Rampstart checklist in PDF with pics

Rampstart checklist in PDF without pics

 

F/A-18C Hornet Superpit features: features:
- Views:
- Smart switching between normal view and wide view (use shift-2)

- Reference page (Shift-1) has a switching to more reference ability like formation flying. The MFD on the right has 'touchscreen' ability, so the MFD can be used while in the reference view.

-  Floodlight
The forward right down panel has a switch on the "INTR LT" panel for "FLOOD" in the "Cockpit" for flying at night with the daytime pit.

- High resolution kneemap of Korea.(This kneemap is for daytime flights only, for night time flights it is advised to use the default maps.)

- Rampstart
It is possible to do a complete rampstart, you will find a rampstart PDF doc in your Falcon4/docs folder, or download the rampstart instruction docs at the link above
There are 2 PDF docs, one with and one without pics, the last for printing out a quick checklist.

- Autopilot
A way was found to make the autopilot work very much like the Hornet, use the AP and ON buttons on the UFC (Upfront Control Panel)

- Digital ADI
The 3rd DDI (MFD) has a bunch of features, and there you can enable the digital ADI which will show in the 1st DDI

- HSI/MAP
The 3rd DDI has the ability to switch between the moving map and the HSI, the buttons can be used for switching and adjusting CRS/HDG. The moving map can be lit up at night by applying NVG (key N).

- DISP
This indicator will warn you when the flares/chaff are almost run out of.

- AI indicator
Shows activity on the RWR

- STBY/XMIT
Enabling ECM

- Trim on Stick
There is a imaginary cross on the stick's trim button, using this cross and left and rightclick will let you trim the plane.
