Many thanks Blackdog_kt

I haven't read it all as it was giving me a headache. Information overload, lol.

This sim is very complicated and I can see why the developers haven't been able to produce a decent manuel yet.

Thanks Blackdog for the shout-out. I have been trying to help out some fellow squaddies trying to get started, I think I'll just point them to this thread and save myself some time.
Have you thought about consolidating the info you compile into some sort of downloadable document? That we we could have it as a handy reference while in game.

I might just as well do it sometime soon. All i need to do is copy paste the lot into a word processing software, replace the html tags for bold/underlined text with the equivalent word processing functions and change quotes into small chapters with a nice, visible header. Then i could convert it to PDF and just upload on airwarfare.com

To be honest with you it's far easier for me to work in a word processor than in a forum due to the ease of formatting the text properly, adding page breaks to divide the info into groups and so on, but initially i was aiming to judge the community's interest by dumping the lot of it out on the forums

Now that it's obvious there's some interest, if i start working on a more polished version i will also probably divide it into separate sections: performance/stability tweaks, control setup and usage, gameplay advice, etc.

The only think i wouldn't want to do at this point, as it will entail quite a bit of a rewrite, is to make it look like a full fledged tutorial. Most of the quotes on the front page are taken verbatim from answers to community members and editing out those parts would take another round of proof reading and shuffling things around. I wouldn't say it's impossible, i just have to get myself in the mood to do it first
