Strange, i was thinking that the current manual was for a ps3 game!

To be realistic and out of jokes:
i suppose that for a manual for a game like that at least you should have:

a picture of the plane's cockpits with all the instrument list and position (i know and i was able to do alone, but i did all alone and at this point a manual is not usefull).

the pilot's manual for EVERY plane with the explanation of how to reach the maximum speed, how to have the best climb rate, the maximum and minumum temperature of oil and water, the maximum rpm, the take off configuration, the procedures to start the engines. (some aircraft have most of that, but some others , like spitfire, no; some others plane simply are not on the manual!)

A brief general explanation of the different engine damages and the reason they could occurr, how to avoid it etc. etc.




If someone thinks that a manual having that data could be helping too much the people that (like me and the people of my wing) can do it alone, moreover because are people that want to fly on the maximum of realism (they can always fly without CEM! snort..) i simply answer that the reason of a manual is to help the people to do that.
There are tons of pages talking about the meaning of the configuration of the graphics and on the menu description (things that also my five years old nephew is able to manage in a little time) but nothing helping you in starting the engines and taking off, for example, with the blenheim...

It will be done i hope, like all the other problems of the games, i really hope so, and the proof is that i'm writing here, but unlike all the people that are defending the team for everything in that forum, the 1c cheerleaders, i think that when someone buy a beta, is better and more professional to say that. I would buy it also in beta, as a thank for the job for il2 that gave and gives to me still alot of fun, but is more professional to say indeed that the game like it is now, is a BETA. And it seems to be not only my opinion, reading the voting gave at that game by alot of sites..
