September 29, 201312 yr +1 Dave. I appreciate having the entire set of manuals on the B777. It's interesting and I become a better sim pilot and hobbyist understanding all the aspects of the aircraft. But to your point, I want to understand the aircraft as how it relates to MS FSX first. More than anything I hope we get a structured manual set in future products with a logical layout... the Boeing set is a mess with indexes and revision history and bulletins. And I really hope I never get a RTM answer when asking a question on the forum.... that will be hard to contain myself. The Boeing manuals are certainly not a mess, they follow a structured and logical order. Everything in FCOM vol 2 is split up by system too. For PMDG to write another manual reproducing this as a series of separate documents would be a costly waste of their time. If you need the manuals split up by system, try smartcockpit.com. Pretty much the same information but split into separate pdf files. As for revision history, etc, that's all part of it being a live document which Boeing update and maintain. Easy to simply ignore those pages. The fact that the official manual can be used as a reference for the systems as simulated by PMDG is a great endorsement of PMDG's fidelity. You don't have to read the whole manual. Treat it as a reference book, read the bits you need. I find the pdf text search is more than enough for that purpose.
