greyeagle787 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Hi Minsky, great job on these checklists!! I have just 1 problem, tho. When I opened them inside the cockpit, they came out blurry and hard to read. I’m fairly new to DCS so is there some setting I should change to make them clearer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have other kneeboards (from other authors) that are also blurry? Try changing the highlighted options and see if that helps. If not, then I'm out of ideas 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyeagle787 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I’m in VR using a Reverb G2. Problem pretty much resolves itself when I increase the size of the kneeboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASAP Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Suggested edit: item 7 should be “fuel indicator - wing” (instead of main) reason: after testing the indicator pilots set it to the wing position because the wing tanks drain first. They will keep it in that position so they can monitor that fuel is flowing correctly from both tanks and no imbalance is developing that could lead to trapped fuel and CG issues. Once both wing tanks are empty roughly around 6900lbs the pilot would make an inter-flight radio call “(flight position number)’s 6.9, wings dry” which initiates an ops check for the other flight members. Then they’d set the indicator switch to main and continue to monitor fuel draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting info, thanks. Could this be some local practice? I mean, I'm not arguing with the logic, it's just that the published checklist says it should be set to MAIN after testing. 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mention the fuel quantity indicator gets in the real checklist is “fuel quantity - check” The requirements for the “wings dry” call comes from other procedural guidance documents that applies to all A-10 ops. Also the pilot is required to monitor proper operation of the fuel system and it is not possible to do that sufficiently with the selector is set to main. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I found this explained in one of the AFIs. Could it be that they switch it to MAIN during startup, and then to WING later? 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These docs change over time. May be one’s more current than the other. but you can’t fulfill the requirements outlined in 11-2A10 if the switch is in MAIN. There’s also no good reason to be in that position because you won’t see the needles move until the wings are dry. 8 hours ago, Minsky said: Could it be that they switch it to MAIN during startup, and then to WING later? Maybe but what would that get you other than less situational awareness of your fuel state? Especially if you’re on the ground with the APU running for during extended ground ops. The resulting fuel imbalance would only be apparent if looking at the wing tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resulting fuel imbalance would only be apparent if looking at the wing tanks. Would they even care about a wing tank imbalance? AFAIK you could fly with one wing tank full and the other empty, the only prohibition is keeping the main tanks balanced to stay within CG limits, so it makes sense to keep the the fuel display on MAIN, with the TKS UNEQUAL warning light as a backup. If you need to check the wing tanks when lead calls for an ops check, just flip it to WING and call 'wings dry' if they're empty. It doesn't sound like the sort of thing to monitor continuously, unlike the main tank situation Edited April 18, 2023 by jaylw314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
