Agree, but the missing key card is a pain. I mean the list of keys and
functions, organized by topic, rather than the keyboard map file or the
text file that lists keys in alphabetical order.
As it is, you have to stop and consult the keychart, scanning for the
black function that lists the most important keys. Or create your own
list of keys in order or topic and importance. I have no doubt that
someone will create a better one than my scratch effort, but Graphsim
did this with their various Hornet sims, so they can't pretend they
don't know how.
I'm thinking now of the newbie who sees the attractive box on the shelf
and takes it home to be frustrated. I know there's a recruit/cadet
mode, but Falcon4 actually had a minimanual for that mode--and Jane's
had cadet mode/quickstart keycharts for F/A-18 and F-15 that allowed
you get in the air and blast stuff w/o spending two days reading the
manual.
I just want EVERYONE who buys this to be happy with it, and I'm afraid
there'll be more disappointed newbies than those of us who can just
pull out our FF3 charts and pencil in a few notes.
