I am assuming the use of the CFS3 Real Systems Module to start CFS3 and that the clickable pit is working plus the key commands ()
The procedure for starting, taking off, flying, and landing is based on information from 2 sources.
1.Spitfire Mk.II Pilot's Notes as provided in the download
2. The help files which are also in the download and which I have copied to a more readable doc (or odt) format.
Both go through several stages and so far I have only looked at what is called "Preliminaries' and "Before Start Checklist' respectively by the 2 sources above.
They are as follows. I have added intial comments on the Help file notes only in RED
PRELIMINARIES
3. On entering the cockpit make the following preparations. See that:-
(i) The ignition switches are OFF.
(ii) The undercarriage lever is in the DOWN gate, and the indicator shows the word IDLE.
(iii) Switch on the light indicator and check by the green lights that the undercarriage is locked in the down position.
(iv) The flaps are UP.
(v) The landing lamps are UP.
(vi) The wheel brakes are ON.
Check.-
(vii) The contents of the fuel tanks.
(viii) The movement of the flying controls.

Before Start Checklist
1. Switch on undercarriage indicator light. ( Done through Alt + 6. I don't see any switch to toggle)
2. Close emergency exit door to half-cocked position. ( Either Ctrl + C or use mouse right click to close exit door to half-cocked position Another right click will close it completey. Left Click to open)
3. Confirm the following:
Ignition switches are OFF. ( I have no idea what and how to check this. I have no idea how to know if there is electrical power connected to the aircraft )
Undercarriage down indicator is illuminated. (Alt + 6 I didn't see any switch to use with the mouse)
Undercarriage lever is in the DOWN position. (Visual on Starboard side)
Undercarriage movement indicator reads IDLE. ( I have no idea where that is)
Landing flaps are UP. (Visual upper Port side)
Landing lamps are UP. (Well one can see the switch lower Port)
Wheel brakes are ON with parking catch. (No idea where to do that)
Fuel quantity is sufficient. ( As far as I could see the dial showed empty. I assume some sort of power has to be on for the dial to operate)
Flight controls have full, free, and correct movement. ( Visual through moving controls and looking out)
So I await clarification and assume I have missed something somewhere!
