F-16C Viper Guide Update #2
Added 2022-01-25 13:04:29 +0000 UTCHi folks!
The F-16 guide has been gathering dust since 2020, so there was a lot to catch up. Eagle Dynamics has provided many new toys, so I think it was about time I switched into high gear. The page count increased from 540+ to 720+ pages... but I know it will eventually keep growing as Eagle Dynamics eventually adds other much needed features such as the DTC and missing DED pages.

Hi Christian! It's an idea that's been mentioned a few times, already. It has its merits, but I feel that these guides aren't anywhere near close to the standard they need to be in order to be printed. If such a book was to be done, it'd need to be done right (or not at all). At least, that's my take on it. This would mean: zero typo, zero mistake, perfect screenshots, perfectly aligned and consistent formatting... and of course, a module with systems that are set in stone and are guaranteed to not change. It would be weeks/months of work for a single document... if I were to do it. It's more trouble than it's worth IMHO, especially since my available time varies wildly nowadays.

2022-01-29 22:22:43 +0000 UTCThank you for this! Something I have been thinking about for a while: I think it would be awesome if you would offer your guides as books. I would personally love to have a hard cover next to me when I am flying instead of going through a pdf. Yes I know they would get outdated from time to time but I wouldn't care. You can get great and fast printing from the likes of Google Photos for instance. Could do this myself of course but would rather support you and hopefully others would agree. Consider it? Thank you!
2022-01-29 17:43:30 +0000 UTCIt's my pleasure, Christopher! Glad to have you on board!
