Popular Post Minsky Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) The F/A-18C Kneeboard Suite is a three-part collection of checklists, data tables, CASE charts and other useful things for the Hornet. Subscribe to this topic for changelogs and announcements. Feedback is appreciated. 1. Checklists, Quickstart, Ordnance >> Download from User Files << 16 August 2023 - Another round of subtle tweaks to make the kneeboards easier to use. - Properly inverted night version added instead of the old "dimmed" variant. 09 April 2023 - Combat Checks revised once again (thanks, MARLAN_). These checklists are based on the real-world procedures and published data as closely as it is practicable for the DCS environment. Also included: the comprehensive ordnance table, the HAFU/BRA helper, and the quickstart page (30 steps, zero aircraft knowledge required). 2. CASE I/II/III, ACL, Overhead Break, LSO Grades >> Download from User Files << 16 August 2023 - Properly inverted night version added instead of the old "dimmed" variant. 26 July 2022 - Minor update: added a tiny CV spawning helper to the last page. This part aims to go beyond NATOPS and CNATRA in explaining the CASE I/II/III and ACL procedures. Most of the data comes from the exceptional guide by Pieter Ras that he created with support and approval from the real-world Hornet pilots. Please also watch a great video on CASE I Cyclic Ops made by Pieter. 3. RWR Threats, HARM Radar Codes >> Download from User Files << 20 December 2023 - ED rolled back previous changes and merged two SA-10's Flap Lids into one RWR entity. - SA-10 got its own Tin Shield model. It shares the RWR symbol and HARM ID with the SA-5's Tin Shield. 17 November 2023 - Flap Lid-B and its HARM code added. 20 October 2023 - Centurion C-RAM added. LS Ropucha updated. This kneeboard offers the complete list of all airborne, ground, and naval emitters currently detectable by the Hornet's RWR. Their HARM codes, engagement ranges, and recommended countermeasures are also provided. Note that only the radar emitters (so, no SA-9) found in the vanilla DCS (so, no HDS) are currently included. PDF version (all parts combined) These links are permanent and always lead to the latest version, so you can bookmark them: Day variant - https://dimon.one/dimon/files/FA-18C_Kneeboard_Suite_Day_by_DimOn_latest.pdf Night variant - https://dimon.one/dimon/files/FA-18C_Kneeboard_Suite_Night_by_DimOn_latest.pdf Edited December 20, 2023 by Minsky 20 December 2023 - RWR kneeboard updated 32 41 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War_Pig Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Awesome kneeboard suite! Thanks for sharing, this will prove incredibly useful to me in learning to be a better Hornet driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashy Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I've been using your Hornet kneeboard pages for awhile now and have found them beautifully formatted and crammed with useful information. Thanks for putting these together. I really like how information is organized on the various pages. I have ne question regarding the PDF format after doing a quick search for info. Does the PDF format require something like "Kneeboard Builder" to use in-game? Or can they be used as-is? Thanks again for creating these! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the same kneeboard images, 'glued' together into the single, iPad-optimized file. 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloose Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Thank you so much Minsky for your great work! I already use all parts of the kneeboard suite and really like the formatting, style and info provided. Very high quality and it looks like you can even improve it. Would love to have this type of kneeboards also for other modules, but I understand that this is probably already a lot of work. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minsky Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hey guys, the new version is up! The links are in the first post. This is the complete overhaul of the whole Kneeboard Suite, with several new pages, superior data and the all-new design for improved readability. Took me more than three months of hard work, but I'm pretty happy with the results. Hope you will like it as well. The next update is slated for next week (or whenever the 2.7 finally lands), but it will be fairly minor. 3 4 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
