Question Impossible...Remembering flight procedures

[unknown_orbiter]

Does anyone else have a problem with memorizing Lunar landing procedures in Orbiter, jet takeoff procedures in FSX, and gravity-torque calibration settings for a ballistic trajectory in Sniper Elite? I must have at least 30 reference charts on my wall.

That's why I don't fly AMSO or SSU. Too much "in the weeds" for me. Back in the day I had the Falcon 3.0 MiG-29 poster on my wall, and I memorized every keystroke. That was enough for me. Man, what an awesome game that was, and an awesome add-on to go with it!

You play Sniper Elite? Nice :thumbup:
No need to memorize anything, just practice a lot and you'll feel the right shoot vector.

Ok, I have now the complete FDF for STS-120 printed in a small shelf right next to my PC, but that is all insanity for that, most of it is for coding SSU, not flying around, thus I also have SCOM, System/360 overview and parts of the ODB, the HAL/S language reference and the ALT Avionics Software Specs there...

Still harmless compared to my BattleTech game material container, which weights about twice as much without the figures.

Nah, I just wing it when I'm playing sims. I have enough procedures and checklists to remember in real life so I'm just into getting into the air/space and having fun.

I seem remember most everything i guess. i feel that not many of the vessels need much to remember except the delta glider iv starting in safe mode but it has an automated system check to tell you what you forgot or overlooked. everything else is just straight orbiter flyin. although sometimes when i forget something small or obscure like deploying the mks sattelite ii close out and read the doc and write it down.

I'm a big fan of checklists so I don't have to use my rather poor memory. For each mission I put together a little checklist so that I don't have to search my memory!

I really have pretty much everything memorized(ok deploying the satelite included with the dgiv i forget but thats the only thing)
