Ok, I will carefully work my way around these items for the merge. Anybody working on (fg) checklists? I'd like to do engine start for the EC-145.

Checklists are going to be depreciated . Any future checklists will need to use canvas from a near future release so we abandoned the current checklist we were doing for it.

Ok, was not aware of that. Will do some startup info in aircraft help for the EC-145 instead..

Yes, but that's for the H-145 in fact (current cockpit is a H-145). EC-145 will have twist grip settings and other steps for startup. I will do that in a type-specific help text..

I've just noticed, that the Strobe switch turns on the beacons and the A.Coll switch turns on the strobes...

Some posts were split off to the new topic The future of checklists.

Also just to be safe:

[...]

From an aircraft perspective, my recommendation would be just to keep on writing checklists using the existing format (see README.checklist) and flag any bugs you find, or suggest enhancements.

Thank you! I will have a look into this. I am anyway currently extending the electrical model to connect more of the instruments.

I also plan to go on with checklists..

The Stobes are an easy fix. Just a matter of swapping the properties over.

Ok, fetched the new H145 tail and merged. I found that the ec-tail now segfaults in my fg 2018.3 version, when it comes into the field of view in any outside model view. I had to remove all model parts except the "ec-tail" part (antennas) from the Aircraft/ec145/Models/Effects/reflect-uber effect to fix this bug.

Fwiw this is usually caused by non-uvmapped / non-textured areas on your model.

I know and its the currently untextured tail vs textured tail causing it between the EC and H varients.

Stuart,

I have uploaded improvements to the EC145 mainpanel and the Canvas Nasal code. A detailed changelog and list of affected filed is in v1.3.1.README .

I see a large number of Nasal files in ec145/Nasal (unnecessarily) duplicated from ec145/Models/instruments/EUcopter-mfd-c/Nasal . Maybe they went there by accident?

I'll grab it tonight. If you see duplicates, just remove them.
