Well for a start you have the HYD Test, GPWS, Cargo door, Config... it's all in the documentation.RegardsRob

Cargo door test and GPWS test also. Where do you find EVAC test?

Maybe you should look for FS2Crew. All the necessary tests are done by you and your co-pilot.

The EVAC test panel is all the way at the top of the overhead console to the left of the fire levers. Doesn't come up on the 2-D panel so in the VC just pan up and you will see all the red buttons. Took me awhile to find it.

.....Cargo door......Rob

Just for info:Cargo Door Test is initiated automatically with 1st fuel switch on. If the test is not running (or you have missed noticing it:-)), then you have to do it manually.You have to do also: ANNUNCIATOR LIGHT TEST, ENG/ APU FIRE TEST, selecting the IRUs will initiate the CRG FIRE TEST on cargo planes, COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER, ATC TRANSPONDER/ TCAS......and some more....which of those are simulated, I dont know:-))RGDS

Takeoff warning, oxygen, static air, eis selector, overboost.... etcJohn E

Hi John, what do you mean by STATIC AIR and Overboost? They dont require an actual test, correct? You mean a visual inspection of the correct switch/ bar position?RGDS

yep, but you can check the fuel panel as well and the hydraulic panel before setting to auto. Says gear test in the checklist as well but how?John E

Fuel + HYD Panel: you will check, if it is in Auto Mode. Normally, they are in Auto Mode (all panels/ systems are in auto, should be). Thats it. Gear Handle: Pull it out (NOT to up!) to check the red lights on the center panel and on the CONFIG page.RGDS
