I've also found a manual for the 339, but it's in Italian

The 339 one is for the C version, not the A tht we found in the AFFS2. What changes most is the cockpit that has been updated in the C version with more digital instruments. The performance are quite the same.

For us as developers we are interested in what kind of information you are looking for in these manuals. Do you want to learn everything about these aircraft or do you want a general overview to find certain knobs in the Aerofly FS 2, get some more information about the performance like takeoff-distances, v-speeds and so on?

If you are uploading make sure that it is not a copyrighted document. Sharing copyrighted material without the authors agreement would be illegal and we will need to take down such content asap.

I've especially not uploaded any material to the forum. They are only links to where I've found them. Thereby there should be no problem with copyrights.

I'm interested in aircraft specific procedures and performance (cold start, taxi, t/o etc, flight configuration, speeds etc)

May be no use for AFS2, but for FSX & FS9 there are very useful printable manuals by Werner Schott. They run through take off, cruise, landing, etc with speeds. Print them out in A4 & they can be folded into booklets. He does have a large range of aircraft. Just Google his name or they can be downloaded from the usual MSFS sites. ChrisD

In the absense of variable loading and environments we don't really need a large aeroplane performance manual. I presume things like take offs over obstacles (Switzerland) are all done electronically now so maybe something like a FMC for the big jets could cover the complex calculations. For the frozen variables Aero of this time, a few V1 or Vrs and perhaps something involving the corresponding accelerate-stop distance to indicate the size of airfield required, for example show how much a small GA field is hopeless for a big jet.

procedures & performance-related data is the answer. How to correctly handle the aircraft.

That, however, only makes sence, if ipacs implements all functionalities to the aircraft, to flight planning and designs a damage modelling.
Why would you try and do it right if not for the purpose of saving your life? Not following procedures has consequences in real life.
