	===[[Startup]]===		===[[Startup]]===
			==== Before Engine Start ====
			#Set Essential Bus Switch to START
			#Set FADEC Circuit Breaker Switch to ON
			#Set Ignition Circuit Breaker Switch to ON
			#Turn Ignition Keylock Switch to ON position
			#Set Battery 1 Switch to ON
			##Pilot MFD, RFD, VSI and MPD will switch on
			##Acknowledge Warning Cautions Advisories (WCA’s) as required by pressing the REC/ACK switch DOWN.
			#Verify FADEC Auto/Manual Switch (on dash) is in AUTO

			==== Engine Start ====
			*Advance Throttle to IDLE position
			''The Start Switch must be activated within 60 seconds of advancing the
			throttle or the engine will not start. To reset, set Throttle to OFF and
			toggle the FADEC Circuit Breaker Switch OFF, then ON. Then restart the
			procedure.''
			*Hold Start Switch for two seconds then release
			*Pilot MFD may flicker as voltage drops during start process
			*Acknowledge cautions as necessary
			*Wait for NG to stabilize between 63-65%
			*DC Generator Switch – ON
			*AC Generator Switch – ON
			*Essential Bus Switch to RUN
			*Fuel Boost Switch - ON
			*Particle Separator Circuit Breaker – IN
			*Advance Throttle to OPEN
			*Acknowledge cautions as necessary
			*Wait for TGT and RPM to stabilize
			*Set MPD Selector Switch to display NR/NP
			*Increase NP/NR to 100% using the RPM Trim Switch
			*Increase until one amber chiclet is visible on the NR VSI

			==== Systems ====
			*SCAS Power Switch – ON
			*Set SCAS Pitch/Roll Engage Switch to ON
			*Set SCAS Yaw Engage Switch to ON
			*Set MPD Selector Switch to display FUEL QTY/ENG TRQ
			*Switch Pilot MFD to VSD page

			==== NAV Alignment ====
			EGI alignment will start automatically in most cases. It will take a maximum of four
			minutes to align (and often much less time), during which time the VSD and HVR
			pages will display reduced information.

			==== Further Systems ====
			At this point the aircraft is ready for flight. The following systems can be enabled at the
			player’s discretion.
			*IFF Circuit Breaker Switch – ON
			*Radar Detector Circuit Breaker Switch – ON
			*Radar Warning Circuit Breaker Switch – ON
			*AN/APR-39 and AN/AVR-2 powerup and self-tests will begin automatically
			*L2MUM Circuit Breaker Switch – ON
			*CMWS CI OFF/ON/TEST Knob – ON
			*AN/AAR-57 powerup and self-test begins automatically
			*Copilot MFD – Set to MMS page
			*MMS Mode Selector – FWD
			*MMS Manual/Slave Switch – MANUAL, then SLAVED
			*Select LASER CODE by repeatedly pressing L1 bezel on Copilot MFD until the desired code is highlighted
			*MMS Laser Switch – As desired
			*Master Arm Switch - STANDBY

			==== Single- and Multicrew Experience ====

			The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is a two-seater aircraft where the workload is shared
			between Pilot and Copilot.

			In order to separate and manage the inputs available to each position, we have
			created two separate input profiles, one for each seat. The profiles can be selected
			from the drop-down list of aircraft in the Controls page and are named ‘OH-58D Pilot’
			and ‘OH-58D Copilot’.

			In order to facilitate solo flight in DCS World, we have set up the control system in
			such a fashion that a solo player may control both the Pilot and Copilot inputs from a
			single seat.

			When in a solo mission, or in a multiplayer environment where there is no
			second player in the aircraft, the player may switch seats at will, using the ‘Switch to
			Pilot Seat’ or ‘Switch to Copilot Seat’ commands.
			From either seat the player has access to all inputs of both Pilot and Copilot.
			In the event of a control binding conflict, the priority is given to the currently occupied
			seat.

			For example, if the player binds the ‘OH-58D Pilot’ input ‘Fire Weapon [1st Detent]’ to
			the ‘Enter’ key, and also binds the ‘OH-58D Copilot’ input ‘Fire Laser’ to the ‘Enter’ key,
			then when the player sits in the Pilot seat, activation of the ‘Enter’ key will fire the
			weapons, but when sitting in the Copilot seat, it will fire the laser.

			When a second player joins the aircraft in a multiplayer environment, the inputs are
			restricted to the occupied position. For example, a player in the Pilot position will no
			longer be able to use the ‘Fire Laser’ input.

			==== Suggested Control Bindings ====

			The following diagrams show suggested bindings for the DCS OH-58D Kiowa Warrior.

			These are based on the most commonly used inputs in DCS missions, and are based
			on the use of standard HOTAS hardware.
