Checklist Reader – Your Voice-Controlled Copilot for MSFS 2024

Checklist Reader – Version 1.0.23.8 Cockpit camera guidance, a flight clock and hands-on examples. -------------------------------------------------- NEW AND IMPROVED: Controls, learning and checklist actions • The separate Checklist Library Extensions download adds a PMDG Boeing 737-800 Sim checklist and cockpit camera guidance for 14 existing Detailed checklists. The complete catalog contains 594 checklists: 54 in the Core Library and 540 in the optional Extensions. • Cockpit camera guidance can now follow checklist items. Co-Pilot and Camera are independent switches: keep Camera on and Co-Pilot off to see the relevant panel while operating the aircraft yourself. Camera moves normally happen before the callout; simulator commands retain their existing timing unless the checklist explicitly changes it. Both functions require a connected simulator. • Larger, clearly separated switch rows in Simulator Status put Co-Pilot, Camera, EXP, ANY and PTT together, with Map, Paper, FPL, TGD and CAL below. Configuration and support move to a Quick Access tile. The Companion offers the same switch rows and synchronizes their state with the desktop. Update the Companion package together with the application to see the new controls. • A new Flight Clock tile shows simulator UTC and PC local time, with a remembered Digital or Analog display. The analog dial includes a seconds hand and a 24-hour UTC readout. Start, Stop and Reset control a leg timer based on simulation time; changing the clock display does not interrupt it. The timer waits when simulator data is stale and clears when the Simulator Status window closes. • Technical examples in checklist selection now offers seven self-explaining examples covering responses, placeholders, pauses, delays, section flow, simulator commands, camera views and a preliminary API demonstration. Most work without a simulator; those that need one explain the required aircraft. Examples are kept separate from aircraft checklists and are refreshed with updates; save personal changes under Custom. • Checklist authors can set simulator and camera actions independently to run before the callout or after successful completion, with separate fields in the editor. Skipping or stopping an item does not execute pending completion actions, and interrupted read-aloud narration does not count as completion. Repeating narration does not repeat its actions. • API features in this release are preparatory only. This includes experimental checklist-triggered webhook actions, their editor and validation support, and the preliminary receiver/demo diagnostics. The complete API experience and clear, worked examples are planned for the next update. We recommend waiting for that update before trying the API workflow; the current demonstration still needs manual configuration, and explicit checklist API actions are off by default. • Kokoro now pronounces wind and related weather words with the weather pronunciation rather than the verb pronunciation. English and German documentation covers the new controls, clock, examples and preparatory API work; for API use, please wait for the completed workflow and examples in the next update. -------------------------------------------------- Community & Support The Checklist Reader is an actively evolving project, and feedback is always welcome.
