This change automatically changes the view direction to look
at a <marker> if any is defined for a checklist item or tutorial
step.
Both the tutorial and checklist features support a <marker> element
which can be used by an aircraft developer to display a magenta
circle around an item of interest (typically a control in the
cockpit).
Previously aircraft developers had to add a <view> element to move
the viewpoint to look at the marker, while users of checklists had
to look for the marker manually.
Now:
- For checklists, pressing the "?" button on a checklist will pan the viewpoint
to the marker.
- For tutorials, if there is not a <view> element defined for a
tutorial step, the view will automatically pan to the marker.
Previously tutorials were generated from all checklists.
Now <auto-tutorial>false</auto-tutorial> can be set at
any level of the checklist heirarchy to disable generation
of tutorials for a given checklist, group, or for all
checklists.
Checklists now support grouping by placing a group of checklists
under a <group> node.
e.g. /sim/checklists/group/checklist
The group can have a <name>, which is used by the checklist dialog
and can be used by other interfaces, such as the FG1000.
Checklists may now be split into individual sections made up
of <pages> containing the <item> tags. Each page is displayed
individually with Previous/Next buttons to allow navigation.
Checklists items also support <marker> tags. These display
a marker when a ? button is pressed next to the checklist item.
The format is identical to that of the tutorial system.
Checklist items now support a <condition> element that evaluates
when the checklist item is complete, and is used to provide color
coding in the checklist dialog.
