gerd Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm reading through the updated manual and noticed couple of issues: Section HUD Control Panel (page 31/32 in my copy) 2. HUD Symbology Brightness Selector Knob - description of the knob is the same as the switch in 4. HUD Symbology Brightness Selector Section Spin Recovery (page 38 in my copy) on several occasions there are some weird characters indicated by boxed question mark, e.g. 33° ?}1° Section Left Vertical Panel (page 41 in my copy) 1. Canopy Jettison Handle - for consistency with the description of subsequent switches the formatting should be changed from the list to the nice blue heading.

gerd Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Flight Control System (FCS) Page (page 67) describes what we can see in the picture (Fig 29), but displayed values are different (e.g. description: LEF 1° down vs. picture: 0°, etc.).

Redglyph Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Speaking of Early Access Manual, there are two of them, "DCS FA-18C Early Access Guide EN.pdf" and "DCS FA-18C Early Access Guide EN-13 November 2018.pdf". The former seems to be the last version but I'm not sure. I would suggest to put a version number in this document, to know which version potential corrections (like the ones above) are referring to/in which version they are completed. I'd also suggest to avoid changing the name of the document back and forth because it's most confusing when trying to keep track of them.
