CHECKLISTS

You can create one or more checklist for an aircraft under /sim/checklists. These
are intended to mimic the checklists of aircraft themselves, and can be found under
the Help->Checklists menu within the simulator.

Tutorials are automatically generated from checklists on startup.

Each checklist is defined as a property tree under /sim/checklists/checklist[n]
or /sim/checklists/group[n]/checklist[m]

with the following tags

<title>       - Name of the checklist
<auto-tutorial> - Whether a tutorial should be automatically generated (true, default)
                  or not (false).
<page>        - Zero or more pages for the checklist containing:
 <item>       - One or more checklist items containing:
  <name>      - name of the checklist item (e.g. Carb Heat), to appear on the left
  <value>     - One or more values for the checklist item, to appear on the right
                hand side
  <marker>    - A tutorial marker (displayed when the user presses the ? button)
                This can be easily placed using the Help->Display Tutorial Marker.
                Contains x-m, y-m, z-m and scale tag.  The view will automatically
                change so the marker is in the center of the screen.
  <condition> - Optional standard FlightGear condition node that evaluates when the
                checklist item has been completed.
  <binding>   - Zero or more bindings to execute the checklist item.  Allows the user
                to have their virtual co-pilot perform the action if they select the
                ">" button next to the checklist item.

The <page> tag may be omitted for single-page checklists, with the <item> tags
immediately under the <checklist[n]> node.

Tutorial auto-generation of all checklists can be disabled by setting
/sim/checklists/auto-tutorials=false.

Checklists may be grouped under <group> nodes with a <name> tag decribing the
group.  For example

<group>
 <name>Emergency</name>
 <auto-tutorial>false</auto-tutorial>
 <checklist>...
 <checklist>...
</group>
<group>
 <name>Normal</name>
 <auto-tutorial>true</auto-tutorial>
 <checklist>...
 <checklist>...
</group>

See the c172p for an example of this in action (Aircraft/c172p/c172-checklists.xml).

Checklists can be automatically executed, for example to implement autostart. For 
more information, have a look at Aircraft/Generic/autochecklist.nas.
