  I shy away from products that present themselves as light. They hurt my self-esteem 😁 ! Seriously, this is what I like in a A2A-like product, not overly complicated but feeling true. I wonder what MV has blunted in the 86 to make it lite.

That is probably why I feel different about it - I have no self-esteem left to hurt!  

But seriously, from what I have seen, expect a basic start up, and if you want to pull a circuit-breaker to disable the starboard double-sprocket flange-valve from the feedback cycle, it's not going to happen!

I think light products can be great.  I mean, I don't need a study level F86.  That's the kind of thing I'd mess around with here and there, and I think the light products fit that.  I really enjoy the depth of an A2A Comanche (my most flown plane by a wide margin), but I don't need every aircraft to be that.

The FSX version had what appeared to me to be plausible startup procedure from Cold and Dark. Here is the manual for the FSX version:

https://milviz.com/Online_products/Manuals/Milviz F86 User Guide.pdf

Its a mere 30 pages. I wouldn't call this study level but its seems too detailed to be labelled lite.

I always enjoyed flying this aircraft and I did RTFM and enjoyed starting out cold and dark at a parking spot.

I'll be disappointed if its not at least as complex as the FSX/P3D version.

MilViz released the USAF Pilot Flight manual iirc along with the 30 page user guide. The user guide was primarily to capture FSX specific items. I'd call it study level.

Yeah your right. I do recall that now. I definitely didn't read the USAF Pilot Fight Manual.😁
