I have a lot of go over here. I'll cover the cockpit layout of the Dora, the "flows" or procedures that pilots likely would have used in the real airplane for all the key phases of flight, before start, before takeoff and so on.
I also cover a lot of the systems, engine limitations and emergency procedures, as well as talk about the way the Dora's ignition system works.
All in all, I cover a lot, including the Dora's excellent gyro gunsight, which I demonstrate at the end of the video. It's possible to down a B-17 without taking damage using the Dora's cannons and that gyro sight, I'll show how.
I also touch on the DCS Dora's issue of weird engine failures which I think are no longer an issue with the latest update.
In short, my hopes are that both sim and non sim users alike will find a lot of interesting and useful information in this video.

Agathos Flight School Video on Dora power settings: youtu.be/US2uktcxolQ
Notes: Obviously you would press the IFF self destruct if you made a forced landing in enemy territory.
Some U.S. fighters used a shotgun shell type mechanism to turn the motor over for start. However the electric flywheel type was more common. There were also manual cranks for backup in some planes.
The Weapons system gets electrical power from the aircraft main electrical system. It's not independent. So you have to have EITHER the batter cb or the generator cb on for the master arm switch to arm the weapons.
