Hornet quick start walkthrough - To be updated soon, there may be some inaccuracies.

Here a new version from my personal French Navy collection, a fictional set of 4 French Navy Flottille 11F skins based on the actual Rafale M. Two of them wears a SEM inspired livery.

20/06/15: rework and add of a second SEM livery

Complete template set with Roughmet and Normals included.

Checklists I have been using for the Hornet.  Created these based on the NATOPS manual, with a few adjustment I found helped streamline the process (early INS startup) or that I often forgot (landing lights before taxi).  Also added Fence In/Out checklists that I have found to work fairly well.  PDF and a PNGs (created with Kneeboard Builder) included in the attached zip.

Couple of notes:
- Most of the Interior Check, is not needed in game, but I highlighted the few things that I do verify/set--mostly lights and things I have connected to toggle switches that may be in the wrong position.
- From Startup on, items that I skip are grayed out.  For example, don't turn off the oxygen flow knob on shutdown, or you will blackout and then die on the TARMAC!

Thanks, and let me know what feedback you have.

Caucasus Region - 1999

After the collapse of the Soviet Union,  Georgia, Abkhazia and South-Ossetia are fighting a bloody war over disputed territories for almost a decade now.
The Russians - waging a proxy war - are supplying the Abkahzians and South Ossetians with arms and manpower, while Georgia is asking the help of NATO to solve the situation.

A small contingent of western air power is stationed in country and on the Black Sea to prevent the escalation any further.

Taking inspiration from heritage flights, and my own Marianas missions, I have created the 43 pattern Navy Tri-Color scheme for the hornet with the appropriate markings for the following carriers.

CV-6 Enterprise
CV-9 Essex
CV-12 Hornet
