DRAKO Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi guys, we of Vipersnest realized a couple of documents on Ramp-Start procedure. One is in Italian but images are fully understandable The check-list on the other hand, may be used by everyone GO to www.vipersnest.it, navigate to Download page and look at the first two PDF's on the top (of the 'Documenti VsN' section) This docs have been written in accordance to DCS A-10C Ramp Start practice mission (Beta 4) but as it all is a work in progress it may vary. Report errors if there are Hoping this may help someone else... Thank you :joystick: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69105 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 haha, thanks! This is so useful. This definitely beats my hand-written startup procedure list that is absolutely incomprehensible from all of the chicken scratching speed writing.

S77th-konkussion Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) On the subject of ED changing the startup procedures- A suggestion: Since the switches all seem to be in a default position (ready to go)- going on and on about fuel systems, nav systems, & radio switches that are apparently ALWAYS going to be in the correct position doesn't really seem necessary to me. I realize that in the real cockpit these are things that need to be checked everytime- but in this case- the plane is coming up in exactly the same state. Don't need 40 steps in the checklist about switches that are already going to be set.

I realize that in the real cockpit these are things that need to be checked everytime- but in this case- the plane is coming up in exactly the same state. Don't need 40 steps in the checklist about switches that are already going to be set. When launching out an A-10 the only switches I set for the pilot are the boost pump switches (all 4), the AC Gen PWR switches (both) and certain items on the intercom panel. Also, real world bleed air and main air are NEVER off, they are left in the on position when doing your BPO/PR inspection. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S77th-konkussion Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I would guess they have some sort of shutdown procedure too- don't need to have fuel and potential ignition sources mingling in a hangar. Just seems that since any potential randomness of the switches' state is not present in DCS- the checklist in its current form is seriously bloated.

Just seems that since any potential randomness of the switches' state is not present in DCS- the checklist in its current form is seriously bloated. Both us (ground crew/crew chiefs) and the pilot has a checklist. We have fuel catchers that we have to use when shutting down both engines. I'm actually working with ED (Wags) about the ground crew procedures for launch, end-of-runway (arming), and recovery. 1 v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
