Really? I bought the LockOn CF manual from you guys (lockon.co.uk), and shipping is not that bad.

th3flyboy Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 cant wait for this in the states, gonna have to order it when i get a chance, then take it to school and "study" it in the cafeteria during the time between classes (I'll easily turn some heads with a 500+ page game manual....)

Vosene Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) If you would like to buy directly from us then go to http://fighter-collection.com/pages/tfc/flight%20simulation/index.php However, shipping costs are very high to outside of Europe! If the book is being shipped from inside the UK to a UK address, the £5.41 for shipping is very high. A package of between 500-750g would be £2.24 second class and £2.65 first class. The high price appears to be because the only two shipping options offered are inside and outside of Europe. For those who want to order direct from TFC in the UK is it possible to get a UK shipping option added as a Paypal link? Edited May 20, 2009 by Vosene
Zorrin Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Amazon have been informed that stock is available and we are awaiting their purchase order. Which always a barrel of laughs when dealing with those Money-grabbing twits! :music_whistling: Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
zokier Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 So is the manual really available? :O The Ka-50 Black Shark: Attack Helicopter Flight Manual now available. (from TFC site)
coolts Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Doh! I’ve had it on order with Amazon for 2 months but they are still listing it as "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date". It’s been like that since day one. Now I hear TFC are selling them. Do they have stock? I have Amazon prime but would forego the £5 delivery if I knew that I would have some interesting reading over the weekend. Decisions. Decisions.

kaiserb_uk Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Same here, so I cancelled my amazon order and have ordered it from TFC. Hopefully a bit more money direct into a worthy cause.
coolts Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I agree. As long as they have updated the 'obstinate rueful balding donkey/old man with arthritis stumbling over wet traffic cones' delivery method. But hey, let’s forgive them a little tardy delivery, down with the evil capitalistic Amazon and their (free) delivery! Please Mr TFC, can you fix it for me to receive a copy of the BS manual before xmas so I don’t have to continually hatefully ALT-TAB to the PDF every time I want to know what tiny switch does what, and how to turn off the ‘eternally spinning on the spot’ device that my KA-50 seems to have been installed with instead of a ‘pointy where I want to go’ machine Regards [pilot #2], slowly angrily rotating somewhere over western Georgia whilst the enemy look embarrassingly away p.s. love BS [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 9700k | 32gb DDR4 | Geforce 2080ti | TrackIR 5 | Rift S | HOTAS WARTHOG | CH PRO Pedals

Squid_DK Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Just ordered a copy, not that expensive, and I have a one week vacation starting this sunday, so with a little luck I will get my copy in the middle of next week.

th3flyboy Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Anyone know when Amazon US or gogamer will have it (I really can't afford 50 bucks for a manual right now) Current Sims: DCS Black Shark, Falcon 4.0, X-Plane 9, Steel Beasts Pro PE, IL-2 1946, ArmA 2, FSX, Rise of Flight, EECH, Harpoon 3 ANW, CSP
Amuro Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Ordered from TFC also. The shipping for out of Europe isn't that bad, it's actually cheaper than ordering from amazon UK.

-fox- Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Same here, I rather pay the additional 5€ than having to wait for who knows how long.
coolts Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 To be honest, for a Manual that weighs in at around .8kg (according to Wags post), £5 delivery is reasonable. Bought Lomac:FC Manual from TFC previously and they are very reliable. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 9700k | 32gb DDR4 | Geforce 2080ti | TrackIR 5 | Rift S | HOTAS WARTHOG | CH PRO Pedals
blaster454 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I, too, would rather give the money to TFC. But my question is not on the shipping costs but rather on the shipping transit time. I am in the US and with Amazon prime can have 1- or 2-day shipping at little to no cost. What would the shipping method and transit time be from the UK to the USA?

According to my previous experience, they usually use airmail, so it takes about a week.
