Where, Oh Where is the F/A-18 startup checklist?
-
Dear Friends,
With much help from Arty, I was able to upgrade my Falcon 4.34 to three monitors! I am thrilled!
I enjoy Iron Fortress as it launches me from CVN-70 in my F/A-18. The Other Aircraft documentation does not appear to have a ramp start checklist for this A/C. My standard startup initiates an engine fire. Not Good.
Is there an upgraded startup check list that I can refer to?

You can try this ….
Not sure if it’s 100% compatible with 4.34 though.

Good Day, Tom, and welcome to the BMS Navy! Since our Hornet/Rhino uses Viper avionics, the simple answer to your question is to use the 4.34 Viper Checklist and the Hornet 'pit diagram( in the F16 Checklist>Main Checklist and Other Aircraft folders, respectively).
You have to “translate” the Viper switches, and some things (like the IFF knob) have to be done on the keyboard. But, it’s not hard to pick up.
One of these days I’m going to sit down with the NATOPS checklist and ours and combine them into a BMS Hornet checklist :shock: -
Hello, drtbkj!
I am trying to get my HSD to show me my loaded flight path. My EGI seems to not to align (0.1/99). Tried using CNTL ALT X to get INS Increase. Nothing happened. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

This is a good reference too . . . .

Hi, Tom, sorry it took awhile for me to see this! The answer is to update to 4.34 U2. It fixes the INS issue. In the meantime, do an In Flight alignment as you’re climbing out from takeoff
