Hi All, I've just pushed a further enhancement to the checklist feature.
Aircraft authors may now add one or more <binding> elements to a checklist <item>. Conceptually, these are the actions that the user should execute to complete the item. The checklist GUI displays items with such <binding> elements with an additional [>] button. Clicking on the button executes the bindings, allowing the user to watch as the computer/co-pilot/instructor executes the checklist item. The <binding> element is exactly as you would expect - so property-assign, nasal etc. works. Due to the power of Nasal and properties, this feature only required 13 lines of code to write, most of which is displaying the button! I'm planning to extend this function so that checklists with one or more items containing a <binding> element can have an (optional) button to execute the entire checklist. I'm still thinking of how best to implement this, as I think one would want a gap between each item. I'd highlight the property-interpolate command which provides a very convenient way to interpolate a property to a new value. See Docs/README.commands if (like me) you were unaware of this :). I've updated the c172p checklists to use this feature, including some rather cute interpolations of the throttle, mixture and trim controls. Thanks to Hooray on the forum for suggesting this enhancement ages ago. Feedback welcome as always. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
