Hey,
I don't think the full operating manual should be in FlightGear, as
then displaying images will be difficult. I would like to include as
many pictures/labeled diagrams/video tutorials as possible. As for speed
limits, that's already there on the front panel in the cockpit, but we
could get checklist into a dialog.
Cheers,
PS: Kyle, please don't send many messages or small ones with just "Hey"
to the mailing list. ;)

i just want to sugeest that ..if the manual can be placed in a unique

realistic and its inconvenient although its small... i think it
should only consist of some basic things....or.... we can put a search
button where the pilot will type then i will appear on the paper or
something for them to see..
or ...how about just make a simple "help" to the menu bar to be
easy...no big deal if any options are done... as long as it is easy
to be red and easy to understand for the user... and most of all i
think any of these options can be done... but for the table menu.. the
basic autopilot, controls ,speed limits and checklists should be
there.. the rest should be listed on the "help" bar
Lets all have fun! =)TANX

Preparations
Hey,
We just completed a lot of work on the A330-200 series, including
most sections of the mCDU, almost everything in the FMGC and liveries
of MOST of the aircrafts' operators. A lot of people are also
uncomfortable pulling the aircraft from git, so like most aircraft
developers do, we'll also make a release. Currently, the release
candidate is already available in our git repository so it'd be cool
if you guys can test it and report/fix all the errors you find.
Due to the *really big size* of the aircraft working directory, I
don't think we should release the whole thing as a single package. I
mean, we could make a full release with all the airports' NavData, and
all liveries but then as most people won't use everything, we could
simply release a base package with only blank liveries and have
separate variant livery packages download-able separately. As for
NavData, the base package can have just a few selected airports.
(merlion's destinations should do ;-) )
I was also thinking that we should make an operating manual for
the aircraft as on first try, these aircraft are quite complicated to
fly properly. Do you think we should create a separate PDF of the
manual or just have everything well put in the FG wiki?
If you have to report any errors or have an suggestions to the
release method, please write to /fg-airbus-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:fg-airbus-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>/.
Cheers,
Narendran
