Saving your checklists
When you have finished creating your checklists, click Finish on the
Voice Selection panel of the Checklist Editor. You will be prompted to
enter a name for your checklist. Your new checklist will now become
available in the Select Aircraft panel of FDC Live Cockpit! 2011,
under checklists. Your own checklists will be preceded with the text
User:, to distinguish them from the standard FDC Live Cockpit! 2011
checklists.
Specifying aircraft type
and configuration
Adding your aircraft to FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 is divided into four
steps, each step being separated into its own panel in the Perfor-
mance Editor. The various steps are described in detail below. Once
you have opened the Editor, you are allowed to either add a new
performance file, edit an existing file, or delete an existing file. If you
choose to add a new file to FDC Live Cockpit! 2011, you can either
make a new file from scratch, or you can use one of the existing files
as a template.
We recommend you to open one of the default performance files of
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 to gain a better understanding of the data
contained in a performance file. This also gives you a hint of what data
you need to gather for your own aircraft to make your performance
accurate enough!
Let us also point out that the data entered in the Performance Editor
doesn’t affect the performance of the aircraft in Flight Simulator; it is
solely used to synchronize the events in FDC Live Cockpit! 2011
properly to your aircraft’s performance in Flight Simulator.
Note! You can of course change the standard performance files in
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011. If you have made changes to the standard
files, you can reset them to their default values by clicking Restore
Defaults available on the Performance File Editor panel.
