    FENIX A320 Ingame-Checklist - Image 2

    Description

    FENIX introduced a fragment of an MSFS Ingame Checklist only e.g. many procedures are incomplete or missing. This Procedure- and Checklist is based on this fragment but now covers all necessary procedures and complete checklists necessary for a full flight.
    It relies on the 4 provided FENIX aircraft states even that those are not completely correct: C&D as well as TA = Parking Brake is set; Radios are ON etc. or that in the “READY-State” many settings for a correct takeoff-state are missing. Those necessary settings were also added. 

    If you want to use this checklist, please make sure that in your MSFS Settings “Assistance Options / Piloting / ASSISTED CHECKLIST” is ON. You then can open the Checklist from the Ingame-Menu-Bar.

    A detailed description of the MSFS Ingame Checklist you will find at
    https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/mergedProjects/How_To_Make_An_Aircraft/Contents/Files/Checklists/Checklists.htm

    or if you want have a look at its function please visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-hdObB9XBY. This video shows a full flight with all its procedures and checklists.

    Installation:
    * Unzip the downloaded file.
    * Copy the folder "RF_FENIX_A320_CL_2020_UPD5" into the MSFS "Community" folder 

    Remarks and Best Practice: 

    • Unfortunately, FENIX does not support yet to highlight certain CL items in question. 
    • Also many needed FENIX variables (especially MCDU values) are because of its setup not available in the simulator and therefore estimated figures               our workarounds have been used.
    • There are 3 categories of checklist items
      • Automatic checks (nor marked): A user action is required or the settings are already correct. 
      • Manually checks (marked with + (Plus): These items cannot automatically be checked and an action as well a confirmation by the user (using                 the assigned keyboard or joystick button) is necessary. 
      • Copilot checks (marked with CP): These items that can be automatically set by the included Copilot. You can make these settings yourself or                 wait. After 7 seconds, the Copilot automatically makes those settings.
    • There are specific checklists available based on the aircraft state used e.g. Cockpit Preparation for Dark & Cold or for Turnaround and there are                       different Pushback-CLs for users with or without GSX.
    • In addition, an additional checklist “BEFORE TAKEOFF” is available if the Ready-aircraft state is used because the FENIX “READY” state is not                      “Ready for Takeoff”. Load the plane, program your  MCDU-flight and then run the specific BEFORE TAKEOFF – checklist. Now you are ready for                      takeoff!
    • During “TAXI” and “TAKEOFF” there are only a few Auto-Focus functions implemented (so that users can concentrate on the direction the plane is heading to). Then please use the Copilot to make the necessary settings, or joystick resp. keyboard key bindings. 
    • If you do not use a separate TILLER, you should bind the RUDDER axis also to NOSE WHEEL STEERING. Otherwise, there are steering problems after “Disconnecting Pedals” in the TAXI CL.
    • The checklist is aligned with procedures from BEYOND ATC and recognizes settings made with THRUSTMASTER AIRBUS QUADRANT and ADDON.

    Hello, I tried the mod for MSFS 2020 but the checklist window pops up completely empty !

    This means that the CL content cannot be detected. I hope you used the right mod-version because there are different ones for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. I just downloaded the MSFS 2020 version, unzipped it and then copied the folder "RF_FENIX_A320_CL_2020_UPD6" into my MSFS 2020 Community folder. It must be the same folder where the "fnx-aircraft-320" folder is located. Then it worked without any problems.

    Hi, I installed the mod for MSFS 2020 but selecting the different CL options it does not change the views (only the CL related to the EXTERIOR WALKAROUND works).

    It looks like that the specific camera.cfg in the mod-folder ?:\Microsoft FS\Community\RF_FENIX_A320_CL_2020_UPD2\SimObjects\Airplanes\FNX_320_CFM_SL is not working properly. Do you have this problem with all 4 variants of the FENIX 320 or only with a specific one? To work properly the mod-folder must be installed in the same folder than the "fnx-aircraft-320". Please check again!

