Checklist Reader – Your Voice-Controlled Copilot for MSFS 2024

Checklist Reader – Version 1.0.20.18 The right checklist for every aircraft variant, flight monitoring that reads the loaded checklist, and altitude callouts that name their target. For many more aircraft and checklist variants, download the separate Checklist Library Extensions package: 562 checklists in the complete catalog, 54 of them in the Core Library that comes with this setup. -------------------------------------------------- NEW: Wrong Checklist Impossible To Miss • Simulator Status shows the aircraft name in bold, with a Checklists button beside it that drops down every matching checklist. • While the loaded checklist belongs to another aircraft, a warning line appears with up to three Load buttons for the best matches and Other checklist... for the full selection. • When several checklists fit, the spoken remark points to the Simulator Status window. -------------------------------------------------- NEW: Checklists For Every Undercarriage • Checklist detection tells wheels, floats, amphibian floats and skis apart. After switching from the Carenado CT206G Amphibian to the CT206G Cargo Tundra, the reader kept offering the amphibian checklist and called the loaded Cargo Pack the wrong one. • The variant comes from the aircraft title and from the simulator's float and wheel information. A checklist for another undercarriage is listed below a separator, never offered with one click, and counts as the wrong checklist. • A checklist you chose for one variant no longer jumps to its siblings. • The Checklists list shows every checklist of the identified aircraft family, so all variants of an aircraft appear together. -------------------------------------------------- NEW: Monitoring That Reads The Loaded Checklist • Class presets switch warnings for a whole class, but some aircraft differ from it - and their checklists say so. "Speed brakes: Retracted" arms the speedbrake warning on the Lancair Legacy, "External power" the ground power warning on the Baron, "Hydraulic pressure" the hydraulics scan on the DC-3. A checklist that does not mention a system changes nothing. • Sailplanes and motor gliders whose checklist names airbrakes (ASK 21, Discus-2c, LS8, Stemme S12, DG-808S, Pipistrel Virus) are warned about open airbrakes from taxi to the initial climb, not while parked. • The monitoring configuration marks every switch the checklist set, and a new Automatic tab lists what was switched automatically for the current aircraft and checklist, with the checklist item behind each change. The support package includes this overview. -------------------------------------------------- IMPROVED: Hydraulic Pressure And Speedbrake Warnings • Hydraulic pressure is judged per aircraft. Jets and turboprops keep their 1000 psi limit; every other aircraft is compared with the pressure it has shown on this flight, so helicopters and older piston aircraft with 500 to 1000 psi systems are no longer reported low. • The hydraulic pump switch is only reported on jets and turboprops, where the simulator defines it reliably. • Turboprops no longer get the speedbrake warning by default, like piston aircraft. An aircraft that does have speed brakes gets it back from its checklist. -------------------------------------------------- IMPROVED: Altitude Callouts • The altitude alerter names the target: "Approaching 9000" instead of a bare "Approaching", which right after takeoff sounded like the approach to land. • The manual now describes correctly when "Approaching" and "Level" are called. -------------------------------------------------- IMPROVED: Settings And Manual • The Simulator Status settings menu keeps only switches that act on the running checklist. Compact Checklist Output, which only ever set the layout of the rewritten checklist copies, moved to Full Configuration > Advanced as Compact Checklist Files. • The tooltips of Simple Checklist Phrases and Verbose Output now say what the switches really do. • The flight monitoring and aircraft system monitoring chapters of the manual are updated in English and German. -------------------------------------------------- FIXED • The Checklist Reader icon in the simulator toolbar keeps its contrast when the pointer is over it. -------------------------------------------------- Community & Support The Checklist Reader is an actively evolving project, and feedback is always welcome.
