Interactive Checklist
The interactive Checklist is
like having the help of a
co-pilot while you run
over the checklist. It is
very simple to use. . Just
click on the line you have
checked and a checkmark
will appear. When the co-
pilot (aka the Interactive
Checklist) agrees with you
the checklist will be green.
When you see a red
checkmark it means you
might have clicked on the
line but the actual setting
is still not correct. The
image here shows I ticked
the Radio Master that
needs to be OFF but in
fact it is still on. To make
the checkmark green (and
to correct the mistake,
just set the Radio Master
to OFF and the checkmark
will turn green. Normally
you would not move to the next checklist before all icons are green.
The Startup page works a little bit different as it will show all the red and green checkmarks without
clicking on the items in the list. If all your previous checklists were done correctly all should be green
but if you see any red check marks you know the startup will most likely not be possible. Please note
that the Performance page is rotated. This means that if you undock the checklist to another screen
you will see a black area. This cannot be avoided but should cause no problems.
The blue bookmark leads to a configuration page that allows you to switch between a cold and dark
aircraft (as if it had not flown before that day) or a fully configured aircraft with running engines,
ready for take-off. You can also select if you want the standard reliable engines or the more
advanced engine model that forces you to manage the engines far more detailed.
