Where Did All The Manuals Go?

[signmanbob 592]

I finally got the money together to buy the 777 manuals, and there are none showing on the PMDG website!  Where did they go?!!

I touched on that very subject here http://forum.avsim.net/topic/437924-printed-manuals/

 

Only the MD11 Manuals available.

 

You may come to a different conclusion than me. . Bear in mind, that the manuals are not kept in a storage shed for distribution, orders as they come in, are sent to the publishers, and freighted from there (Wisconsin)

Ok, I got an answer off the ticket support system.  They are currently out of the printed manuals, but should have them again soon....darn.  I guess I'll have to wait a while.

Worth the wait if you ask me. Unless you wanna go through the trouble of printing and binding the manuals yourself from the PDFs  :lol:

As it's not possible to print them, it's out of the question. But if it was, I believe it would me much cheaper than buying the manuals.

 

But printing prices could differ from country to country though, as here we have these huge printing shops printing hundreds of pages for almost nothing! But it's black and white, low quality binders, nowhere as nicely organized as the PMDG ones.

How can they be out of them ? Orders are sent to the publishers?  They are not kept in a warehouse, you order, they print.

And the link to the thread which I linked to above has been removed. Why ?

Struck a nerve would be my guess.

Yes, I think so.

I don't know. Private print... would probably end up cheaper. 

Commercial.. that is expensive over here. Although the shipping, might still end up cheaper (but won't be as nice. And won't be colored)

Well, I had 260 pages to be printed which was part of a Tu-154 manual, ended up costing me 15 levas, which is maybe 7 dollars. Then I had another manual consisting of 109 pages costing me 7 levas, which is like 4 dollars). It was crazily cheap and the location was in Bulgaria. But it wasn't that high quality but still perfectly readable, and in black and white. For the price, I can't complain. This was at a commercial printing shop. (The shops are scattered over the capital and of course I went there in real life with my USB brick which contained the manuals)

Ah, fantastic news!  The reply I received said they had no idea if/when they'd have the printed manuals available again.  Glad you got a more difinitive answer   Going to jump at them the next time they're available.

Where did they go?!!

Was wondering this too. I did get the FCOM Vol. 1 and posters 2 or 3 months before the software was released. But would like the other manuals too.

Consider getting the 777 posters too if they offer them again. The printing is top quality.
