At least try. I know there is a lot to cover, but the answers are all there for you to see. Dead simples. Plus you might learn the answers to some other stuff whilst you are there.

I find the easiest way for me is to load them up on my phone and tablet that way I have them anywhere. When I get some spare time throughout the day I can just start reading.

Bingo - thanks Jason.

I am finding the FCOM and FCTM manuals a big taxing to read, not the length but the format.  I pity line pilots for having to read such dry subject matter.

 

Here's what I mean by way of contrast:

I haven't read the 777's FCTM, but I loved the 737NG's.

 

 

FCTM manuals

 

There's a manual for the FCTM?  :Big Grin:

(sorry, being my normal OC self - Flight Crew Training Manual Manual?)

 

In all honesty, I wouldn't read the FCOM unless you're looking for something specific.  Graze through the FCTM.  Read the Intro Manual and Tutorial in depth.

How do I print the manual to paper?? Seems the PDFs are password protected thus preventing them from being printed.

 

Are we expected to take in a 800 to 1232 page document on-screen? Really?

You do know you can flip the pages "on screen" dont you? Or you would rather destroy a tree by printing 1300 pages?

I imagine it's so you have to order the printed versions from PMDG.

Where can I find the intro manual? I am not at home this week as my mom is visiting from CT and I am staying at my brothers. I installed the 777 day after release but havent been home since. Anywhere I can download it? I checked out the pmdg web site but its not listed there yet. Thanks!

Can I pencil the odd note, and place the screen in a handy ringbinder? Don't talk tosh, son.

As you're a fan of a behemoth that burns gas at FL410 don't pretend to be an eco-warrior, either.

 

It's just more pettiness by PMDG. They obviously think I can't be trusted to print out the manual for my enjoyment. Just think of all the wrongdoing I could achieve with a printed manual from a videogame addon! 

Agreed, the manuals are such high quality, a great deal of information in them.

 

 

Where can I find the intro manual?

 

It's on your hard drive after installing the aircraft...

 

FSX Folder > PMDG > 777 folder > Manuals (or Documents, or something else obvious like that)

 

That or Start Menu - look for Operations Center

I'm amazed that about 80% of the questions in the thread have answers in the manual. Does anyone read them anymore? Reading? Like understanding letters off a page? You don't want to read the whole thing? Then use something called a search function within the PDF to find what your looking for. Its fast and easy.

Yep: Save the trees - read the pdf's!

No such luck: They only come with the installer.
