Good work. That surprised me to find a Spitfire Mk II checklist for 87 octanes. After that I have read, the version was developped direct to use 100 Octanes fuel, already in full use about the time of the delivery of the first produced MK IIs to the 611 Sqn at Digby , end Aug 1940.

I also found the information on ammunition and the various bombs and fuses to be a little on the weak side. These checklists are my attempt to remedy some of that.

The checklists and other included data are based on historical documents and manuals, and therefore may not be optimized for in game use. However, they are better than pure trial and error. Please give them a try.

My plan is to provide updates whenever significant new material is added to the sim. This includes new plane types, additional weapons or ammo, or significant changes to FM or in game operating procedures. I encourage you to provide criticism and to identify any error you find. I will collect all comments and will make appropriate changes as I post new updates. I have the MS Excel file that the checklists were published from but I'm not posting it at this time. If you wish to have the Excel file, please PM me.

Please feel free to post on other websites or forums. There is some copyrighted material in the file, so please, do not attempt to sale or use for any financial gain. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the checklist.

For the mods, if this would better fit in one of the other sub-forums, please move it. Thanks.

Fantastic piece of work 2GFlea, thanks for putting all that effort in.

One small issue I noticed....in the pre-flight section where the prop is being tested it says "Reduce Pitch Slowly until -- 2400 RPM". I believe you are starting out with fully fine (low) pitch in which case you are actually Increasing pitch to bite more air and reduce RPM, not Reducing pitch.

This sim has been crying out for a manual like this. Well done.

Wow!
Only one guestion about the document though. The graphs on airspeed (IE page 6) refer to a Vno...What's Vno? I know what Vne is but never heard of Vno.

Just made a fast browse through the document and I really like it. It's going to be very useful when I upgrade my PC in few months time and reinstall the sim again!

One hint for the next revision - I believe the temperature falls with increased altitude, not rises as the table on page 5 suggests at the moment .

Keep up the good work!
