F/A-18C Kneeboard Suite - CASE I/II/III and Overhead Break - Updated 16 August 2023

The most comprehensive guide for all your carrier launches and recoveries that could be fitted into kneeboard. Includes detailed overhead approach chart for landing ashore.

CHANGELOG

- Properly inverted night kneeboards added instead of the old dimmed variant.

26 July 2022
- Minor update: added a tiny CV spawning helper to the last page.

DESCRIPTION

This second part of a three-part package aims to go beyond NATOPS and CNATRA in explaining the CASE I/II/III procedures. And for when you need to land ashore, there is an additional page dedicated to the overhead approach.

Most of the data here comes from the exceptional guide by Pieter Ras that he created with support and approval from the real-world Hornet pilots. It should be a mandatory read for everyone doing carrier ops in DCS:

* Pieter's guide - https://forum.dcs.world/topic/240066-carrier-operations-guide-by-pieterras/
* Pieter's video on CASE I Cyclic Ops - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g60P1fzhcdY

You can complement this part with two others:

* Checklists and Ordnance - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314313/
* RWR Threats and HARM Codes - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314315/

HOW TO INSTALL

Extract the downloaded archive, then copy the "FA-18C_hornet" folder into your "Saved Games\DCS (or DCS.openbeta)\KNEEBOARD\" directory. You may need to create the "KNEEBOARD" folder if it doesn't exist.
