Multi-role Assistance System
The CSN F9’s integrated Electronic Checklists System supports the crew during the whole flight:
- Systems Configuration
- Flight Sequencing
- Flight Planning
- Equipment Operation
The system relies on interactive dialogs displaying a sequence of items for the task at hand, and with associated audio callouts when relevant.
For convenience the different checklists are grouped into main categories:
- Flight Sequence:
Systems and flight controls configuration for all phases of a flight (ex: departure, before and after maneuver…) - Flight Planning:
Help and workflows related to the flight planning routines and tools. - Systems:
Ship systems configuration sequences (ex: cold start,) - Reactor:
Tasks specifically related to the fusion reactor (start, partial per section power down and up) - Cryo-Fluids:
Tasks specifically related to the ship’s cryogenic fluids system. - Sensors:
Configuration of the ship’s sensors and communication systems.
Pass / Fail Tests
Most items are associated with a logic test, evaluating to “true” or “false” based either on:
- a user input,
- the ship’s state as reported by the controllers = “sensed item“.
Checklists are marked “complete” when all their items pass. A checklist can refer to a “child“ nested one.
User-Interface Help
The following video demonstrates the use of the checklists system:
The application used to create the standard set of checklists is available in the ./Data subfolder. The checklists themselves are stored in the “Checklists.xml” file. Make a backup copy before adding new entries or modifying the default set!
look cool 😛
Thanks! There are many controls to learn so it would have been very difficult to get into the sim without in-game help I think.
