3rd party manuals and ED's manuals

[Silver Fox]

Bignewy,

-Do we have any information from Razbam regarding the manual for the Harrier?
Like, when we're going to get a proper manual for it, updated and complete?

-Will Razbam update the manual for the Mirage too, instead of making massive changes all the time and keeping the manual outdated? Although the Mirage's manual is a little bit better than the Harrier's, is still showing things that don't match with what you're trying to do in the cockpit, making learning the module frustrating and time consuming, as I have to look for this information elsewhere.

Why and how Eagle Dynamics permit that a few modules from 3rd party developers, can be launched and sold without a proper manual or left outdated so badly for so long, is beyond my comprehension. This is extremely frustrating, not to say other things.

-Why there's not a standardization on how the modules are launched to the public and the way that the manuals are presented with them?
-Why do I have to dig the internet to find the information needed to fly a couple of modules that I paid almost the same price as the others that have a good manual and don't require my time and patience to find this information???

If you could answer this questions, I'd appreciate.
Thanks.

Yeah, just tried to do the startup training mission, if you follow what the french guy is saying, nothing happens. Outdated.

Had a look again on the manual, on the INS alignment section, doesn't match what we have to do in order to get it aligned. Outdated. (I'm talking about a full alignment).

Also, they made the Mirage with a French cockpit, because is a french plane. Fair enough. Then they gave us the option to have an English cockpit. Great, as not everybody understands french and english is a universal language. So far, so good.
Then they made the manual, written in English, but with all the buttons and switches described in french!... so now, I have to load the Mirage with the french cockpit, to see what labels/letters I have for each button and switch... to take this information back to the manual and match that with whatever I'm trying to learn from the manual...

Why not make a full french manual, for those who speak french and will use the mirage with the french cockpit, AND then a full english manual, with everything in it in english, including buttons and switches, as this would match exactly what we're seeing in the cockpit and therefore making our life easier... honestly...

I just have to say thanks to all the YouTubers out there and Chuck, for showing us how to use this models properly!!! What would be of DCS without you all!?
