[DCS] Su-27 : Check-lists v0.5

I've once more updated my document on the Su-27. This version is now comprehensive and should do the job for almost any kind of flight. Yet it is still really basic and needs further improvement... Do not hesitate to send feed-backs after you've tried it.

After the 2 basic navigation training missions, I'm working on a new mission dedicated to the sensors. In this mission you will find different type of planes and radars so that you can drill your SPO-15 understanding and management of your radar and EOS. The aim of this mission is to train on the situation awareness which is key to any engagement...

[DCS] Visiting the Persian Gulf

Enjoying the two stay at home days by DCS I've been flying for more than an hour in the Persian Gulf theater and have taken some pictures of it :

[DCS] Su-27 Check-lists and procedures version 0.4 is online

Here is the latest version of the check-lists and procedures for the Sukhoi Su-27. I've tested it on a navigation including Fence-In and Fence-out both in daylight and at night. It seems to work perfectly well...

I am also building a campaign for beginners on this plane in order to practice these procedures. It starts with a training period and should ends with operational engagements. Stay tuned...

[DCS] Su-27 : Check lists updated

I have added new check-lists to the Su-27. You can go now through Fence-In, Fence-Out to the Engine shut off.

[DCS] Su-27: Here I fly again

Here I am again in the air with a new project : flying the [DCS] SU-27.

As usual after a long break, I have to familiarize again with the simulator. Yet it is a good opportunity to start all again with a new plane and learning its procedures.

The designated target will be the Sukhoi Su-27.

This plane has always been my favorite from the time I saw it for real at Le Bourget Airshow or when I played with it on Flanker simulator (the very first one).

To start I had to gather information about this plane and its procedures. As the documentation provided by DCS manual is really poor I have been given a link to a very comprehensive document that can be found on http://www.secretprojects.co.uk.
Based on this document and on the previous check-lists I had already written (see the documentation page on this blog) I began to write and test the cold and dark procedures for this plane.

Here are some pictures of it

First step is to check the plane and the cockpit:

Then start the engines:

And finally taxi to the runway.

You can find the 0.2 version of my check-lists here or check the documentation page.

Check lists back online

I've uploaded the check-lists for DCS Su-25T and Falcon 4 BMS Mirage 2000 to a new server. It is now possible to download them from the Documentation page on this blog.

Major changes in the blog

Considering that this Blog has been offline for a long time and that it had already occurred several times in the past I am giving up one of the major rules of my flights : continuity.

You may have noticed that each flight started where the previous one had stopped. Regardless of the simulator I used. That was nice in the beginning, giving a long flight record as you can see on the map below :

Yet that was too much restrictive and I couldn't fly the simulator I wanted to unless it had a map of the world area I was supposed to be in. Most of the time it meant flying with FSX to move to an area that was existing in another simulator like DCS World or Falcon 4 BMS.

As I don't have much time to fly these days, I couldn't stand this rule and I realize now that it was the main reason for not being able to publish on this Blog.

As a conclusion, I will now fly kinds of "snapflights" regardless of the virtual location or anything else...

Master switch...
