StreetcarCoke Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Is a printed copy of the A-10C manual going to be available for purchase, much like the printed manual for the BlackShark was? Been waiting a long time for a righteous simulator like this thanks. Cheers, StreetcarCoke
WynnTTr Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Just sneak it in at work. I renamed the pdf to "Policy" and then printed it out. That way if one of our network guys were to check the print queue or whatever, they'd think it was something I was working on. =)
S D Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Sneaky :) Luckily when printing mine out the boss took a keen interest then started reading it :lol: Really didnt do too much more work after that.
PlainSight Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 You can check some copy and printing companies for prices, you should get the A5 black/white book for about 60 $. This is a good example: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1151958&postcount=24 [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

StrongHarm Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 It took a while for the Blackshark manual to become available. Unlike true milspec tech pubs, they can't ship you periodic tech revisions to be added to the folder. I would speculate that once this evolving product is more evolved, a printed manual will be available. In the meantime here's a way to save paper: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=59172 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
Itkovian Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I went to staples and had mine printed on normal letter paper, but with 2 pages per side, then spiral bound along the top (with the "back side" of each sheet reversed so I can read 4 pages at once by keeping it open). It cost me around 40$ in black and white, plus about 10 bucks to get a few things laminated (HOTAS layout, mission and 9-line callsheets, keyboard instructions). Well worth it if you ask me. It turns out the binding is more robust than Black Shark's manual, in fact, though the paper is not nice and glossy. The one thing to consider is that it does make the writing rather small, but not unmanageable. They could probably have zoomed in a little, too, as there are large margins inherent in the file, but either way I can handle it easily enough. I certainly would not have been able to play without a manual, so it was a worthwhile expense (not that most people agree... but then again most people don't understand the allure of study sims *grin*).

tmahring Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Thats what I did after printing the manual with my laser printer: http://www.bubibrand.de/downloads/binden.pdf Its in german but the pictures should be enought to understand the process. Use wood glue to bind the papers. Instead of the linen strip I just used some duct tape.
