This is a checklist for the F-5E Tiger II.  It will get you from pre-start to takeoff.  Created using the actual aircraft manual and startup tutorial mission (combination of the two).  This is a simplified checklist.

Based on Smoothie's Real Life A-10C Punctuated Startup Reference, which I personally found to be a great help in trying to learn the A-10C. As mentioned, this is the Early Access version as of 2-12-2017; if any developments to the AV-8b are made that alter the startup I will do my best to put out an updated version.

Tired of using scribbled notes for your A-10C startup? Wish you had what real-life AF pilot's had for reference? This is a simulation, after all!

Smoothie's Real-Life A-10C Punctuated Startup Reference sheet offers a quick and concise way to do your startups. Veterans and n00bz alike rejoice!

This punctuated startup reference guide is based off of a recently declassified AF document providing Suite B pilots with a set of quick and emergency reference guides.

This reference even includes an easter egg which was included in the original document!

Enjoy!

I feel the need for SPEED! Some DCS pilots think the use of AUTO-START/STOP 'assists' is a form of heresy but there are times when you just want to fire up the jet and get going, especially in some multiplayer missions. This download answers that need.

It provides a *MUCH* faster version of my complete AUTO-START and AUTO-PROCESSES for the A-10C II (also available in the DCS User Files area; search for 'autostart'). Not only is it better organized, better sequenced, better timed, and more complete than the default version, this script is seriously FAST, achieved by accessing the little-known ALT ALIGN process for the INS. The accelerated alignment time is 01:26 (mm:ss) compared to the default time of 04:40. This produces an overall AUTO-START time of 03:18, compared to 06:35 by default.  The new AUTO-STOP process is also faster than the default script.

While the use of the AUTO-START and AUTO-STOP 'assists' is frowned upon by many checklist-using purists (I'm a checklist devotee myself) there are times when you just want to fire up the jet and get going. Having examined the relevant script supplied with the A-10C II (the script is called Macro_sequencies.lua and yes, it was misspelled by one of the original programmers) it became clear that it could be improved.

This download is a completely new script for the AUTO-START and AUTO-STOP processes, rebuilt from the ground up. It provides better organized, better sequenced, better timed, complete, faster AUTO-START and AUTO-STOP processes for the A-10C II.
