ericinexile Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 A question for those who've received their manuals. What exactly is covered? Personally I think the pdf covers the helicopter sufficiently but I would be interested in having a printed reference of vehicles and weopons similar to (but hopefully improving on) the in-game encyclopedia. Smokin' Hole My DCS wish list: Su25, Su30, Mi24, AH1, F/A-18C, Afghanistan ...and frankly, the flight sim world should stop at 1995.
bumfire Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) their is a downloadable file telling you what all the manual covers http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=39994 Their sadly isnt any descriptions and 3d views and silhouette's of ingame vehicles/planes/boats etc which is a shame as that was one of the MAIN items in the manual that I would of liked, but I already knew all about or mostly knew about all the vehicles, but it would of been nice for silhouette views for them all. I know the manual costs a fair bit, but the shipping was £8 I think, but they only used I think it was £3.50 worth of stamps to send it to me, so the shipping was only £3.50 in my case evn though I paid £8 for it, so the extra fiver could of been used for object descriptions and pictures/silhouettes etc :) I dont mind about the shipping costs and I am not moaning about it as the manual is a great read and I think its well worth the 19 quid i paid for it but it would of been EVEN better had it been made into a proper book instead of spiral bound, as spiral bound nearly always results in a few pages getting ripped out sooner or later, well they do with me, not sure if thats the same as everyone else ? Thats why I am thinking about buying a second copy so that I can use one copy and not really care if it gets tatty etc and the odd page comes loose, and keep the second copy shrink wrapped so that it can last into the future, as I have hundreds of military/aviation books and manuals and I just love keeping them in mint condition and its going to be hard to do that to a manual that is used day in day out.
