Manual

[Redroach]

I posted it already somewhere, but:
a) there is a manual, in case, you haven't noticed... I think it's a pdf somewhere on the standard release. The manual is not bad in general, imo, though it doesn't really provide in-depth information.
b) having a 600+ pages manual would indeed be cool, but, since you have got more than one plane to fly, probably very many after an expansion or two, I guess that isn't really possible.
On the other hand, there's a lot of original documentation available on the web, something which may or may not be the case with more recent planes due to secrecy reasons. So, as it is almost tradition since Il-2, people throw around a lot of material for the real things to discuss and also to learn to fly.
