The last time I printed a manual was for Falcon 4.0 and it was expensive in black and white - it would cost a fortune in color. Still sitting on my shelf, too, after +10 years... Check out the DCS stuff - here. If you have a PDF reader for your smart phone/pad you could put it on to that... WC

BillyRiley Member Registered: 01/28/04 Posts: 1518 Loc: Colchester, England	Thx. I have a HP Tablet and I can read PDFs on it - but there's something about a manual...I don't even read them from cover to cover - just for reference. But I love a nice big manual. That's why I've not followed everyone onto the Kindle and the like. I just thought they did a manual for DCS - I bought and paid for that I would've done the same for A-10

Wrecking Crew Smooth Operator Senior Member Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 3275 Loc: Colorado	I printed out parts of it, some big sections, in fact. But now I just have a dozen pages stapled together. But I still have to crack open the manual once in a while. Airdromes data SAM threat ranges Keyboard commands .. Oh yeah, there is another link - this is where the pages I still use regularly come from - Toby23's Combined Document Pack WC Edited by Wrecking Crew (04/16/12 02:41 PM) Edit Reason: Toby23's link

What they produced was B+W with some colored text and they sold for $29.99 IIRC. _________________________ ASUS P8P67Pro B3, i7-2600K@4.4GHz, Noctua U9 Cooler, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600, 128GB & 2x256GB Crucial M4, 2TB WD Caviar Black, Zotac GTX580 Amp2 3GB, Corsair AX850 Pro, Dell U2711, VX2258 TouchScreen, TIR 5 w/ProClip, Cougar MFDs, TM Warthog, Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals, Helios

BillyRiley Member Registered: 01/28/04 Posts: 1518 Loc: Colchester, England	I love my BS manual! Thx Wrecking Crew - I have my tablet so I'll keep using that until they release one (if at all). I regularly have to reference the manual.

tagTaken2 Member Registered: 05/06/06 Posts: 1000 Loc: Gone.	Originally Posted By: Panther I hope that its available in color, or at least the pages that have critical information and pictures. BS manual was in b/w, and it's something I don't even think about when reading it. I think the cost of colour was considered prohibitive - most people keen enough to pay for colour would already have paid for a custom job. There was someone in this DCS thread talking about organising a bulk print run for colour A-10 manual if you're really interested.
