Fully interactive in-game checklists for the Zlin Aviation Savage Cub if you prefer that format over reading a pdf or just like having complete checklists in your game.
If Updating from version 1.0, please delete the old mod first, the folder name was changed in version 1.1.
Features
- Full interactive procedures as taken from Zlin Aviation Savage Classic/Cruiser/Cub Rotax 912 ULS Flight Manual
- 100% working as a manual checklist or by using the Autocomplete option.
- Removes forced zoom on instruments and uses custom cameras for slightly more natural instrument focus.
- Designed with Evaluation (Assisted Checklist) mode in mind
This mod adds full interactive checklists based on real world procedures, fixes unmapped items when using assisted checklists (or the eye icon), and uses custom camera views for more natural head movement when checking instruments so you aren't forced to take your eyes off of what is outside (you turn your head instead of sliding it around the cabin)
Checklists:
- Preflight Inspection - Cabin: 12 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Before Starting Engine: 5 checkpoints (4 in original)
- Starting Engine: 12 checkpoints (4 in original)
- After Starting Engine: Combined with Starting Engine (3 in original)
- Taxi: 3 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Before Takeoff: 13 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Normal Takeoff: 6 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Short Field Takeoff: 9 checkpoints (new)
- Enroute Climb: 3 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Cruise: 2 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Before Landing: 1 checkpoint (0 in original)
- Normal Landing: 7 checkpoints (0 in original)
- Short Field Landing: 7 checkpoints (new)
- Securing Airplane: 6 checkpoints (0 in original)
Deviations from Normal Procedures:
- Carb Heat and Fuel Boost Pump checkpoints were skipped as they were optional to the Savage Cub and not on the Asobo model
- There should be a fuel shutoff valve, but I think Asobo left out, so I've hidden that checkpoint
- There's an oil pressure check during en route climb that needed a higher acceptable value. Visually it looks fine, within the green arc, but the game is reporting something higher than it should be
Known Issues - Won't Fix:
- N/A
Known Issues - Investigating:
- N/A
Gameplay Notes:
- Some checkpoints may have been reworded to make more sense within the game
- External preflight inspection not included as there's no interactivity. Assume your plane is in perfect condition.
- It's just a checklist. Though some steps are automated, particularly in auto complete mode, it won't fly the plane for you.
Savage Cub Notes:
- Steps that don't have anything to interact with have a clue that starts, "(manual)"
- There are no checkpoints for turning radios on, that's on you
- Don't forget to keep your brakes pressed when you're above idle speeds on the ground. Learned that one the hard way.

Just a small piece of advice. When updating your mod, keep the folder name exactly the same as the original release (usabri-savage-cub-full-checklist). This way downloaders aren't running into the situation of the same exact mod; in two different folder names, inside their community folder. This will help newbies from running into mod conflicts.

Good advice, thanks. I got back to this after a clean reinstall and and honestly didn't even think about that when I was setting up my folder structure, sorry for any confusion.

How accurate is this?

Real world, I'm sure there are things pilots do that aren't in the official procedures. Within the game, I stuck as close to the checklists in the manual as possible. So let's say, 95%?
