Back in the DOS days, Flight Simulator had an awesome printed manual, with detailed how to fly instructions and, IIRC, a whole bunch of airport maps.

More generally, the manuals of 80s-90s simulation games were often quite packed with detailed real-world info.

I love old PC games that include printed manuals, but flight sims often were the best. Falcon 4.0 shipped with a nearly 600-page manual that dug deep into basic operations of the airplane.
