Hi Jörg! I only checked the English manual and did not read it thoroughly (way
too much text. I got my (aerospace engineering!) study books last
week and I decided that I should save my eyes/mind for the millions of pages
(those books are way too heavy!) that I'll have to read the
upcoming five years :P).
Some comments though:
What I miss:a link to the forum, for further support (when the wiki/manual are
not sufficient).an index that can be viewed anywhere on the page. Right now
it's just at the top of each "chapter". I don't want
to scroll up, just to skip some subjects. Maybe a dropdown list from the main
menu? Or some Adobe Reader-like
sidebar. Just thinking out loud here ;)most screenshots have no description. As
an user I'd like to know the name of the aircraft I'm seeing; so I can launch
it up in FlightGear!capital consistency in enumerations. If your second point
starts with a lower font, the third should as well. A good example
can be seen under "Takeoff" at http://www.emmerich-j.de/Handbuch/EN/4_Solo.html
1,4,5,6 start with a capital letter, while
2 and 3 don't.would be nice if clicking an abbreviation doesn't bring you to a
long list, instead show a little popup/hover explaining the
abbreviation.
Typos/faults/mistakes I found:at
http://www.emmerich-j.de/Handbuch/EN/2_Install.html the image description is
Deutsch :)links to the wiki link to German articles. For example:
http://www.emmerich-j.de/Handbuch/EN/B9_Features.html#mozTocId507437the
appendix doesn't list all the contributors. Better list none then some IMO.
Rather than giving an incomplete list of "The following
individuals have contributed to the scenery object database" you might link to
the authors page of the database.
What I am worried about:Altough I really like this manual, I have some worries
on how you'll keep it up to date. As we see at the wiki,
it's very hard to keep up with FlightGear's pace. And that's on a place anyone
can edit easily...Your version is much more up to date than the current manual,
but I wonder if that's just because you spend so
much time on writing it (I guess you won't spend that much time updating it on
every release). If this doesn't end up being used as an official manual in the
base package, do consider copying stuff to the wiki.
You've got some subjects that aren't covered there as of yet ;) Thanks a lot
for the hardwork! It's really appreciated (I do at least)!
I'm sure we'll be able to use most of it (if not all) in some way or another!
Cheers,Gijs
