Is there enough support here to try to create a more comprehensive manual for IL-2 Cliffs of Dover since no one else has really made a true one for this game?

My idea is to comprehensively cover each aircraft individually with the follow criteria:

-A historical overview of the aircraft and it's use
-Variants in Game
-Specs of aircraft in game
-Start up procedures
-Pre-Flight checklists (for things like course setters/ engine warmth/ suggested flaps etc.)
-Take off tips and such
-In flight guides (The auto pilots, gyro compasses, trim, etc)
-Weapon use (Bomb sites, gunner controls, gun sights, ammunition for the guns, etc.)
-Landing tips and such
-Engine shut off procedures for <rr and full stop procedures

That would be for aircraft and then a general purpose guide for flying aircraft and a basic guide of bombing tactics and fighter tactics and possibly something on the mission editor.

Aircraft Sign Up list (you have to be comprehensive in your covering it):

Red:
Spitfire:
Hurricane:
Blenheim:

Blue:
BF-109E:
BF-110C:
He-111H/P:
Ju-87B-2:
Ju-88A-1:
Br. 20:
G.50:

Basic overview of flying:
Fighter Tactics:
Bomber Tactics:
Mission Editor Guide (Please include something basic about triggers and scripting):

As a side note, I'll be writing any leftovers which will most likely be the Br. 20 and possibly the G. 50.

I'll check that out Chief but if I remember which one it is correctly, I found the format to be a little confusing and me not be completely up to date.

I looked at it and it was what I thought it was. I personally think it is possible to do better than that because it is slightly confusing and doesn't cover really everything that I'm wanting to cover.

Also, it doesn't have the two italian aircraft, Br. 20 and G. 50

Well good enough. Things always have room for improvement. Don't know what I can contribute on the tech side but I'm a fair hand with graphics so let me know if I can help. :thumbsup:

The Russian guys started a good manual here, but like CLoD is unfinished (and outdated due patchs)...
