Cruise checklist error

Sunake

Hi, just wanted to point out the first item on the cruise checklist on the MFD says CLIMB POWER 97% TRQ etc, when it should be CRUISE POWER.......SET

Unless you see that in some of the other documentation, I read that as the limit if you're TRQ limited. It also lists ITT and I think N1 limits next to it.

I was comparing it to the real world starship manual. Although it might be very outdated. The checklist that comes with the black square does say they same thing, so you might be right about those being maximum limits, however shouldn't it still say CRUISE POWER instead of CLIMB POWER in both the pdf and MFD?

That's at least 4 times now I've read Climb power without fully registering it

I would think you're right.

Fixed. In case you ever wonder why I can be slow on my updates, a tiny change like this requires editing 11 files. Make that 14 when I add the checklists to my tablet. Thanks for pointing it out!

Now I feel kinda bad for something so insignificant when you could be fixing bugger stuff lol.

While you don't have to feel bad for me, it's actually almost impossible to predict what will make a programmer upset in this respect. There's a good image I've seen to explain this. It says...

Programming is chaotic magic. There are no rules. You ask a game dev "Can the player summon a giant demon that bursts from the ground in an explosion of lava?" and they'll say "sure, that's easy!". Then you'll ask "can the player wear a scarf?" and they'll go "oof."

I'm always glad that people point out these little things to me, by the way. Never hesitate!