    I tried with the IAE variant and yes, the mod-folder is installed in the same folder as the "fnx-aircraft-320" folder (both folders are located inside the Community folder)

    Hi
    Warum sehe ich nur 2 Checklisten in dem Mod.
    Fenix ist im Community Folder installiert. Den Ordner aus der ZIP habe ich auch darein kopiert.Den Flieger starte ich immer im Cold & Dark.
    Vielleicht hast du ja eine Idee woran das liegen kann.
    Vielen Dank schonmal. Freue mich schon drauf den Mod auszuprobieren.

    Reden wir über MSFS 2020 oder MSFS 2024? Es gibt zwei verschiedene Checklisten-Download-Mod-Versionen und zwar für den jeweiligen Simulator, weil FENIX den Aufbau in den 2 Simulatoren komplett unterschiedlich gestaltet hat.

    Für den MSFS 2020 :)
    Ich habe die 2020 Version auch runtergeladen.
    Sehe aber nur den Outside Check und die Cockpit Preparation Checklist. Die funktionieren übrigens super :D

    From my fresh Fenix installation in my MSFS2020 I copied the extracted “RF_FENIX_A320_CL_2020_UP2” folder into my Community folder. However, in the simulator the Checklist menu with the Fenix A320 is completely empty.

    I also do not see the VR and non-VR packages with the latest download but only a "RF_FENIX_A320_CL_2020_UPD2" folder (and a Readme.pdf). So is the description for installation above outdated?
    HanseRolfAuthor

    Only valid is the in the zip-package included "readme.pdf" file. Therer is no more a VR-version e,g, without the "View Focus Function". Regarding the empty CL window: In which folder your fnx-aircraft-320 is installed and it is the same folder than this mod.? Are we really talking about MSFS 2020 or are you using already MSFS 2024?

    5 months ago

    I confirm we are talking about MSFS 2020. Sim is in C:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator, the Fenix installation is in C:\Program Files\FenixSim A320 and the packages for MSFS2020 are installed in D:\Games\MSFS\2020\Packages\Community. The fnx-aircraft-320 is installed in D:\Games\MSFS\2020\Packages\Community.

    I copied and pasted a fresh download of the package to the Comunity folder and I can see all the checklists in the xml files. The checklist now shows not empty anymore, however, only two checklists show up: External Walkaround and Preliminary Cockpit Preparation

    When I first load another aircraft, e.g. the PMDG 737 and then go back to the main menu and select the Fenix then the complete checklist finally shows up and works. Maybe I will just use this workaround for now.

    Thanks

    Not available on msfs2024??

    Not yet - but I will try tp modify the existing 2020 CL so that it also works in 2024 based on the current FENIX 320 MSFS 2024 version. I am not able to promies a date but hope to do it until the end of the year.

    This looks exactly what I've been looking for. Appreciate the effort you've put into it!

    It should also be applicable to Fenix's A319 and A321... any pointers on how to get this to show up as a checklist for those aircraft?
    HanseRolfAuthor

    This would mean that I frist own the A319 and A321 (which is not the case) and second have time to modify the checklists (which is currently not the case). Sorry!

    Thanks for the checklist, but too bad, it's almost unusable for me. Whenever I check one item, huge checkmarks appear which scramble the whole screen. I assume this not directly related to your checklist, but rather a problem of the simulator, but maybe someone has found a workaround.

    You are right, this is a MSFS 2024 problem but only if you use the mod "Interface Scale Option". Otherwise it is working flawlessness - then only you are not able to "minimize" the CL window......

    Hello, super work thank you! For me autocomplete don't sim to work, any idea?
    HanseRolfAuthor

    over 1 year ago

    Sorry, I have no idea why "AUTOCOMPLETE" does not work in your case. But there are certain items for which it cannot be used because FENIX does not provide the relevant variables. These are marked with a * = STAR.
