Dear Eagle Dynamics,

 

as I am exclusively using VR for enjoying your simulation as a whole, could you please create kneeboard normal & emergency procedures officially as a built-in feature starting with the Viper?

 

Up to now, for every plane I had to download community created kneeboard pages (thanks to the creators) or design my own as I was not happy with the existing solutions.

 

Without checklists in VR, a simulator within DCS cannot be used like it is meant to be used, especially when learning a new module. The training missions are fine, but their "guidance" cannot be transferred or re-used any other mission. As a real world general aviation pilot I always stick to the checklists and would not want to introduce "bad habits" by using pseudo memorized checklists - too much can go wrong, especially in complex aircraft.

 

A kneeboard directly provided by DCS or by the corresponding 3rd Party Studio would also help in keeping frustration to a minumum when using a module to its full potential.

 

I read the Viper early access manual and the way the checklist are designed is very good (action and location) and I would be very happy if this would set a standard for a Viper kneeboard and upcoming releases, be it by Eagly Dynamics or 3rd Party Studios.

 

Yours,

Christian

I do have startup kneeboard checklists already prepared for the Viper, will probably upload once it's possible to upload user files for the module specifically ^^

It is vital that the community is quick and helps where they can, but I believe that these procedures should be part of each new module

Think also of people who are new to DCS and / or do not follow the forums as we do - after all such directly prepared kneeboards would complete each module.

I actually like to write my own, it helps a lot when learning the aircraft, and also help when one goes back to flying the plane after a few months off.

 

What I would love to have, is that ED changed the order of the kneeboard pages, putting first the mission kneeboard, followed by our custom kneeboard (at /Saved Games/), and then the standard aircraft's kneeboard and last the Map's kneeboard ... currently, the Mission's Kneeboard is last.
