Where's the PDF-manual?

[exocytosis]

Topic says it all - the Steam store page for Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition lacks information about where to find the PDF-manual - so just where is it?

I need a manual too. Bought the Sim but would like heave the key mappings printed

The FSX manuals are pretty weedy
C:\...\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Manuals
plus there's the learning centre in game

Thank you. Still, it's common practice for publishers to provide links to game manuals on the Steam product pages. Dovetail, you may want to take note of this.

You will find it on Steam's home, on the right, click on Manual, comes up in pdf, annoying that it cannot be printed off though

We do have the manual on there. You can find it down the far right of the page where it says:

Title: Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition
Genre: Simulation
Developer: Microsoft Game Studios
Publisher: Dovetail Games - Flight
Release Date: 16 Oct, 2006

Another option for more detailed material that I found great for when needing help - is being able to read the learning center content whilst in a flight, or even reading it when FSX is not even started. This has much better detail and instruction than the manual.

Simply got the the 'UIRES' folder within ther FSX folder ---

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\uires

In there you will see a HTML file named lc01 (the first digit is a lowercase L)

Simply right click on this lc01 file and select create a shortcut. Drag it to desktop and rename it FSX Learning Center.( When it opens you can also add it to your browser bookmarks if you want to access it that way)

Now you can read the learning center stuff in a flight or even without FSX started.

Right, but Martin - that's basically just a pamphlet. Please publish the real, fully-fledged manual instead (when I bought Flight Simulator 2002, the manual on disc was well over 100 pages long.

That is the full manual which is supplied with FSX: Steam Edition. All the other information you will need is found in the Learning Centre within the sim. Times have changed since 2002.
