TomDK Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Would also order one if in one book or folder. Great work ....

Looking forward !! :thumbup: Cheers Tom My old, sold, pit: http://bilder.einzelart.de/thumbnails.php?album=74&page=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daze Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi reaper, how much do you think it would cost including P&P for a manual and postage to Belfast? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0utLAW Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hey guys, whats the latest on this? I was about to order a b/w copy from mimeo and the instant estimate for $20 bucks grew to just under $60. Is this what others have paid or is this a little pricey? I've attached a copy of the NOT YET PURCHASED invoice with what I would order. I put it in a 3" D-ring binder with the front cover in color and 11 card stock tabs for different sections. i7-8700k 3.70mhz|64GB DDR4 G.SKILL Ripjaw V 3200|ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 8G GDDR6|AsRockZ390 Extreme4|2 Samsung 870QVO 1TB, 1 Samsung 860 QVO 1TB, 1 Samsung 860EVO 500GB|Corsair 750D|Corsair H-100i|Corsair AX750|LG 34GN850-B|Acer UT241Y|TM Cougar MFDs| Buddyfox UFC|TM Warthog HOTAS(Modified Spring/Slew Control Stick, Upgraded PCB, Stick Extension)|Saitek Combat Pedals|Corsair Nightsword|Corsair K70|TrackIR5|Custom A-10C Panels| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0utLAW Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Any updates regarding a date for a printed manual?

reaper7 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hi outlaw, Work is coming along nicely at the moment. ED have kindly given me the editable versions of the manuals - so I'm now converting them over to A5 size. So the result is a much better fitting manual (the ones I printed were just scaled to A5 size (Had big borders top and bottom)). Also I have sourced a supplier for A5 Binders that are thick enough to fit the complete manual and Menu editor Manual into 1 binder. Hopefully I should be good to start printing soon.

Are you going to split them up into two binders or keep it to just one?

reaper7 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sounds awesome! Are you going to split them up into two binders or keep it to just one? Also any idea for a cost shipped to CA? Will be in 1 Binder now - trying to make this as close to the Binder that was available for Falcon 4 when it was released (one of the best Flight Manuals I've ever seen). Haven't got a price yet for delivery worldwide finalized, but 'An Post' (local Post) were charging me almost 25euro to deliver it registered to America/Canada (weight is close to 1.3KG). Have yet to get quotes for couriers so may be cheaper. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONE of the best? Which was better? I'll admit I don't own all sims but of the ones I do Falcon 4.0 was best by far, it's still on my shelf. In fact there's alot of good info that may help with the A-10, certainly alot of things that people seem to have trouble understanding are explained more clearly in that manual. IIRC there's also alot on missle avoidance etc. I still have the reflex to beam a missle! (No dig at DCS, this sim is much more compicated so no room in manual for explanation, strategy etc. as there was in F4.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker121 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) You can count me in for an order. Just keep it mind it's probably a good idea to set a minimum number of people and order in bulk. For example, ordering via Staples, it is something like $60 per copy if you order them individually, whereas if you were to order 20 of them it only costs $25 per copy. EDIT: Mimeo specifically has a %50 discount for your first order, so that might be great for individuals to order via as well, considering that most people probably have never ordered from them before. Still might be cheaper just to order in bulk though, who knows. Edited April 13, 2012 by Striker121 New info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker121 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 When you finish converting the manual and start taking bulk orders, I'd recommend you set up a Kickstarter or something. That way you can simply set a minimum "donation" amount of $20, simply an example, to receive a copy of the manual and at the same time set a minimum order size by setting a money goal. That way you solve all the issues of minimum order sizes and getting money together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much cheaper to buy the Ink and print myself :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrozier Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Any word on when you'll start producing the manuals? (I know you have a real life, but starting to get antsy :>) Lone Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper7 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Quick update: I have secured a small order to have the Binders custom made and printed. While to get this done normally requires a minimum order of 2000 units, but I have managed to find one that will do me a small print run (Putting in as a test run) of 200 units. Only snag is I have to get them posted by Sea Freight due to cost so they will take a while to arrive. The end cost will be slightly dearer than the plain presentation binders I previously showed. But I think you'll agree the difference will be well worth it. Once I receive them, I'll post a new thread to take names of those interested. I'm reckoning final cost will be between 50euro and 65euro depending of location for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper7 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Update Hi Guys have an update: Just received these pics from the printers - all printed and ready to ship by freight. They look Outstanding and exactly what I hoped for - just like the falcon4 binder (Pretty mush the same size too being A5 Format.) Once I have them I will be ready to go :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Stay Tunned. :joystick: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
