4.36 has introduced new features that are currently not documented at all:
- hung store
- malfunction
- lights
- SJ mastermode & stores
etc …
will be they in next release?
-
At some point yes but we lack people to refactor the dash 1…
No promises thus…
Ps: before you ask, no we can’t update the existing dash 1… long story short, the previous maintainer of it left us with a little nasty surprise…

@MaxWaldorf just curious if you know what authoring software was used? Unfortunately, my tech writing experience was on some pretty old software so I most likely can’t be of much help.
On the other hand, I have helped edit some major turbine engine manufacturer’s manuals cobbled together from scans of 60 year old pages next to brand new pages with the revisions. I know that is not the quality that BMS wants, but it is a real world problem in the industry.
-
LOL the tool is called word …
But that’s not the issue. I won’t get into the nasty internal BMS sauce, so just consider that the current dash in it’s current form cannot be touched… We need to build a new one … End of story.

As Max said, touching the “old” Dash-1 is a no go.
But all those topics are also explained in the -34 and training manual. If you miss any info, please report in the docs bugtracker. -

Watch dev videos about them

@Snake122 - for .pdf all you really need is Adobe Acrobat Pro, as long as the originals weren’t locked/passworded…in which case I think you can still do a “save as” to create your own editable copy - sometimes this has worked for me, sometimes it hasn’t. This can also be locked out…which is sort of what things are sounding like.
In which case you’re left to scan to text…but I’m also thinking there’s more caveats in the mix than just the foregoing…

@Stevie or a copyright issue, I noticed the -1 has a “combatsimchecklist series” reference that the others don’t seem to have. I think that could be an explanation for needing to start from scratch.
-
@84hd79 - yeah, that, Export/distro restriction, etc. Could be any one of a number of things.

With “next release”, do you mean it’s uncertain if it will make it in time for the next major version (4.37) or the next minor update?
