"When people buy a flight simulator, they want to learn to use a flight simulator. They didn't buy a flight simulator to learn to become a software developer or expert computer user and spend their time understanding how to squash bugs."

Entirely agree, and I might add, not everyone wants to qualify to be a 747 pilot--just a hint of flying one. But this goes back to a comment i had made earlier about how did this got out of testing without someone noticing that Xbox had to be installed just to get the program to work. It's only due to users here and elsewhere that I learned that had to be done.

"I like the idea of a "manual", however us "old guys" typically prefer a hard copy in front of us, so we can pause the flight, look up the necessary information and return to the flight . . . or even do a little ground prep."

Exactly, and i like to research some things away from in front of the computer.

Wouldn't a manual be nice?

Can our planes from FSX be made to work with 2020?

I discovered too by reading numerous posts that you have to install XBOX. This is crazy.

My faithful joystick won't work even though it is acknowledged. I can't get it to recall settings.

I can't get the parking brake to release even using my keyboard/mouse. What is the magical NUM DEL?

I have tried every combination.

A LOT of this confusion would have been averted with a manual.
