Start-up Procedure Inconsistencies

[Johnny Dioxin]

I'm doing a start-up guide and have been through the tutorial mission, and the manual (and Chuck's guide for that matter) several times now and found that firstly they aren't consistent - different things, different order, which may not be that big an issue, but I also noticed that the start-up tutorial mission does not even mention the alternator switches. Not even a 'check' of them.

On the real aircraft, the alternators are checked to be "ON" during the "After Entering Cabin" section of the Cold Start Procedure, but this section is most often overlooked on DCS. Here is my take on the Start-Up, following the procedure of the real aircraft as much as I could:

Hi @Rudel_chw!

Good document for a more complete start process. Just to clarify, both the incidence test switch and the flight control test panel are fully simulated now.

The 'after entering cabin' part is included in the start-up tutorial, but I guess it isn't quite as thorough as in the actual aircraft and probably most virtual pilots won't bother with that anyway, but the ALT switches aren't mentioned in that either. I just wasn't sure if they were worth putting in my guide/kneeboard - I reckon I'll just put a check item in there, that should take care of it.

btw - they are mentioned in the procedure listed in the dev's quick start guide - just not in the actual tutorial mission.

Nice document, thanks

I'm really enjoying this plane - I was looking for a module to concentrate on for a few months and I think I've found it in the Mirage F1 - much more my kind of thing.

Thanks for the update, I haven't flown the F1 in a while, but will try to update my cold start mission to cater for it as soon as I have a little available time
