To be fair, real QRH and FCOMs for these airplanes are incredibly easy to find - you can quite comfortably use the real docs on this thing. We can't distribute any of this stuff ourselves due to our licensing agreement with Airbus 🙂

That's a bummer. One of the best parts of buying a study level sim is, well, RTFM!

It's a bummer that they are easy to find? Why?

We both know the message I was conveying. Please don't twist it into a question that backs a statement we both know I never made. I get enough of that from the passengers. 😆

That makes no sense. No idea what made you get defensive over that.

I don't think I was defensive, I think I mistook your comment as insidious when it might not have been your intent.

So written the long way, "It's a bummer" that Airbus won't let Fenix give their own variation of a QRF, FCOM, AFM, etc. The reason it's a bummer is because these document, like your AFM, can be aircraft specific. It can have weights and CoG down to the weight of the specific instruments used. More importantly developers can inset comments and notes in the document to add to what's being discussed. An example would be while looking through TCAS pages and seeing a note from Aamir that the Fenix TCAS will only take over and follow the automated resolution if the other aircraft is a player and not AI.

These are things you won't find in the EasyJet FCOM for the A320-214, for instance, which makes the lack of complete tailored docs a bummer in my opinion. Cheers mate.

Ah... Well clearly we misunderstood each other.

I suspect that providing the manuals would increase the cost for Fenix as Airbus would most likely require them to pay for the privilege of including them with the product.

Although they are not customized, the FCOM and QRH are available on the web. I thought that this was a good thing as we get a lower cost for the Fenix product, and easy access to the manuals. I was just asking why you thought this was a bad thing. Now I have a better understanding. 

I apologize for rubbing you the wrong way as that was not my intent.

No apology necessary! I was the one who assumed the worst; I should've known better since I've never once seen you be disrespectful here on Avsim. Good point on the price of licensing the docs. I never considered that.

I'd absolutely rather use free docs over paying for licensed docs, unless Fenix offered them as a different purchase.

Already done, it was asked for so much we built it in a week ago.
