Stuka Pre-Dive Checklist

[MajorMagee]

I just finished a great book on Operation Pedestal called "At All Costs", and it listed an interesting pre-dive checklist for the Stuka.

1. Set Landing Flaps To Cruise Position
2. Set Elevator Trim To Cruise Position
3. Set Rudder Trim To Cruise Position
4. Set Airscrew Pitch To Cruise Position
5. Turn Contact Altimeter On
6. Set Bomb Release Altitude
7. Set Supercharger To Automatic
8. Throttle Full Back
9. Close Cooler Flaps
10. Open Dive Brakes

At the preset altitude a light would come on and the pilot would press a knob on the control column to initiate the automatic 6g pullout. :salute:

Does this work for CFS3?

I mean I have Ted's Stuka and it seems as if everything is already done for you. However, this is still pretty neat that you have this sort of info though...
