When you fly an aircraft in DCS after leaving it for a while, it is difficult to remember startup procedures, navigation, weapons usage, HOTAS mapping, etc. And if you mainly fly VR, you can't even fly with the manual next to you. This is why I created a summary of all the procedures as kneeboard pages. I included a ready-to-use PNG version and the original multi-layered photoshop version, so you can adjust them if needed. Included is also the VR friendly Virpil HOTAS mappings I use.

In the FA-18C_hornet folder, you will find the ready-to-use PNG versions of the kneeboard pages. Copy the folders to \Users\<your user>\Saved Games\DCS\Kneeboard or \Users\<your user>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard depending on your version.


At the URL http://e.pc.cd/0ffy6alK you will find the Photoshop originals (file too big to be uploaded here)

Notes:

- These kneeboard pages are not suitable for the initial training on an aircraft (use manual), you should rather use them to remember the essential procedures when coming back to an aircraft you practiced before.

- When actions are numbered, perform them in the indicated order

- HOTAS means the action is mapped onto a HOTAS button and is then not illustrated

- The F/A-18C Hornet is a modern, hence complex, aircraft. As a consequence, this cheatsheet pack has 153 pages. When using them as kneeboard, this might generate too much scrolling to get to the page you actually need. One solution might be to set bookmarks during preflight on the page blocks you will really need. Another solution would be to remove and store in another folder the pages you know you won't need (because you don't carry the weapons/pods described in these pages).
