It has been a few months and we still don't have the Hornet, Mig, and Add on disc manuals. This is still unacceptable. Once again, I have a near mint copy of Falcon Gold and all the manuals that I would be willing to ship (if others cover the costs) to GOG to have them scanned in high quality to be shared with the community. As far as I can tell, these maps and instruction manuals are NOT available online.
Hi,Falconer.

Also,Original Falcon 3.0 (not Gold version) has the manual of 342 pages.
This Falcon "Collection" edition should be sold with this manual instead of the (shorten version) manual of 254 pages.

As far as I know, you can not find a pdf manual of 342 pages on internet.
However,Finding a pdf manual of 254 pages is really easy.
So,Retroism put this version on GoG.
This publisher is really lazy like the old "Softkey" publisher.
They don't do complicated things.
I don't think that they will upload additional (or longer version) manuals by themselves.

Have you tried to PM any of the blues? That might be the quickest way to notify the gog staff. I doubt they read game-specific forums that much.
I contacted GOG and at one point they said they would be interested if I shipped it to them at my cost (which would be expensive.) I offered for them to keep it as long as they promised high quality scans of all the manuals and maps.
Generous of you.
I would not send my original manuals if they would not return them.

I'm willing to help for shipping costs, if you need to.

Thanks for that effort. I sure hope GoG can just do what is necessary to make the digital documentation complete.
I scanned my F/A-18 and MiG-29 manuals but I probably cannot post them legally :(

Interestingly, the GOG included Falcon 3.0 PDF manual is a bit different than the original Falcon 3.0 manual that came with the game. The PDF manual is pretty close but is not as complete as the hard copy.I have from the original game.

You can post links once your rep gets higher. Alternatively, just post links here without "https://" or PM me and can post them for you.
Any updates? I want the 300+ pgs/F18/MiG29 manuals so bad.

I offered mine a while ago but I had to pay shipping which I couldn't afford at the time. At this point, I would miss having my mint copy manuals on my self but if GOG promised to scan them all then I would seriously consider sending it since those large manuals and maps are not available online.
