There have been similar cases with flightsims. Jane's F/A-18 would be a nice example. The manual gave a detailed description of the modeled avionics, and nearly nothing else. Air combat tactics? Ground attack tactics? SEAD tactics? How to properly interpret the marshall stack radio commands the carrier gives you? Nothing to be found in the manual, although it was all in the sim. Just as in DW, players had to rely on previous experience with other sims, and documents on the web made by more experienced players.
