Kneeboards for Ka-50 Black Shark for startup procedures and guided/unguided weapon employment, for both BS2 and BS3
Updated 12/21/2022 to make them applicable to both BS2 and BS3
These are not official procedures, just what I've put together as a quick reminder on startup procedures and how to employ various weapons on the Ka-50 (after not flying it for a while).
Kneeboards included:

KA-50 - 30MM CANNON SHKVAL.png
KA-50 - S-8 S-13 ROCKETS SHKVAL.png
The KA-50 kneeboards need to be placed in the appropriate KA-50 Kneeboard folder for either Black Shark 2, or Black Shark 3. For example, for Black Shark 2:
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\Ka-50
and for Black Shark 3:
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\Ka-50_3
Note that the following kneeboard is only applicable to Black Shark 3, which has the ability to load IGLA air-to-air missiles:

The remaining kneeboards are applicable to both Black Shark 2 and Black Shark 3.
Enjoy!

New startup kneeboards based on the DCS BS2/BS3 Flight Manuals and observing the auto-start process.
