Uiju ILS (Rwy) is: 110.4 (05), 110.0(23) should be should be: 110.0 (05), 110.4(23). Checked in stations+ILS.dat and confirmed in 3D.4.36 changelog
Is: Pyongtaek AB => Pyongtaek AAF (RKSG)
Should be: Pyongtaek AB => Pyeongtaek AAF (RKSG)
Reason: current implementation based on Stations+ILS.dat and 2D -
Would it be possible to run the pdf manuals or documentation through the Microsoft Word grammar and spellcheckers (assuming Word is the creating source, as it seems to be), to correct, probably 95% of those errors in the manuals? It still needs to be verified for accuracy, of course, but I’ve done that on my manuals (open the pdf’s in Word as a docx file, let it find all of the errors, then re-save back as a pdf. (It took about an hour per 100 pages for me, to verify each of the changes and corrections. Be aware that it’s NOT perfect!)
There is a lot of missing punctuation in the manuals that the grammar checker finds and fixes. These simple, auto-grammar (and spelling) corrections clarify the ideas, thoughts, directions and concepts much better than the original text in many cases. A properly placed comma or semicolon can make a world of difference in the meaning of the text!
Go U1! -
@ShawnTaylor Thanks for reporting!

@greatcouloir Thanks for reporting!
-
@Fox_15 Thanks for reporting!

@Dan I would not recommend to do that. Spellchecker is great but as you said, not perfect. So its better to do it by hand/eyeball.

Page: 9
Original sentence: “FAIR weather, few clouds at 5000 feet, winds 320°/13 knots, temperature 18°C, dew point 02°C, altimeter 1007 (2974),
no significant changes.”
Corrected sentence: “FAIR weather, few clouds at 5000 feet, winds 320°/13 knots, temperature 18°C, dew point 02°C, altimeter 1007 (2984),
no significant changes.”QNH is 2984.

BMS Comms & Nav Book 4.36
p.14
Is: “Since 4.36 you can now intercupt the transition at any time when changing the VHF frequency.”
Should be: “Since 4.36 you can now interrupt the transmission at any time when changing the VHF frequency.”
Reason: typosTraining Manual 4.36
p.106 - duplicated sentence “When you ripple bombs in CCRP, the pipper shows where the first bomb will impact.”Dash-34, change 4.36.0
p.83 (section 3.4.7.1.3)
Is: “DBS2 will provide a FOV roughly double that of EXP and DBS1 with improved resolution (64:1).”
Proposed: “DBS2 will provide a FOV roughly half of that of EXP and DBS1 with improved resolution (64:1).”
Reason: When we zoom in, FOV is narrower, not wider.AIP 4.36
TACAN ranges cross checked with Stations+ILS.dat:1.2.1.1 (TACANs South Korea)
Gimhae - current range: 35 NM, should be: 140 NM
Seosan - current range: 50 NM, should be 35 NM1.2.1.2 (TACANs Japan)
Hiroshima - current range: 140 NM, should be 35 NM2.2.3
RK-110 PILSUNG (KOTAR) - KOTAR frequency provided (306.8) is incorrect; it should be 233.8 (as indicated in Training Manual 4.36 p.105 ). -
@greatcouloir Sorry but 1007 -> 2974 …

I’m sure you are speaking with authority in the conversion; I’m not. However, I was unconvincingly attempting to point out QNH in the training TE appears to be 2984 despite what is noted in the accompanying documentation.

Original: last figures in section 5.3 illustrating refueling sequencing, Receiver is spelled incorrectly four times in captions
Correction: change Reciever to ReceiverGC

User Manual:
Page 2-14
“IVC config files is not compatible”
Should be:
“IVC config files are not compatible”Page 3-26, bottom of page
“g_fSmartScalingThreshold defaults to 1.0 which is 1nm. Replacing 1.0 with 0.2 or 0.5 will provide no automatic scaling for objects closer than 0.2 or 0.5 Nm respectively and start the BMS Smart Scaling from that point”
Suggest instead, for clarity:
g_fSmartScalingThreshold defaults to 1.0. This means that SmartScaling will not begin until the object is 1nm away. You can make this value higher or lower, which will determine at what distance SmartScaling will beginPage 9-192
“The ACMI conversion has been greatly improved, so you get from 3D to briefing much shorter.”
Suggest:
“The ACMI conversion has been greatly improved, so you get from 3D to briefing much more quickly.”
or
“The ACMI conversion has been greatly improved, so you get from 3D to briefing in much less time.” -
I suppose I don’t need to explain what’s wrong.
BMS-Training p153.
EDIT: actually there’s no dome on D either at the moment, but I suppose it was reported already.

