I
have plenty of projects regarding the Check-lists. The first one is to
try to follow as closely as possible the evolution of Falcon to keep them
current. Then other aircraft volume creation is considered according to
the release of the new cockpits.
Here are the next things I will work on:
- Navigation charts
for all Major airports in Korea
- Weapons checklists will be updated to
SP4/BMS or FF3 to take into account the new weapons.
- Standardization of the format and I hope
to finally get the hang on the version history - I need to simplify
the system.
- There are more and more aircraft available
for SP with pretty decent flight model and cockpits. The A-10 main and
weapon volumes and the F-15 volume are already available. I'm willing
to continue working on other aircraft such as the F-18, , Mig-29, Tornado,......
Or any other aircraft Aeyes makes a superpit for.
- Same is true for the terrain. You will
soon see Panama, Vietnam, Iceland, and maybe others navigation volumes.
Always with the TCN table, Airbase list and Map of the theatre.

Many
people deserve credit for the checklists. I hope to have given my thanks
to everyone - if you feel you have been forgotten, let me
know.
- Tom
"T-Rex" Perkins for his valuable feedback, Martin
"Terrapin" Gerner, Stephen 'HotDogOne"
French for the OG: APG68 and amraams and his valuable
feedback, Wayne Timmins for the OG lantirn.
Skyfire for the Cate program and
Snakeman for his valuable CATE maps who made the kneemaps
possible, Aeyes for his help on the A-10 and
F-15 project, Meangreeny for his suggestion
of a rampstart only checklist. Jaillie for
his help on the navigation charts.
- Special Thanks
also to Dimitri Verdoodt who created the drawings
used in the checklists. Some of his drawings are available for sale.
Don't hesitate to contact him
- Thanks also to
the dedicated test team for the ODS kneemap. Without you, I'd still
be doing the airbase latitudes and longitudes and tacan data.
Bo "Fireball"
Boschung for his great help on Iraq and Iran. Greg
"DryLouvre" Salt for Syria. Paul
"Alicatt" Alistair for Egypt. Graham
Harper for israel. Kraig Mitchell
for Lebanon and Cyprus. Jack "Swampy" Crook
for Iran. Jonathan "Falcon1" Drucker
for Jordan
- Finally thanks
to all of you who sent feedback and comments and of course to the members
of the F4 groups that answered my never ending questions about their
work ;)

| There
has been some confusion in the version numbers of the checklists. Here
is a small word that I hope will clear the matter:
At initial release,
the checklists were referenced as
REV 117 for the main volume,
REV 118 for the weapon volume,
REV 119 for the avionic volume.
A, B, C and D are internal version and the released version keep this
information. So for SP3, the current version are:
REV 117D for the main volume
REV 118C for the weapon volume
REV 119D for the avionic volume.
These version have never been updated since the SP3 release.
From now on, all versions
will be referenced according to the SP serie they go with. SP3 for SP3
and SP4 for SP4.
The letter will be kept and added according to updates of any
kind. That's why the A-10 volume is already version SP4 (done
with SP4beta) hence the absence of A. At the SP4 release, I'll update
the A-10 volume with canopy operations and Aeyes updates (if available)
that will be released as SP4A.
As a conclusion,
I'm now leaning towards a common system SPxA, B, C, D, ... where SPx is
always based on the beta and SPxA is always the first public version followed
by updates B, C, D, ....
Thanks
to Meangreeny for coming up with this remark. |
