How to FENCE in/out correctly

[PSYKOnz]

Like it says, how do you fence in or out correctly?

 

Does anyone have a procedure or checklist on how to do it?

 

Turns out when you type f14 fence in on google you get a lot of information on fencing your house/garden

F - Fuel

E - Engine / Emergency airfield

N - NAVAIDs (checking navigation equipment)

C - Comms

E - Equipment

 

It's really just prepping for combat. Many items covered would be briefed before the mission, but for general flight sim stuff:

 

1. Countermeasures - SET

2. RWR - SET

3. Radar - SET

4. Weapons - SET

5. Fuel - CHECK

6. External lights - OFF

(7. Master Arm - ARM)

 

My understanding is that in real life the Master Arm isn't turned on until immediately before weapons release, but unless you have the switch command mapped to your HOTAS, or have a home-cockpit with an actual switch, that's hard to do on a computer.

Execute the pre-Combat checklist...

Man, I am always forgetting that pesky Roll SAS switch every time I fly the Tomcat.

I fly the F-14 since 2 month now and i slowly getting used to it. Befor i start a combat i ask jester to set the countermeasure. Under CMS Mode stands (Fenced In)... what does this mean?

From the multiservice brevity guide

 

"FENCE (in/out)

Set cockpit switches as appropriate prior to entering/exiting the combat area."
