Will there be a hardcopy manual? For us old-timers?

Featured Replies

So I finally got FS2Crew A3NX working, though the Command Center is still not really doing anything....

I know you said no one read the manuals, BUT I DID!

I also would print them out to have a quick reference. Screen real-estate is often precious (the sim is usually not the only thing running when I am simming), and having a hard copy I find is easier to reference than the on-screen assists.

 

So will there ever be a hard copy manual? Even just a reference of all the commands available, the triggers, etc? I saw that you could print each page, but the printouts are kinda plain and lack the formatting and organization of your previous manuals. I read your manuals, and I found them useful, both for learning, and later quick-reference. And they were well organized. I know your development is taking up lots of your time, but I hope you'll consider eventually publishing a manual for the old-timers.

 

Thanks!

Have a look here, it might be what you're looking for:

Might want to have a look at these things:

Mike Ray's A320 books.

Or this concise guide to the A320's systems. Or if you have a few more quid to spare, perhaps this one.

This one is good for the MCDU.

Or, if you want to print out specific things, this might be worth a look.

Mike Ray's Airbus book is very airline specific; it's not standard OEM Airbus at all, and FS2Crew models OEM Airbus.

Hard copy manuals haven't been around since the 1990s.

But you know you can 'print' all the commands in the Info Center.

There's a print button there.

Cheers,

I saw that. I tried the printing and it is a very basic printout.

Thanks for all the A320 resources, guys.

What I was really looking for was a bit of a printable version of the SOPs, focussing on the phrases that FS2Crew is listening for. I always had the previous manuals printed and handy and I found them an awesome reference for what FS2Crew was listening for. Especially when I hadn't been in the plane for a few weeks and there was some particular picky phrase, like how the pitch trim readout is supposed to go. (The print option is an ok interim, but each script has to print to a separate sheet and is not very efficient...)

I'll struggle on, but I was one person who read most of your manuals cover-to-cover. (Ok, not the installation intros, after I had read the first one, but all your actual SOPs...)

 

Can I make one suggestion: At least a short troubleshooting manual for getting started with your MSFS products. I had no idea the Command Centre program was supposed to run when MSFS started, so I had no idea what was going wrong with my FS2Crew setup, and I didn't even know where to start. Explaining at least the first few steps in a short manual included with the product would be very helpful. (Yes, I figured it out with the help of the forum, but it honestly took way to long for me to even figure out what questions to ask/search for because I didn't understand how FS2Crew was running within and outside the sim.)

 

Keep up the good work!
