Prepar3D Forums

Don't we get any documentation or instructions about how to fly the aircraft or submersibles or drones that come with Prepar3d? Really? Is that possible because I can't find them.

Try the Lockheed Martin "Learning centre" option in the Windows menu.
Not manuals as such but should tell you.

Already looked there. They are not there. The fact that I haven't gotten an answer to what should be a simple question tells me that there aren't any. Seems hard to believe.

The ones that are available are in Prepar3D v4\Ecosystem

Where is the Ecosystem? does that mean I have to search the internet to find them from some other source?
I did find some documentation for the Lockheed Martin planes. I found them in the plane folders in the form of HTM files.
One Reference and one checklist.

In the folder C-130 Base there is a folder called Manual. In that folder is a PDF Manual for the C-130 series of planes!!!
If only all the planes had this kind of documentation!

I do think this is a general miss in almost all aircrafts. Very bad. In the aicrafts aircraft.cfg file, section [Reference Speed] you find the most critical speeds. Take flaps_up_stall_speed times 1.3 and you have the approach speed. Important speed when landing.

"Where is the Ecosystem?"

As DvavWG mentioned:

Your drive letter path to P3D\Prepar3D v4\Ecosystem

example:
C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Ecosystem

Thank you both DaveWG and Vaughan. I did find a few more Documentation Manuals. Very helpful. I also went back and found 3 uses of the word ecosystem in the Learning Center, one of which referred to the Ecosystem Folder. I guess I missed it!!!
