MTFDarkEagle Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Cool! Now I can start memorizing the checklist ;) I have to wait for the end of the month to purchase the a-10c, because I get my paycheck then :P (ahum just enough money for the tm warthog atm :P) Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
Eddie Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Thanks Sobek, As said above the checklists are a WIP, the normal operation sections are complete but the emergency checklists and performance data sections still have quite a lot of work to be done. Hope you all find them useful. 6
Ells228 Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Awesome work, many thanks Eddie. Edit >> I'm just checking as don't know the correct answer to these, but are some steps missing and can you clarify on DTS load, can you load whilst BIT test is still going? This is what I've noted for my checklist: Electrical Startup Batt to Power Inverter to Standby Lamp Test Fuel indicator test (Test Ind) Oxy flow to On Oxy Ind test Lights On as required Com1 Radio VHF to TR Squelch Set frequency Com2 Radio VHF to TR Squelch Set frequency UHF dial to Main Close Canopy APU & Engine Startup Boost pump switches to On (all 4) L+R fuel flow switch to Norm APU Start - check APU EGT temp to 400 and RPM to 100% APU Gen to PWR AC Gen switches to Up (L+R) Left throttle to Idle -checks as per your list Right throttle to idle - checks as per your list Flight control check Generator APU to Off Power APU to Off Uncage SAI Pre-Flight Setup CDU + EGI to On CICU to On IFCC to Test Press Enter on HUD to initiate BIT test Yaw SAS Engage L+R Pitch SAS Engage L+R T/O Trim Set EAC to On On HUD Exit BIT test (once complete) DTS Load All - Not sure if you can load this whilst BIT test is still going? Set right MFCD to CDU Exit menu’s on HUD IFCC to On Right MFCD to CDU Nav mode Left MFCD to TAD Set Steer Point to FLT PLAN CMSP to Standby Set system select switches to On JTRS to On Anti Skid to On Nosewheel Steering to On These are the steps in the training lesson, nothing to do with my knowledge lol Many thanks, Chris.

Furia Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Excellent work! Very professional :thumbup: So far this is the checklist I am using now for the basic aircraft operations.

BoneDust Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 THanks for the checklists guys. The JTAC operation is very cool. I created a mission tonight and tried it.

Frogfoot1606687865 Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Right here goes, I've been flying a few missions with JTAC support and have a few questions. 1) Does any one else experience the odd game crash at different points of communicating with the JTAC? For instance one crash happened as I signed in, another at the moment the assignment was complete and he confirmed the targets destroyed. I am going to see if I can narrow down what causes it so I can do a decent bug report. 2) When tasked by a JTAC to take out a target, I have the location of the TAD (little red square) and instructions like "attack MM218 546, attack heading 50/120 egress to TOAD, SA6 0.6/ NE Would it be best practice to create a new route on the CDU with WP1 being an IP some 7m on a reciprical bearing between 50 and 100 degrees from the target, WP2 bieng the target Mark, and then waypoint 3 being TOAD Cheers Tom Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Gigabyte EX58-UD5, Intel i7 920 Corsair H70 water cooled @4GHz), Corsair XMS3 12GB (6x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel, Nvidia GTX780, OCZ Vertex 256GB SSD (for OS+DCS), TrackIR 5, TM Warthog HOTAS + Saitek Rudder
nomdeplume Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 1) Does any one else experience the odd game crash at different points of communicating with the JTAC? Yep, I've had a few crashes too. I'm waiting for the next beta before reporting anything though, since the JTAC is definitely WIP at the moment and will probably have a lot of changes in the next beta. Likelihood of reporting already-known bugs therefore seems pretty high. 2) Would it be best practice to create a new route on the CDU with WP1 being an IP some 7m on a reciprical bearing between 50 and 100 degrees from the target, WP2 being the target Mark, and then waypoint 3 being TOAD I think "best practice" is "whatever works best for you" - each pilot will find their own style. Having waypoints to follow like that probably can't hurt. On the other hand, it does take time to set them up, so you might find it makes your response time too high so you'll have to decide what to do based on the situation and how much setup time you get. Plus, you might want to use what setup time you have scanning for threats. With practice you can probably become pretty efficient at setting up these waypoints, so it might be worth it. A similar idea is to switch to Mark Point mode and create mark points at the relevant locations, and just remember which mark corresponds to what. This is very quick to do on the TAD.
hassata Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Anyone know if Eddie is planning on putting together weapons employment sections? Thanks [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
shu77 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Coming together quite nicely. Like Hassata I was wondering if you're going to add anything on weapons and fence checks etc, as they were the next thing I had on my list after I finished my AP diagrams.

Eddie Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Anyone know if Eddie is planning on putting together weapons employment sections? Thanks Yes I am, as well as standard fence in/out checks. All that stuff will be included along with all the emergency checklists that are relevant to the sim. I won't be able to do any more work on it until mid Jan so don't expect to see a final release until sometime in Feb. 1
kylania Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Anyone have trouble printing this? It kept killing my printer when I tried, memory overflows. Finally had to print it one page at time and even then pictures didn't display.

Eddie Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Anyone have trouble printing this? It kept killing my printer when I tried, memory overflows. Finally had to print it one page at time and even then pictures didn't display. Sounds like a problem on your end mate, it's printed fine each of the numerous times I've done a hard copy while writing it. I do intend to optimise it a bit more as well. I also plan on doing some A5 "quicklists" for those that would like them for kneeboards etc. Although of course you can print these in A5 size should you wish.
CrashEd Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I do intend to optimise it a bit more as well. I also plan on doing some A5 "quicklists" for those that would like them for kneeboards etc. Although of course you can print these in A5 size should you wish. I took the liberty of doing this Eddie, hope you don't mind! (if you do, let me know and I'll remove the link). All I've done is put two 9-line cards onto one sheet of A4. It just makes printing a little more efficient for those of use who are tight when it comes to ink ;) The formatting got a little screwed up when I converted it to a PDF, but you should be able to fold it in half and cut down the middle. You'll then have two, handy, A5-sized 9-line briefs from one sheet of A4. Should fit nicely into a kneeboard-sized wallet :) Hope it's of some use! http://rapidshare.com/files/427795011/STANDARD_9-LINE_CARD_2.zip p/w: nineline

Sabre-TLA Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Sounds like a problem on your end mate, it's printed fine each of the numerous times I've done a hard copy while writing it.

It's a wonderful piece of work. Let me know if you want any help as I would love to contribute. I printed it off in A5 format (8"x5") and punched holes to fit my Flyboy's kneeboard. Works great!

hassata Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Eddie, in case you are revising soon, shouldn't there be an 'Oxygen On' item before run-up. Looking forward to the complete set. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
