Ok ok this is a noob question but where the hell are the manuals? are they on a disc? i have FS2k2 pro but i cant find the manuals help please.

Most of your aircraft manuals are on the disc and can be accessed from the start up screen.  (I think it says "Libraries" or something like that....just search around for it, it's there.)

The other option is to pick up the book that was written by an independent author (i.e. not M$).  I can't remember his name off the top of my head (and the book is at home, where I am not), but it's got loads of great information inside.  (And it mentions VA's, so it scored mega cool points in my....err...book.)

If you're looking for help on a particular topic, the folks here have been more than helpful to me, and so many others.  Feel free to ask!  (Very newbie friendly, as I've said so many times.)
