Oh no sir, I have read all three, several times in fact. And part's II & III do pertain to the sim and are not NASA manuals. Part II is "systems", and part III is flight procedures.
The NASA manuals you refer to are not availible from the start menu, but are located in a folder within the Captain sim folder inside the main FSX folder.

Excerpt from part III (flight procedures), page 6

The entry phase is initiated by pressing P key
(altitude of 400,000 ft) and continues to the
entry TAEM interface.
The fundamental guidance requirement during
entry is to reach the TAEM interface (~2500
ft/s, altitude of approximately 82,000 ft)
within specified limits on range (about 50
nautical miles (n. mi.)) from the selected
heading alignment cone (HAC) and with a
velocity heading within a few degrees of
tangency with the HAC.

During a nominal entry, the flight control system (FCS) is in the AUTO mode and the flight crew function is
primarily one of monitoring the operation and performance of the guidance, navigation, and control systems.
Warning:
Do not press Y (turns OFF SLEW mode) during Entry phase because that will
affect programmed automatic entry and TAEM interface guidance.

The entry guidance system controls the entry trajectory by holding GPS track while flying a predesigned
velocity profile. The profile is designed to be compatible with heating and stability constraints.
MANUAL CONTROL
During a nominal entry in the AUTO mode crew can manually correct the vehicle position using SLEW keys.
Warning:
Do not press Y (turns OFF SLEW mode) during Entry phase because that will
affect programmed automatic entry and TAEM interface guidance.
Lateral guidance corrections.
If necessary correct lateral position on GPS track using SLEW keys (left-right arrows keys and End-Page
Down keys).
