Hi guys,

It is available the first version of the Apache Quick Checklist.

Of course, the folder name is still to be confirmed and some of the procedures yet to be matured, but I think it is pretty solid for a pre-release version.

Download it at: User Files Download AH-64D Quick Checklist.

Here goes a sample:

... Remove because it was old...

I hope you like it. Any feedback is welcome.

On release day I will be off on a TDY, BUT i will be back a couple days after, so I will update it as necessary.

All the best,

Sydy

Any chance of non normal checklists, too? In case we don't get the automatic checklist popup on the engine page?

Hi FalcoGer,

Maybe! I usually don’t make Non-Normals because I like to keep it simple, but I may prepare something, specially for Eng Fire/OEI approach or similar.

Let me mature my Apache Knowledge and then We think about it.

Thank you for the suggestion.

The technical manual, chapter 9 (page 955, and following) have the checklists.

Also the apache has a feature of optionally (which makes me think dcs might not have this) loading checklists into the data cartridge. These checklists would be displayed on the engine page (which would autopage on the left MFD unless flight instrumentation is displayed there (which would then make it autopage on the right)). The bottom section would be replaced with the checklist items.

If that feature is available then we don't need a kneeboard QRH.

Engine fire (Inflight) checklist is

1. Power lever, affected engine - off
2. Illuminated engine fire button - push
3. Fire Disch Button(s) - press
4. Land as soon as possible

Thank you, @corbu1! The timing was much better than I thought... I thought the release would be on the 30th or 31st!!! Better this way!

Almost finishing my download here.

All the best!

Okay ... followed the instructions and installed to the proper directory in saved games.  I think.

It isn't showing up in the cockpit.  What am I doing wrong here @Sydy?  Has anyone got this working?

Thanks!

Hey @Sydy - just wondering what tool you use to create the document?  The layout is incredibly useful.  Thanks!  I made my own Huey kneeboard using a very similar kneeboard that I screen grabbed off YouTube.  Maybe it was yours as this looks very similar.  I love when people do things like this for the community.  Thanks!

Oh, and here's the kneeboard I slapped together for the Huey in case you're wondering how it turned out.

Hi @Mistermann,

I originally just did it for me in 2017, but a friend of mine asked for it and said if I could do another one for the L-39 as well. I started doing that with Word (believe me LOL), but then I decided to change a bit. Now I do the basic format on Excel, save it on PDF then snap shot via Corel to PNG and it works fine for me.

I was told that this format helps a lot for the VR guys (I use TrackIr).

Nice checklist of yours. By the items in it,  it was based on mine as well (exactly the same items). All my Quick Checklists are available on the User Files Download Page covering all modules.

Btw, I just updated the Apache checklist to vs 1.1 just to correct the installation folder.

All the best,

Sydy

Well its great to know where it came from.  I couldn't find it in the forums or downloads.  I snagged it from @lankypilot77 youtube replays of Paradise Lost campaign.  That kneeboard made its way into that campaign.  I wasn't sure where it was located (I since figured it out), so I just spent 10 minutes creating a new one.  

Thanks for the inspiration!

Do you have all your kneeboards someplace?  I should check them out, if you do.

Hi @Mistermann,

 

I didn't know they were using it there! How cool is that! 🤩

If you want to browse some other Checklists I made, here goes the link for the user files download page filter:

😀 I just roamed thru the Apache core mods/aircraft folder and saved games folder and checked how they named the main folders for the Apache... Then I tried them one by one.
