sc_morpheus Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Iґm wondering if there will be a printed version of the flightmanual. Would be much nicer then doing it my self. There is no for Black Shark, so guess DCS wont do it. Doas anyone know something about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikepie Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 ED are currently looking for a printer/binder big enough for the job. (tongue in cheek) A lot of people are printing it out themselves there is argument if its best to wait for the rc and rc manual before going ahead in case there are changes. i would guess that it will remain in PDF format as it would be costly to create several thousand manuals and thus drive up the cost of the final product and diminish sales. if you have access to the Beta forum there is a thread in there about it.

StrongHarm Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If you'd like to print the manual yourself this thread will explain how to print the whole thing on 168 pages using booklet style. You could have a print shop use the same concept to print it much cheaper than 8.5x11 pages with a bind. It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 There might be a printed manual sold separately, just like with DCS:BS. I don't know for sure though since that depends on whether that one actually sold enough to cover the expenses, and I don't know if it did.

Yskonyn Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 It would be a shame if it did not. I think having the option to buy a printed manual is perfect!

Vlerkies Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well they did manuals for FC/FC2, would be awesome though if they do it in colour, way better.

Nate--IRL-- Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 yes i would definatly buy a printed colour manual from ED.. +1 IIRC, if it happens, it would have to only partially in colour due to costs, i.e. only on pages that require it. That said even that may prove prohibitive and it may even have to be all monochrome. Nothing has been decided yet AFAIK.

Nate Hi Nate Personally I would be willing to pay the extra costs for a printed manual, i.e. all the pictures in colour and text where needed, agreed that some pages with no pictures wouldn't require colour. I really hate it when you pull out a manual in B/W, just makes it feel cheap if you know what i mean :) thanks Myth Custom built W10 Pro 64Bit, Intel Core i9 9900k, Asus ROG Maximus Code XI Z390, 64GB DDR4 3200 RGB, Samsung 1TB NVme M.2 Drive, Gigabyte AORUS 2080TI, 40" Iiyama Display.

However nothing is set in stone at the moment.

Vlerkies Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I always buy the manuals but full color would be preferred, the 'pdf' manuals though are of good quality so nothing stopping an individual printing their own. I was actually going to do it this week but maybe wait for the release in case there are any major changes to the manual. Its not cheap though but worth it.
