Sandman Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I've just uploaded a new A-10C profile to the SCS site: http://www.scsimulations.com/forums/showthread.php?942-DCS-A-10C-Profile-with-Interactive-Checklists&p=5740#post5740 This profile is based on Gadroc's excellent A-10C profile, but adapted to allow switching on a single monitor (I only have 2 monitors, not 3 or 4!). Whilst creating the profile I realised I could also add check-lists, so this profile also includes 6 interactive check-list panels that (where possible/appropriate) show your progress based on the actual state of the aircraft. The check-lists cover: - aircraft start-up/taxi/take-off - AA refuelling - JTAC flow - Caution Info (not really a check-list - just info on what the caution lights mean) - Approach/Landing - Taxi/Shutdown The main panel includes 6 switch-able sub-panels covering: - Flight instruments - Environment/Electrical/SAS - Fuel/LASTE/Aux - Comms - CDU - Armament & Countermeasures The CDU panel also includes an information panel giving hints about the various CDU functions (I still find the damn thing so complicated that I need some help when using it!). To the lower left of the main panel (on Monitor 2) is a control panel with buttons that allow panel switching and display of the check-lists. The check-lists are toggle buttons, so you just press the same button again to remove them. There's also a caution panel pop-up linked to the unused TM Warthog pinky lever on the stick. If you have a different stick you'll need to remap that. I've done my best to debug the profile but producing the check-lists was a lot of work so it hasn't had extensive testing (but I was keen to post it rather than wait) - if you find problems please post back to the SCS thread (link at the top) and I'll do my best to fix them. The check-lists aren't perfect yet (either in content or function) - but they're better than nothing. The zip file also includes the A-10C display profile used to get the MFCDs to appear correctly in the main panel. My monitors are both 1280x1024, so the display profile is 2560x1024. Obviously you'll need to adapt if you have different resolutions. Final note: I don't have a touch-screen display so these are designed more for use with a mouse (i.e. control size may be too small for touch screens in some cases). EDIT 14.02.2010: Added a zip containing JPEGs of just the checklist panels for printing if you don't have Helios. This includes a new Stores panel added in V1.1 of the profile.Checklist Screenshots.zip Edited February 14, 2011 by Sandman 2 Intel Core i7-950, 6GB Corsair DDR3, Nvidia GTX460 1GB, TM HOTAS Warthog, CH Rudder Pedals, Track-IR4Pro, Helios
power5 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I like the pop up check lists. Great idea. Could use one for JTAC for sure. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109

dwpenney Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Awesome Sandman! Those checklists are a great idea! I might have to borrow then (with your permission) for my own profile Fridge ---------- Things which do you no good in aviation: 1) Altitude above you; 2) Runway behind you; 3) Fuel in the truck; 4) The airspeed you don't have.
Sandman Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks guys :) Awesome Sandman! Those checklists are a great idea! I might have to borrow then (with your permission) for my own profile No worries dwpenney -that's half the point of uploading them - anyone is free to re-use and adapt them. Just let me know if you make any improvements, fix bugs etc. so that I can fix my own profile.

GregP Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Wow, Sandman, that profile looks incredible, nice work! I myself use SoftTH with 3 monitors, so I don't think Helios is currently an option for me, but man it's tempting after seeing the coolness that it's capable of. Thanks for sharing.

Many thanks Greg - yep Helios is just so powerful - they've done a great job with it. NB. Just added a ZIP file containing all the check-list panels in JPEG for printing as some people were requesting - see top of thread. 1 Intel Core i7-950, 6GB Corsair DDR3, Nvidia GTX460 1GB, TM HOTAS Warthog, CH Rudder Pedals, Track-IR4Pro, Helios
Boberro Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Can't use it now, but it seems it is great thing! Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
Spetz Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Just looking at your screenies..On the shutdown checklist you have "Oxygen System - ON"..should that not read OFF ? Looks great otherwise !
Scooternutz Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Brilliant work! You make me want to redo mine now. [sIGPIC]https://drive.google.com/file/d/16rUBmmJR7A3YGZVGPGskxG1XtvulGojJ/view?usp=sharing[/sIGPIC]
Sandman Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Just looking at your screenies..On the shutdown checklist you have "Oxygen System - ON"..should that not read OFF ? Looks great otherwise ! Thanks Spetz - yes I spotted this the other day - fixed in V1.1 (uploaded to the SCS thread) but I couldn't be bothered to re-do the screenshots. Brilliant work! You make me want to redo mine now. Thanks. Helios is such a great tool - endless possibilities...
