Have you ever wondered what the heck a Fabulous 250 was? Or maybe a Superfast 25 Obvious Fuel-Mobile? With these kneeboards you can find out! A FAB-250 is actually a general purpose bomb, not a plus size fashion model. A S-25OFM is a Unguided Rocket, not a European sports car. Use these kneeboards to plan your next loadout and jog your memory when you forget what a Punch Through A Balloon 2.5 Knock Out really is. (Hint: PTAB-2.5KO.) Have Fun! Current stores kneeboards include AV-8B Harrier, F14, F16, F18, Mi-8, Su27, Su33, A-4E-C, MB-339A, JF-17, AJS37 Viggen, A-10C, A-10C2, MiG-29G, MiG-29A, and MiG-29S. If you want to see more aircraft, just ask!

Simple chart for normal and hot/high takeoffs.
Version 1.2: Adds recommendation for +10 knots when carrying external wing tanks.

Yellow box means long takeoff distance and red box means dangerously long takeoff distance and possibly difficulty sustaining flight after takeoff. Takeoff distances were measured at 20 deg C and 45 deg C in latest DCS Open Beta as of 2020-11-30.

The kneeboard is dark to not be blinding during night-ops. Put in you Saved Games Kneeboard folder.

THE 81ST PANTHERS ARE RECRUITING @ https://discord.gg/yHSat4q



SP1 = EASY (Convoy includes a Shilka)
SP2 = MEDIUM (Convoy includes a Strela and a manpad)
SP3 = DIFFICULT  (Convoy includes a Tunguska and manpads in the area)
SP4 = LANDING


All groups will respawn shortly after being destroyed.  Some groups have been purposely hidden to increase the challenge for the more advanced pilots.  


REFUELING:
Tacan: 2X   Shell - 264am   @10,000 feet, 200 kias

The tanker can be respawned via the F10/other menu if necessary.  

I tried to create aesthetic paper-kneeboard for you favourite planes, so you will always feel like in real aircraft! Don't forget to use NIGHT friendly version!
I also tried to make the procedure as much time-optimized as possible.

Update 05.05.21: V2.1
- Kneeboards underwent renaming to co-exist together. Using all of my kneeboards in conjunction won't blind you suddenly when scrolling through night pages. There's a day and night groups now.
- Removed BLEED AIR from start up
- Added INS FAST
- Updated ECM: REC / XMT

You're a genius! During these Gig Economy days, you've come up with the best idea ever! You'll going to be a supersonic delivery dude/dudette!

To Practice:
- Unconventional takeoffs and landings

Start in a F-14 in the air and attempt a landing/refueling or start on the deck with a cold start, on an active carrier deck.<br />
