Tablet Checklists Tab
-
I had addressed the checklist suggestion elsewhere, simply saying that it's a good suggestion, and not terribly difficult. It's just low on my priority list, since I already have multiple ways of accessing the checklists (Three, if you include Starship). As for Navigraph, I had a conversation with them at Flight Sim Expo this summer. I was expecting that they would have a generic interface package to make integration with EFB's easy, but I was surprised to discover that they do not. Instead, every EFB developer must create their own Navigraph interface that takes user input, requests the documents from their server, and displays them to the user. While this is not something completely outside of my talents, it's not over the bullseye either. It's something on my radar, but I don't want to make any promises.

Not to mention, MSFS2024 is going to have its own iteration of navigation charts, and by then the demand might not be the same as a tablet function. I tend to really only use ForeFlight and some occasional Navigraph on an external iPad. I know VC users would probably prefer the integration, but I would think waiting to see how Navigraph and 2024 play out would be best.

While on the topic of suggesting things for the tablet, would it be possible to include a copy of the aircraft’s manual on the EFB? I find myself regularly going to the manual for performance settings on several of the aircraft, and it would be really nice if I could quickly access that and all the other information on the EFB instead of having to tab out.

Just to add, while it may be in the manual and within the msfs UI. It's really not great for vr users. Personally the msfs built in checklist tab is very poor.
The engine power settings are only in the manual as well and not in the checklist. Which again is something that makes it difficult to use in vr. -

Just print out checklists. No Thanks for this suggestion.
Printed checklists aren‘t really usable in VR.
EFBs for charts and checklists in VR are amazing, because they don‘t break immersion like the default overlay panels.
