DCS: A-10C Warthog Flight Manual (digitalcombatsimulator.com)

Honestly son, i am not even going to look at at it 😁 Just setting up a cellphone properly (and all those lovely apps) is enough of an ordeal for the likes of me.

If the plane is well modelled all you need is a copy of the real world POH.

That said, I work for a software company and getting developers to write documentation has them reacting like you are dragging them over hot coals.  They would much rather be programming some shiny new feature.

I've poured over thousands of pages of so many sim aircraft over the years, and they still flew rather badly. It has become a kind of false bragging right. So many "manuals" are just elongated technical manuals, some of which are useful but others are a substitute for actual sim quality. 

With your G36 Turbo Mod, the default Turbo G36 plane, the "G-CARL", no longer vibrates as much (if at all) internally and externally.  In the Mod's documentation or guide there is mention of the "elimination of artificial movement not related to landscape or air mass" and the "elimination of random twitchy behaviour in non-turbulent conditions".  I'm kinda curious since it is mentioned as a main feature in the documentation now. However, a couple of years ago I thought I saw an A2A video demonstrating a plane vibrating (when viewed externally), which was a feature to be desired in FSX and P3D but was difficult to implement.

I've been trying to figure out exactly what a 'bus tie' does in the Cessna Longitude. I found two checklists. One say to leave it open, the other to keep it close. Can't find the POH.

Yeah the Citation Longitude POH is copyright and $600 to buy from Textron which may explain why they are not providing free ones with the game.

I could not see much online about the Longitude electrical system specifically but did find a few docs about other Citation which are likely similar:

https://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/Cessna_Citation_Jet-Electrical.pdf

 

I suspect the bus tie is only used in startup or in an emergency when the alternator on one side has failed.

Lol. In the age of the pandemic, this is what happens when you do a LOT of business travel in your prior life:

I can't really help on this. I never set up an artificial vibration, so if there is or isn't one, it must be something Asobo has changed globally.
