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 - 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.
