Anyone knows where i can find a realistic F-16CM Bl.50 startup checklist? Everybody seems to care only for a fast startup, i am looking for the most realistic possible, I found this video by Bogey Dope which looks closer to what i am looking for, but is there a checklist too?

The DCS F-16C Early Access Guide includes such procedures in both the Procedures chapter and Appendix A.

It is as close to a realistic checklist as what can be publically researched.

A few years ago, I edited this cold start mission, that aimed at being as realistic as possible:

@GregkarCheck my youtube video.  It is as in depth as possible.  A bit older but I did some things to future proof.  Still waiting on a few features like DTC and some others to be in until I update it.  But it goes over literally everything.

Try this one. They got more juicy stuff in their download section like the F-16C SCL and the NTTR mission with all the real life ranges plus a range information tool on their website.

Have fun 🫡

For example, the one linked in my signature, which goes into your F-16 kneeboard. It is derived from real world F-16 checklists, but shortened to skip items that do not apply to DCS (like, for example, pulling out locking pins and similar items that you cannot do in DCS anyway).

Chuck's latest F-16 guide's version seems pretty extensive .. https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/f-16cm/

As realistic as its gonna get. It doesn't take a team of engineers to start an F-16. High school dropouts in the AF start up jets all the time. 


Yes, anyone able to read can follow a checklist … but understanding what each step does, is another matter. Btw, your appreciation for the AirForce cadets is appalling  🙄
