The big problem with putting it in F1 or the nav.map is if you have ships with just a minor difference, then you could be going back and forth.

Having had experience with the GUI I'm trying to do, I found making a big change can result in a chain reaction of changes. I've got to make up all the sils which in itself will take time, so to get something released, I'll keep it simple to start with.

I'll put the new manual on a slide out, in peri-uzo or page 3F, the latter maybe better as you'd have it in all views, I could tie it to an officer so that it wasn't a nuisance. the only problem would be OLC's shortcuts as I'd like it to slide up, would be like looking down at the manual. This will enable you to look at the ship and then look down at the new manual. With the new manual containing 6 ships or so distinguishing will be easy. Each Ship will have an ID number, all you've got to do then is bring up that ID in the original manual. You'd even know which direction is the quicker to find it and no going back an forth. I'll see if I can strip the old manual to bare essentials (top row of data) which you could keep present without blocking the AOB Finder, also may speed up the old manual.
