Checklist

[skywalker-50]

I am a new FSP user, still in the learning process.

I have fight cockpit simulator based on the PMDG 737-800 , I just bought FSP and I would like to add a number of checklists to be called
out by my copilot at different stages
• Pre-Start Checklist
• Startup Checklist
• Before Taxi Checklist
• Before Take-off Checklist
• Etc.

I do not have any problem creating the audio files. I noticed that the default FSP has a initial (generic and too fast) check list, but I couldn’t
identify the name of this file, or where is stored.

My questions are:
Which names could/should I give to the checklist files?
Where should be stored (which folder)?
Does FSP allow to add new commands to call up this new checklists?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Are you talking about paper copies of the checklist or adding the checklist into the game?

[skywalker-50]

There are plenty of paper checklist available on the net already.

I was referring to create audio checklist files for the different stages of flight, then the copilot would read them out to me when selecting a
predefined button or key stroke combination. This files could be played in conjunction with all the other FSP audio files

There are certain add-ons like FDC Live Cockpit software (or something like that) and I've heard it's fairly good. If your interested, I
recommend reading other forums and many reviews because it is a payware. I do not have it myself so I can't tell you how good it is.

Hi bigshot724, thanks for your comments.

Yes you are right. I do know that FDC Live Cockpit software have a large number of features including copilot checklist, but it is more
complex and rigid compare with FSP.

I like FSP because the simplicity of this tool and flexibility. I would like to see if someone up there (including FSP developers) provides
some light to my questions.

FDC is not at all hard to use. and the documentation is very well written.

by itself its only good for checklist, i use it in conjunction with FSp, the 2 work real well together.

FDC will do the checklist, and help out with flaps and gear.
FSP hanles the passengers

Yes, I know FDC functionality is good, but at this time I would prefer to load the less application/tools as possible to flight with FS2004,

One thing I like about FSP is that, it is a "simple” tool with a great flexibility and adaptability to each user (editing of wav files).

When I started FS2004 with the default 737-400, I loaded the passengers and cargo; as soon as the “Flight Datasheet” is displayed a
checklist is read out automatically.

Would anyone help me to identify the name of this checklist file (wav) and where is located (folder)?

Thank you.
