ok seriously is it just me?

or does it seem like there are A LOT of players who have downloaded GWX 2.1 out there who have not even bothered to "crack the spine" of the manual.

Someone went though a lot of painstaking effort to creat that masterpiece and it seems to me that there are only a few people out there who are advocates of "reading the fu**ing manual!"

the GWX manual is a tremendous wealth of information. it should be at least parused by a user... but instead it seems like there are like .... 4 people on subsim who have actualy read the thing!

is it just me?! please tell me its me! :rotfl:

Hmmmm. I have read all 644 pages three times sir. As a matter of fact I keep it in the head so I can launch tube 2 and read at the same time. PS, it is a great manual, a tour de force - best I have seen yet. Too bad it cannot be bought in a printed version along with poster sized Charts and Other. Wouldn't that be a treat for diehards.

REed wat dat?

Oh weed ok now where talking...

Well I had looked at it twice for some info... Back in the beginning when I needed to understand the mod choices... But after that cough cough boy there is alot of dust on this book..

GWX manual rocks

Task Force · 08-25-08, 12:00 AM

I have read some paarts of the manual, This is possiably the biggest manual ive ever seen.

Sailor Steve · 08-25-08, 12:08 AM

I don't have it memorized, but I think I have just recently shown that when a question is asked I can point to the right page in fair time.

I've red the manual 3 times so far, :rotfl: ........ :rotfl: A looooot of fun

And I'm still reading this when I need some info.

Was guilty of this until I found the manual and how well organised it is (including link from ToC).

It's now the first place I look before asking questions.

Erich dem Roten · 08-25-08, 01:36 AM

I try and chip away at it...I've only been playing SH3 for about a week or so. It's excellently written though, hats off to those who wrote it.

bookworm_020 · 08-25-08, 02:05 AM

I read it before I had even downloaded GWX!

I always read the manual, then I at least can bluff my way round the wife!

meduza · 08-25-08, 04:51 AM

The manual is great. It sure beats most of the manuals for commercial product, if not all.

I heaven't read the whole manual

, but I often look at it when I need some info.

von hally · 08-25-08, 05:18 AM

Rivet....IM GUILTY!!!!

keep the forum going?.......no?

dont hurt me

Jimbuna · 08-25-08, 06:56 AM

What manual :hmm:

Murr44 · 08-25-08, 07:30 AM

Read most if not all of it. I agree that it's one of the best manuals around.

Few game publishers put that amount of effort & detail into their manuals.

Gezoes · 08-25-08, 07:38 AM

As with other mods (Battlefield 2 - FH2 - OPK / Medieval Total War 2 - various) I read it while downloading GWX.

Just like reading through the manual when I buy a game and go home... it's ideal foreplay
