Ben Russell Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 The fail system is strong in this one. Quote
MaidenFan Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Posted March 22, 2011 I'll probably get it. It looks like a heck of a simulation. Only problem: do I have time to learn Russian systems? Hehe Quote
eaglewing7 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 From what I can gather from the style of the write up, this was written by Felis and then translated, which gives some of the grammatical idiosyncrasies and rather interesting errors... Quote
Ben Russell Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Given the veritable tomes of text to rewrite in ones own words I can certainly understand managements decision to go with a quick hasty, who the hell cares anyway, google translation, copy and paste, yah that'll do... Quote
StevenM Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 I bought it, but it was late here so i'll try it tonight. Docs are better than the an-24 and glancing it over the plane seems a tad simpler to handle. I hope he keeps making russian retro planes. Quote
clavel9 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Looking forward to hearing people's opinions. It's exactly the sort of aeroplane I like to fly. I might splash out next week - finances permitting! Quote

Ben Russell Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 2nd post refers explicity to the ad and only the ad.4th makes reference to auto translators.5th makes a jab at the level of care and attention referring back to the ad again which is no more than half an hours work to rewrite from the translation so that you the customer are given a clear and coherent description of the product you're about to purchase.Translating a manual is a serious chunk of work.Translating a 1 page advertisement summary is not.I still say it's sub par on the behalf or the merchant, not the producer.

Simmo W Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Dozer, I hope that clears it up. I originally spotted the error in the ad, and yes I think it smacks of poor value-add by the retailer. First impressions do count. I actually love the quaint rusky way of writing things, but not in a headline advert. Ha, and the error is still there! Virtaully at least.. Quote
Dozer Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 I'm very sorry Ben, I don't know what I was thinking! Quote
