3 of the classics - if you’re still flying the classics.
I could drop these off at a donation center, but wanted to see first if anyone here would like the packages.
First private message here with your address gets them.

To add to this thread… I have Jane’s Longbow 2 and Jane’s F15 classic edition to anyone who wants them, asked a year or so ago, no one did.
I would love to fly Longbow 2 again, but I have no CD ROM slot anymore, my PC’s are all digital. 
And of course the hassle of getting it to work.
That’s a good point. I actually want these packages but haven’t even had drive like that (or even any sort of pop-out disk) for a while now.
There might be a bit of business in mounting them in cases, so of like fishing trophies. 
DCS World, EECH, FSX, and BMS has all my flight time. Then there are the 5 racing sims.
Someone should get good use out of them.

Done. That didn’t take long.

For anyone who has the time and inclination, you can get an external USB 2.0 DVD drive for $25 USD that works fine.

That Janes F/A-18 manual is fantastic.

Think a Windows 7 machine may run them…Win 10?…probably not so much…one can always try GOG–if they have the game, enter your reg code and download a version that works with Win 10 for free…for me it was a couple of Stalker games…of course, the first sample is always free…then they have you hooked.
In a different timeline I’d like to imagine the whole set of Chuck’s Guides glossy full color printed with ring bindings, with a beautiful cover photo. There is something great about ring bound manuals and flight sims.
EDIT: So somewhere a bit expensive like https://documents.staples.com does stuff like this. Easier to do that I thought. Not sure the $44 for a 75 page manual is good though…

Absolutely!
Good idea about using a printing service.
That guy who made the LOMAC manual had plans for more. I wonder what he would’ve made for all these glorious DCS modules, had he still been with us.

Those bring back memories. I still have my Janes F-15E special addition collectors box with the giant map, etc. That I’ll never part with. I still have my Microprose Gunship for C64. Again, they all mean too much to me to part with. So many memories.

@Corsair8X: I totally understand.
Like my floppy disks plus Manual of “Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat”.

I finally dumped the majority of my old CD/DVD games when I moved 3 years ago due to space considerations. I did keep most of the good manuals, though I may need to revisit that soon as time has proven I really don’t ever look at them anymore.
I never had Jane’s F/A-18, the poor performance reports combined with having iF/A-18E from iMagic already put me off. I regretted it in later years, though. The F-15 and two Longbow titles were among my favorite flight sims of the 90s.
I never had that B-17 either. That’s the 2nd one, right, with the aborted fighter stuff after the MP was yanked? I played a lot of the first one in the early 90s, and was hyped for an MP-capable one, but once MPS dumped MP around the time of the Hasbro buyout I forgot about it.
Unlike some here, I still have a DVD drive in my PC and don’t plan on getting rid of it! 
However, I’ve not used it for a game or even to install any software for that matter in years. It’s mostly music/movies now, last time I used it for games was to install an old copy of No One Lives Forever 1 and 2 several years ago (still two of the best FPS games ever made…a shame the rights are lost).
I loved that sim! And F119 stealth fighter. I still have floppy disc one - I use it as a coster.

F119 was the Canadian version.
