It's been discussed over on the DCS forums. Don't think so, though. 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...

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

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 -

They put out spiral bound versions for Flamig Cliffs and BlackShark so it seems somewhat likely. What they produced was B+W with some colored text and they sold for $29.99 IIRC.

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.

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.

If you do your own inkjet printer refills you could print your own manual for cheap, and FULL COLOR, then just have it ring-bound.

I printed mine off from University biggrin
