This detailed kneeboard includes day/night versions, and normal/scramble operations. This detailed kneeboard includes day/night versions, and normal/scramble operations. It uses information from the F-16C Flight Manual, but it has primarily been designed to work cohesively with the Eagle Dynamics F-16C Guide, and video tutorials by Matt Wagner. The airborne refuelling, and TGP sections are based on RedKite's comprehensive tutorials. (Both day/night versions total 7 pages, including the cover, in V.03, sample screenshots are of the cover, page 2, and page 6).

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!

A Messerschmitt Bf 109 K4 based on a G6/AS unit 'Green 13', the personal mount of Kommodore Walter 'Gulle' Oesau of Stab./JG1 - Paderborn, Germany, May 1944.
It was whilst flying this machine that Oesau met his end, the details of which are not entirely historically clear.

A Mustang MkIV (KH729) Y2 A - Squadron Leader Mitchell ‘Johnny’ Johnston 442 Sq. RCAF - RAF Digby (UK) June 1945.
Just extract the file and place it into your Saved Games>DCS.openbeta>Liveries>P-51D folder and BINGO!

The images have me dressed as Santa as the pilot. This is NOT the case in the actual .zipfile by the way! It was merely a way of me passing on Yuletide greetings. I wouldn't inflict ME on you as the pilot as it would probably end in tears!!
Have fun,

An I-16 'Ishak' (Donkey) or 'Rata' (Rat) in a pre-finished state with only the flight surfaces covered with linen. The fuselage is in it's pre-linen covered state of a coat of phenol-formaldehyde resin, this giving the normally light wood an orange-brown appearance.

Republic P-47D Thunderbolt 'Schmaltzie/Mercedes' of the 65th Fighter Squadron, 57th FG based in Corsica and Italy 1944-45.
Piloted by Lt. F. J. Middleton (pictured standing on the wing root of 'Little Bunny'), the crew chief was S/Sgt. L. Walker and the armourer was Cpl. S. Bauer.

P-47D 'Frigid Midgit'. Pilot 2nd Lt. Jack Hallett 394 FS 367FG St. Dizier France March 1945
The 'natural metal' of the wing sections was due to repair after 2nd Lt. Hallett crashed inbetween two trees after attempting to 'buzz' three of his Squadron who were crossing a small swing-bridge on their way to the airfield at St. Dizzier. He was test-flying a Thunderbolt as the 367th had only just received three of them for assessment prior to being assigned them to replace their P-38 Lightnings.
As Hallett himself said of the Thunderbolt (after only 45 minutes in it), "When you pulled back the stick in a P-38 the plane would go up whereas the P-47 had a much higher wing-load... I pulled back on the stick and the attitude changed but the altitude did not!". As he passed over the guys on the bridge he managed to crash the brand-new unit inbetween two trees. Hence the bare aluminium wings, fitted as a replacement for the ones he'd irrepairably damaged!
True story.
