Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Doc. each aircraft also has the latest doc for that aircraft. \Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AIRCRAFTNAME\Doc AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

virgo47 Posted August 15, 2022 Author Posted August 15, 2022 Thanks for the info, I know that now. I'm just pointing out that there is readily google-able obsolete manual which only leads to confusion. It's on the same list as other airplanes, etc. It's good that it's also offline, of course. But I doubt I'm the only one mislead by the offered download. Many people go online first before looking into their folders on disk.

virgo47 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Posted August 16, 2022 I am IT by trade as well. Programmer - and my family asks me to fix their computers... obviously. I actually like downloading manuals even before buying the products - sure, DCS costs nothing (except 100MB on the disk), but this seems like a cheap shot at a quality appearance, wasted opportunity that should cost little to nothing really. It should have been automated. 2 L-39, F-4E, F-5E, F-14, F/A-18C, MiG-15, F-86F, AJS-37, C-101, FC2024 Yak-52, P-47, Spitfire, CE2 UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50 III, SA342 NTTR, PG, SY, Chnl, Norm2, Kola, DE Supercarrier, NS430, WWII, CA VKB STECS+Gladiator/Kosmosima+TPR DCS Unscripted YouTube "Favourite" bugs: 1) Object local camera fast/slow inverted, 2) Yak-52 toggles not toggling, 3) all Caucasus ATC bugs
