Gierasimov Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 There is. Have I overlooked the obvious or is there not a preflight checklist for the airplane in DCS? Sure you can do that for the sake of simulation / immersion: Follow Wags or consult the documentation -- Intel i7-13700KF :: ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI D4 :: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB :: MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio :: VKB Gunfighter MK.III MCG Ultimate :: VPC MongoosT-50 CM3 :: non-VR :: single player :: open beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore42 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 NATOPS manual for the F/A-18C has lots of pre flight checks, although most of the default switch positions are where you want them if you're doing normal procedures. But it's a good way to familiarize yourself with the cockpit and I'm a big fan of checklists :) type into a search engine "NATOPS F/A-18A/B/C/D" and it'll come up. You're looking for Part III "Normal Procedures." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMEDooley Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Or just try to find the NFM-500 which is the pilots pocket checklist. Also if you download the 476th F/A-18 checklist it is based off of the NFM-500. http://www.476vfightergroup.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=493 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not complete, I still have to write more of the emergency procedures, but it is slow going. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
