Distiler Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Why include the extended flight manual manual in pdf? is it because delays with spanish versión? (just arrived at stores this week). A thanks is in order if that is the case. So, is it also free? can we share it? PD: I'm referring to the pdf version of the extended 15 chapters flight manual that is being sold in paper. PD2: now seems ED has uploaded extended versions of the english, german, french and spanish manual for free!: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=2199&scr=products&lang=en Edited August 6, 2009 by Distiler AMD Ryzen 1400 // 16 GB DDR4 2933Mhz // Nvidia 1060 6GB // W10 64bit // Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2
Kwill Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I really want to know if it's possible to share the Spanish manual, I bought the Russian download version and the English box version, do I really need to buy Spanish version just for a manual?
bumfire Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 The extended paid for manual IS NOT in pdf format as far as I know and ED said they have no intention to do so. So I suspect that the spanish manual is just the same as every other pdf manual, if I recall their is 2 versions of the pdf manual, the first one was replaced by another version that was slightly more upto date if I recall correctly, maybe thats what they mean by extended manual ??? But ED have always denied that they would hand out the paid for binder manual in pdf format and I cant see the spanish version of dcs getting it and noone else, it isnt even on the dcs website as a free download, so I think the extended manual you speak of is the second version of the pdf manual that was made to clear up some errors and bring the manual slightly more upto date.
Distiler Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 No it's not the same. It's the extended flight manual with 15 chapters instead of 9 and 552 pages instead of 383 of the english version. Also, it's translated to spanish. I'm surprised too. AMD Ryzen 1400 // 16 GB DDR4 2933Mhz // Nvidia 1060 6GB // W10 64bit // Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2
korrea Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Yes, extended manual is included spanish BS version. I can confirm it.
bumfire Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Ed must of released it then ?, either deliberatly or they sent the wrong file to the game CD copiers and the manual then found its way onto the dvd. I paid for my manual and tbh, I dont mind if its out there released in pdf format as getting it printed like the way ed has done is gunna eat up tons of paper and ink and if you get it done for you its gunna cost about as much as it costs to buy from ed if not more. No harm in letting people have the proper manual as it really doesnt add anything new to the sim if you ask me so their is no big secret to the manual, its nice to have as an actual book but as a pdf manual I rate it as I rate the original and thats with a zero cuz I hate all pdf manuals simply because I like to play and access a manual at the same time without having to alt+tab in and out of game every 2 seconds :(
mascota Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Spanish extended PDF flight manual Hi to all: Mates of ED, if you have ready the spanish extended PDF flight manual, please, sell it to us, in download version. :thumbup: I bought BS in DVD and the hard copy manual, but, will be helpful if I get the spanish translation. :book: I hope that ED find the way for sell this file to the people that support you. Regards (Saludos)
ESA_MistrL Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 SHARE IT !!!!!! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!! There shouldn´t be any problem to share it, right? We are not talking about sharing software, we are talking about documentation. Please, ED, say something. Give us light about the issue. Was it a mistake? What about people that already ordered and payed for the printed version and also ordered and payed for the spanish DVD sim version? Myself for example. I bought the printed EXTENDED DCS Manual and I will buy this afternoon the boxed DVD BS spanish version. It´s, let´s say, a kind of mess. :cry::cry: Cruz de San Andres First learn to fly.

I think ED must explicitly give a written permission if you want to share intelectual property from the DVD/installation. Alltough I suspect that ED has made a mistake if the included the wrong version of the Manual - it will be hard to revert. But they can prevent you guys from distributing it - and you should of course respect that ;) Edited July 23, 2009 by Panzertard The mind is like a parachute.

But they can prevent you guys from distributing it - and you should of course respect that ;) Legally they can stop anyone from distributing it once they become aware of it, but you know how these things are, if ed made a mistake by including this manual in the spanish version then it is already out in the wilds and is already too late to stop it from being distributed. It will no doubt show up on www.replacementdocs.com pretty soon if not already, and if it doesnt show its face there like the FC manual did, then it will be shared amongst friends and invariably end up as a torrent. I think most people will agree that even if the extended manual was freely available as a download, they would of still bought the binder version of the manual regardless if it was already available as a free download, mainly because those who bought the manual want a hardback version of the manual instead of in my opinion a stupid pdf file.
Distiler Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 I doubt ED wants to put this extended version for free, it seems is a token for the long delay of spanish ka-50 version. But we don't have the normal version for free either and german, french, english and russian have it, so It would be nice if, at least, we get the 9 chapter "normal" flight manual as a free download.

Esac_mirmidon Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I think 99,99% spanish fans who bought the hard copy extended manual if they had known that the spanish DVD would include the PDF extended manual would not have bought the extended hard copy. First example me ( i have bought the russian download, english download, english DVD and extended hard copy manual ) ED should said something about the extended manual included in the spanish DVD, and if this was a mistake all the people who bought the hard copy because this was the ONLY way to get one extended may feel very....angry.

korrea Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 After 2 days of question, and ED say nothing??? It's a simple answer: Yes, you can or No, you can't :D
ESA_MistrL Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 In guess ED is absolutely PIS.....D OFF. Apparently was a big really big mistake. Otherwise we should had known, they should had let us know. And till now, SILENCE. Not a single word about the issue. I have a request for you ED guys. Give an explanation to those who bought the printed expanded version of the manual first because Spanish DVD wasn´t available in the stores. I think it´s a "must give an explanation". They got the right. Cruz de San Andres First learn to fly. Then learn to fight. [sIGPIC]www.cruzdesanandres.com[/sIGPIC]

Legolasindar Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 The most important question is. People have spanish BS, can upload extended manual in PDF for other friends download this in our squadrons? Or this extended PDF of manual cant share for others? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Cavallers del Cel - Comunintat Catalana de Simulació http://www.cavallersdelcel.cat
