EFB suggestions
-
I have finally managed to get a flight in the Duke, easily the best aircraft in msfs now. But why stop there?
Just a suggestion, while the in game checklist is okay, it would be great to have the checklist incorporated into the efb if possible. It would be great if we could move it to different positions as well as stowed.
Really impressed so far, can't wait to see what you cook up next :)

Very funny, haha. You know how to speak to my desire for innovation. Many people have requested this, and while I might feel silly duplicating checklists in three places now (four for the Starship), this should not be too difficult of an addition.
The tablet is already capable of being positioned all around the cockpit, by the way. You grab the top or bottom bezel and drag to move it. I have seen some people saying that this doesn't work in legacy interaction mode, though. If that's the case for you, and you really prefer to stick with legacy interactions (the blue highlighting in lock mode can be disabled!), you can also move the tablet with L:Vars, and I think you can also do it by scrolling the mouse wheel on the bezel, though that's much less elegant.

@Black-Square good to hear :)
Ah interesting.. Yeah I'm in legacy mode, I hate the way the interaction works completely within msfs to be honest and legacy is as good as it gets for me, I have even got a mod to hide the weird arrow and pointing eye, along with a mod which hides the tooltips unless I hold down the alt key (they it displays them in a nice and tidy format unlike the comic sans esque font doing on with asobo), makes a big difference in VR!
I'll live with it being stuck in place then as its not the end of the world.
Appreciate the dedication you have to your work, hopefully you have had chance to see some daylight during this process :) -
I also agree that this aircraft is a great addition to MSFS 2020, and I am having a lot of fun with it. However, taking advantage of hazzer111's post, I would like to ask if it would be possible to add Navigraph's aeronautical charts to the tablet in the future? Thank you for the excellent addon.

Checklists on the EFB would be a great addition if for no other reason than it helps people who fly in VR.
Normally I have my MS Surface with me as a glorified chart tablet and read pdf checklists on there, but that's not an option in VR.
The MSFS checklist system is an option, I suppose, but the EFB always makes it look cleaner (see the JF 146/RJ and probably the Pipers now, or the FSW 414)

Loving the videos on the upcoming Starship, but slightly disappointing that I don't see a checklist tab.
Just for the tag that I know any integration by Nick would be up there with the best available.@hazzer111 For specifically the Starship, the checklists are built into the MFD, where they’ll be marked as complete as you go through them. If you’re interested, the manual for the Starship shows this, beginning at page 39.

I've planned on adding the checklists to the tablet for a while now, but other things have taken priority. I figured I could let if slide with Starship, specifically because it has the MFD checklists for now. This shouldn't be more than a day or two of work when I can focus on it, and then I will add it to all my other aircraft for you.
