allardjd 1,853 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yes, it's normal. I think the enclosed literature will tell you to go to their site to download the latest and greatest. John Link to post Share on other sites

britfrog 180 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 considering how expensive this toy is i find the lack of manuals and documentation a blatant riip off, one should not have to rely on friends and forums to get basic installation information Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I wouldn't say it is a rip off, it seems to be the norm now to go to the manufacturers website to download the latest software. Nvidia is a prime example of that. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Plus membership of Mutley's Hangar does have its benefits! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think the web site address is included in the packaged documentation/labels. John Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 These days with so many updates and fixes (if a good manufacturer keeps up on such) it is best to get the lastest and unbuggiest at the manufacture's site anyhow....not including software probably just saves installation time these days. I recall finding the website information in my package...but suppose it could be made more obvious. I'm over 50 and more than ever i appeciate VERY clear LARGE typefaces with critical information...aging eyesight SUCKS, and it is easy to forget that this market probably has a higher age demographic on average, than other Game software might expect. Online documentation ofc allows us to set our own Web Text sizes...kind of another benefit of looking for updates online than in the packaging. Link to post Share on other sites
patrico 8 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks Guys for that and Matt I agree this was an early birthday present as I will be 65 in a few weeks. Nigel it is expensive and without the manuals and software not being available online it would be a lot more expensive and Joe, you are right Membership of the hangar does have its advantages. thank you so much for the links. John I guess I was just being paranoid Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I just love this place called Mutley's Hangar, especially at Christmas time when Joe sends out the £500 cheque as a prezzy to each member every year.. Link to post Share on other sites

Darn it, I knew there was a downside to joining the dark side of the Moderators Team, cause I've never seen that cheque Link to post Share on other sites
