What's new in FLIGHT

What's New

• Checklist API. Building a Discord bot, a cockpit app or a virtual airline tool? You can now read every checklist in the library as data, by simulator or by aircraft. Ask for a key on our Discord to get started.
• Developer guide. The new Developer API page, linked in the footer, walks you through it with ready-to-copy examples and a "Try it" panel that runs a real request with your key.

Improvements

• Flight group kneeboard cards now print with your group's logo and name at the top of every card.

Improvements

• Rebuilt E-Jet checklists. The Embraer E170/E175 and E190/E195 checklists are rewritten for the FlightSim Studio E-Jets, now out of Early Access, and follow that aircraft's own flows from cold and dark to shutdown.
• The E190/E195 checklist covers the head-up display and steep approach mode, and works for the E190F/E195F freighters too.
• Both E-Jets now show up when you filter the MSFS fleet by developer.
• Updated the E-Jet quick reference cards with corrected weights and flap speeds, and refreshed both aircraft's emergency procedures. Please review them before your next E-Jet flight.

Bug Fixes

• Maps in the pilot tools and on aircraft pages no longer show a watermark over the map background.

What's New

• Coop Checklist. Fly one checklist together. Start a coop, share its 4-character code, and every tick shows up live on everyone's screen. No account needed.
• See who did what. Each ticked step shows who checked it, and the header shows who is flying with you.
• Start from anything. Press Coop on any aircraft checklist or on one of your own, or start one from the new Coop Checklist page.
• The host stays in charge. Whoever started the coop can issue a new join code or end the coop for everyone.
• A coop closes on its own 48 hours after the last tick.
• The coop checklists you have joined are listed on the Coop Checklist page, so you can get back into one quickly.

What's New

• Flight Groups, now in beta. A private group of up to five pilots for your virtual airline or squadron. Found a bug? Every group page links to our Discord.
• Shared procedures. Owners and admins publish procedures from My Checklists, the aircraft library or from scratch, and edit them any time. Pilots see when a procedure has changed.
• Fly, print or keep. Everyone flies with their own synced progress, and can print kneeboard cards or copy a procedure into My Checklists.
• One invite link that expires after 24 hours, 7 days or never.
• Make it yours with a logo, a cover image, and links to your Discord and website.
• Members see their group and its latest procedures on the home page.

New Aircraft

• MSFS 2024: Diamond DA40 NG (G1000 NXi)
• A jet-A single, cold and dark to secured. 22 phases covering the walkaround, the engine computer test and start, G1000 NXi and autopilot setup, the cruise fuel transfer, and the go-around and parking procedures.
• MSFS 2024: Inibuilds A380-800
• The whole long-haul flow. 23 phases from a dark cockpit through APU start, the overhead and pedestal preparation and the display setup, then takeoff, cruise, approach, landing and shutdown. Optional ground handling steps cover power, chocks, refuelling, catering and boarding.
• Quick reference, emergency procedures and kneeboard cards are ready for both aircraft alongside their checklists, and both are selectable in the pilot tools.

Improvements

• Emergency procedures are far quicker to find. Every procedure now sits in its own card that opens with a tap, so the page opens on a short list of what the aircraft has rather than every procedure at once.
• Search inside the steps. Type a failure, a switch or a callout and the search looks through the steps as well as the procedure titles. You can also narrow the list to one part of the aircraft, such as fire, engine, systems or flight controls.
• Clearer emergency steps. Conditions and limits inside a procedure now read as notes rather than as actions to set.

Bug Fixes

• Printing an emergency procedures page from your browser gave you a blank sheet. It now prints every procedure in full.

New Aircraft

• MSFS 2024: Hawker 800XP (FlightFX)
• The full flight, from cold and dark to shutdown. Start on battery, APU or ground power, run the APR, engine computer, rudder bias and thrust reverser checks, and transfer the ventral tank in cruise. Both shutdown sequences are included, with and without the APU.
• Quick reference, emergencies and kneeboard cards. V-speeds, flap limits, engine limits and weights, six emergency procedures, and printable kneeboard cards are ready alongside the checklist.

Improvements

• Plan your descent with the descent calculator. A new section explains where to start down, with a worked example and a quick distance table.
• Estimate true airspeed in your head. The airspeed converter now has a simple rule of thumb for going from indicated to true airspeed, a table showing how close it gets, and an answer on converting back.
