You talked about the how good the DF system is, it probably is fantastic, but again without the FMB manual and documents its wasted at the moment, or its going to take much longer to try and work it out for ourselves.

It never made sense to me that features which have cost man hours are not well documented. One could for example have something like the FS2004 or FSX ingame documentation. You get a check list for starting and description what is different and why on your aircraft etc pp. That one feature I like very much to have in combat flight sims, too.

Not describing cool things or pecularities of the machine for the average user seems a total waste of time to me, programming wise...

Even a plain, sterile list of which of the total list of key/axis bindings are active in the current plane (at the current difficulty setting) would be a massive improvement. Ideally auto-populated from the actual programming/modelling, so that it never gets outdated with future patches.
