lol. Now that I have taken to taxiing from the hangar, my preflight is (With a fighter, for example Spitfire mk I):
Spawn in hangar.
Start engine.
Run engine at full RPM for 5 seconds
Reduce to around 1,500 or less
Taxi at that RPM out of hangar, onto taxiway, and to the runway at the point I think is necessary for porper takeoff. Enter runway, and take up position either in the middle (If alone) right side (If with Overlag or nonsense) or left side (If I am the lowest person in the flight)
Reduce RPMs to near cutoff, wait for anyone else in my flight. to catch up.
Once flight is assembled, lower flaps.
Run control check to insure that I didnt get a "Dont move your controls too rapidly" message during taxi.
Stand by for flight readyness
Bring RPMs to full
Bring manifold to full
Takeoff.
At 50ft AGL retract gear
at 200ft AGL retract flaps
at 500ft AGL reduce RPMs and manifold to normall
Upon reaching desired altitude bring RPMs and manifold to max cruise.
Uppon reaching enemy space return to normal power so as to be ready for fight.
Go to military power when enemy is sighted. Engage.
Return to desired altitude.
Go back to max cruise.
RTB
upon sighting friendly field, lower flaps to full deflection, make altitude 1,500 AGL
Lower gear when speed is proper
Enter 'downwind' at 1250 ft AGL
Enter base at 1,000 AGL
Enter final at 800ft AGL
Make proper landing
Retract flaps, reduce RPMs to 1,500 or less
Taxi off of runway
end sortie
Thats my flight, assuming I am not upping from a base under attack. If base is under attack, ommit the taxi to and from runway. All pre-takeoff and in flight procedure remains. If base is capped, ommit all above.
