I have an update on the manual. I've been working on it for a couple of weeks now. I havn't posted anything yet because I was having problems with getting the graphics to work properly but that has been solved. Attached is just the incomplete PDF. I have it set up so all the graphics are in one folder, and LaTex will only look in this folder. I also have the document separated into several TeX documents. They are broken down like this:
Main Manual Document (which includes section 1)
2 SSU Systems
3 Flight Data Files
4 Mission Files
5 Scenario Files
These are shown in the posted pdf but all they are right now is the main section title, and most of section one is complete.
I'm approaching this like we are introducing STS to someone for the first time. Because eventually, there will be new users that will have never seen a shuttle actually fly. So until we can just say "Read the SCOM" I feel that it would be best to explain not only SSU features but give a general description of STS. Another thing I'm doing is to set up the manual in the same style as SCOM so that the transition for users back and forth will be smooth, hopfully.
