Missing Documentation

[planenut 19]

Is there any documentation included with FSW?  Can't seem to find any.  Probably not looking in the right place.

There is a quick start PDF in this location <wherever you installed steam>\steamapps\common\FSW

FSW_Quick_Start_Guide_EN.pdf for english.  There are French and German ones included also.

No guide can cover everything in a simulator, some aircrafts will have their own manuals, some sceneries too. Every aspect in a simulator can be really complex. 

Steam has some guides too, but for now not many. It's up to the users to make them: https://steamcommunity.com/app/389280/guides/

I hope the default aircraft have basic manuals. At least performance charts and diagram of instruments.

OK, found it.  Thanks.

No, there are not manuals for the basic aircraft with performance charts and such.  I wound up downloading pdfs for the actual planes and the data from those charts works almost perfectly in FSW.  The DA-40 gauges read too high for for some things which has already been reported as a bug.  They just haven't gotten to it, yet.  And tool tips for the gauges in the PA-46 read incorrectly, but the gauges themselves show the correct values.

My problem with downloading actual manuals is it's hard to tell which specific model they're using and how it applies to the actual plane that is being modeled. A2A chooses a specific plane (not just a model but an actual individual real-life plane) and models it.

that's what Just Flight did with the Arrow III.