BMS Training Manual 4.36
Date: 05 APR 2022
p.63
Is: “The drop of pressure prevents the fuel external tanks from being transferred to the internal tanks.”
Proposed 1: “The drop of pressure prevents the fuel from external tanks from being transferred to the internal tanks.”
Proposed 2: “The drop of pressure prevents the external tanks fuel from being transferred to the internal tanks.”
Reason: missing “from” or wrong word orderp.63
Is: “If the AAR door remains open for too long though the depressurized external tanks may create a trapped fuel situation as they contain fuel not being transferred into the main tanks.”
Proposed: “If the AAR door remains open for too long though, the depressurized external tanks may create a trapped fuel situation as they contain fuel not being transferred into the main tanks.”
Reason: punctuationp.104
Is: “In any case LADD in BMS is
not fully implemented.”
Proposed: “In any case LADD in BMS is not fully implemented.”
Reason: unnecessary line break in the middle of linep.115
Is: “Select Pupo-ri Naval Base in the target list and click on the first dock crane (yellow).”
Proposed: “Select Pupo-ri Naval Base Port in the target list and click on the first dock crane (yellow).”
Reason: the actual name in 2D is Pupo-ri Naval Pase Port.p.115
Is: “Select Pupo-ri Naval Base in the target list and click on the first dock crane (yellow). It will turn green in the list and the Recon window will show the selected crane in the center.”
Proposed: “Expand Pupo-ri Naval Base Port in the target list and click on the “Dock Crane” entry. The entry in the list will turn green and the Recon window will show the selected crane in the center - confirm it is the yellow crane.”
Reason: making it clearer what user should do and what is the outcomep.125
Is: “Since only two HARMs can be carried a second TE run need to be done focusing on the SA-4 battery using
the HTS pod and HAD page.”
Proposed: “Since only two HARMs can be carried, a second TE run needs to be done, focusing on the SA-4 battery using the HTS pod and HAD page.” or even better (to my taste): “Since only two HARMs can be carried, a second TE run, focusing on the SA-4 battery using the HTS pod and HAD page, needs to be done.”
Reason: missing “s” suffix in “TE run needs to be done” and punctuation/clause ordering proposal.p.125
Is: “Another targeting system is available only when the AN/ASQ-213 HTS (Harm Targeting System) pod is loaded on the left chin pylon: HAD (Harm Attack Display).”
Proposed: “Another targeting system is available only when the AN/ASQ-213 HTS (HARM Targeting System) pod is loaded on the left chin pylon: HAD (HARM Attack Display).”
Reason: HARM acronym should be in capitalsp.125
missing bullet points before:
SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses).
DEAD (Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses).p.125
Bullet by “PPT 57: SA-2 (fixed) Fan Song missile guidance (‘2’)” has orange color instead of black.p.125
Is: “Before entering 3d, we will have a look at the DTC in 2d.”
Proposed: “Before entering 3D, we will have a look at the DTC in 2D.”
Reason: typo/consistency - 2Dp.128
Is: “4.35 introduced changes if the radar is not emitting:
If the radar is not emitting the missile will either FLEX (…), or GLIDE (…) or hit (…).”
Proposed: “4.35 introduced changes if the radar is not emitting: if the radar is not emitting the missile will either FLEX (…), or GLIDE (…) or hit (…).”
Reason: the line break seems unnecessary since we are enumerating options in a single line rather than in bulleted list.p.130
Is: “Should the missile be fired now it would go toward Steerpoint 4, activate its seeker at a defined range and look for radar emissions from a Fan Song or Spoon rest radar.”
Proposed: “Should the missile be fired now it would go toward Steerpoint 4, activate its seeker at a defined range and look for radar emissions from a Fan Song or Spoon Rest radar.”
Reason: “Spoon Rest” should be capitalizedp.130
In sentence: “The HARM missile is capable of Mach 3+ speeds, has a missile motor burn time of about 45 seconds and a range of up to 60 Nm in BMS. This is longer than any SAM engagement zone in Korea (the SA-10 is 50 Nm and the older SA-5 is 53 Nm).” there seems to be some weird long space between “missile” and “motor” and between “60 Nm” and “in BMS”.Dash-1 4.35
Change 3.00
p.127
Is: “Lead on the other hand has to ensure that the difference between the A/L and the F/R needle values do not exceed 600 Pounds each way.”
Proposed: “Lead, on the other hand, has to ensure that the difference between the A/L and the F/R needle values does not exceed 600 pounds each way.”
Reason: added punctuation around OTOH, decapitalized “pound”, corrected form of the auxiliary verb because it refers to the “difference” not to the “needle values”.p.128
Comma after “obviously” in first paragraph: “Obviously, the centre of gravity moves according to the way the aircraft is loaded.”
Comma after “in this way” in first paragraph: “In this way, fuel load and fuel transfer will greatly impact the centre of gravity position.”
Comma separating parenthetical clause: “The CG moves along two axes, depending on the load, and must remain within certain limits for the aircraft to remain controllable.”
Missing “as”: “In the same way as asymmetric weapon loadouts induce the heavy wings to drop, a fuel heavy wing will drop as well.”p.128
Is: “This CG longitudinal shift is much more subtle than left & right shift because it often goes unnoticed but may induce quicker departure at higher AOA, especially dangerous for aerobatics, approach and landing.”
Proposed: “This CG longitudinal shift is much more subtle than left & right shift, so it often goes unnoticed, but may induce quicker departure at higher AOA, especially dangerous for aerobatics, approach and landing.”
Reason: subtlety causes the longitudinal CG shift being unnoticed, not the other way round, so conjunction “so” is appropriate, not “because”; added commas separating independent clausesp.128
Is: “We can therefore define two types of imbalance and luckily the least dangerous one will probably happen before the more dangerous one, which will help you to correct it before it becomes serious.”
Proposed: “We can therefore define two types of imbalance and, luckily, the least dangerous one will probably happen before the more dangerous one, which will help you to correct it before it becomes serious.”
Reason: punctuationp.128
Is: “Since the left and right side empty first into the fuselage any kind of imbalance happening soon after take-off will probably induce a shift of the CG to the left or to the right, inducing a roll which can be neutralized with the aileron trim in the exact same way an asymmetrical loadout is compensated.”
Proposed: “Since the left and right sides empty first into the fuselage, any kind of imbalance happening soon after take-off will probably cause a shift of the CG to the left or to the right, inducing a roll, which can be neutralized with the aileron trim in the exact same way as an asymmetrical loadout is compensated.”
Reason: punctuation, missing “s” in “sides”
