Can somebody post the real startup procedure for the a10c ? Like a real pilot would do it ? Because the tutorial mission misses a lot of things and is not up to date as far as I know it.
I moved from the tutorial mission to the procedure in the manual but even there are things missing and different. It doesn't tell me when to arm EAC or the ejection seat. I know that I'm able to arm EAC after INS alignment and after choosing EGI but I want the real procedure.
In the tutorial mission you activate oxygen at the start after testing it, in the manual you activate it before taxiing. Tutorial mission says flaps 20° and manual says flaps 7° for takeoff.
Also there is a startup-checklist at the end of the manual and even the procedure there differs from the one starting at p.427. Checklist says to enable TGP before CICU and IFCC, startup from p.427 says to enable it after CICU and IFCC, for example.
Would be cool to hear something from a real A10c pilot. Because I don't think the army is telling their pilots "Hit the switches in any order you want, as long as it all works".
Another question:
I know that one should test the pitot heat, but how to tell if it is operating correctly ? How long should it be enabled before turning it off again ?
