Notes:
Fully interactive in-game checklists for the Cessna 152 if you prefer that format over reading a pdf. If using a previous version, you should delete it before installing this one. This is a pretty large update, see the changelog for details.
WBSim/JPLogistics Cessna 152 checklist can be found here: https://flightsim.to/file/56692/wbsim-jplogistics-c152-full-in-game-checklists
Features:
- Full interactive procedures as taken from the 1985 Cessna Model 152 Pilot's Operating Handbook.
- 100% working as a manual checklist or by using the Autocomplete Page option.
- Designed with Evaluation (Assisted Checklist / Copilot) mode in mind.
- Removes forced zoom on instruments and uses custom cameras for slightly more natural instrument focus.
Basic Checklists:
- Preflight Inspection - Cockpit: 9 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Before Starting Engine: 8 checkpoints (2 in original)
- Starting Engine: 17 checkpoints (9 in original)
- Before Takeoff: 22 checkpoints (5 in original)
- Normal Takeoff: 5 checkpoints (3 in original)
- Enroute Climb: 4 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Cruise: 3 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Descent: 3 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Before Landing: 3 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Normal Landing: 6 checkpoints (0 in original)
- After Landing: 2 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Securing Airplane: 7 checkpoints (0 in original)
Deviations from POH:
- There is a preflight step in the POH to verify the low-vacuum warning light is on. This was an aftermarket modification and is not present in the sim. This step has been hidden from the checklist.
Known Issues - Won't Fix:
- Evaluation and autocomplete modes can't listen if a sound is being played, so when checking for avionics cooling fan, you're only checking if the avionics circuit is open.
- The beacon light isn't turned on until after you've started the engine and are ready to taxi and is turned off before shutting down the engine. This feels wrong, but follows the POH.
- Missing visual cue for circuit breakers (non-interactive before starting engine checkpoint). This might be a larger project than just filling out a checklist.
Known Issues - Investigating:
- Sometimes the visual cues highlight the whole instrument, sometimes just the needle. This is Asobo, they aren't one for consistency.
- FAA regulations state strobe lights should be used during all operations conducted under visual flight rules (VFR) at night and in conditions of reduced visibility. There aren't any variables to test for visibility or whether a flight is VFR, so evaluation mode only checks for night prior to takeoff takeoff.
- Radios and Avionics on and/or set work sometimes, other times require manual intervention in evaluation mode.
- Elevator Trim adjust should be checking for relatively level flight (+/- 50 ft per second) instead of nothing, but it's not passing vertical speed correctly.
Gameplay Notes:
- Some checkpoints may have been reworded to make more sense within the game.
- External preflight inspection not included as there's no interactivity. Assume your plane is in perfect condition.
- Non-standard and emergency checklists won't be included until Asobo changes the way they categorize checklist steps. It's unintuitive to naturally change between lists if you don't need them.
- It's just a checklist. Though some steps are automated, particularly in auto complete mode, it won't fly the plane for you.
