I stumbled over this one a few days ago and it's now been updated to v2.0 which has added highlighting of switches and gauges in VC when requested for a checklist item. An absolutely brilliant way of lear ning where all the stuff is.

This is one of MSFS's great features! I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion of it. This is such a great way to suck more casual users of MSFS into the deep end of the pool most of us here fell into a while ago. 🙂

Thanks for that heads up! Will try that out for sure!

Great idea. Will download it this evening. 

Works really well for the most part. It doesn't zoom to that part of the panel when you click the eye, and a few of the options I am not sure what to do, but other than that it is really good. Highly recommend. 

Saints be praised!!!!!!

Thanks for the heads up, i knew it was being collaborated on after the v1.0 release but didnt expect it to be done so quickly.

 

I use this all the time. The jf arrows have this also and they are very detailed

I might buy the plane now…

I’m a bit surprised that this feature wasn’t built in from the get go.

Yeah this is a no brainer. I hope they do it for the ngx and also emergency procedures. That would be great 

i wonder why people want is so easy ?

the fun is finding the buttons, knobs yourselve.

no, it's not about easy. I don't plan on using it all the time. I find it useful for LEARNING a new a/c.

To me it's like having an instructor sitting there saying...ok this button does...

we can make a "autozoom kind of" - its point to dedicated camera view, but its not best way for TrackIR or VR users

I don't know about you but I don't want to spend 30 minutes looking for buttons to turn on a yaw damper

yep agree  with  you,  just need  to  spend  some  time  on the  first  flight  to know  where  every  switch is.  Than the next  time  will become  easier  and  so  on  will  become  second  nature

I mean, there's nothing wrong with that approach. But why is that better than having someone in the cockpit pointing you in the right direction on that first flight? Or, in this case, the virtual equivalent?

To me this is like saying that it's better to learn to play the piano on your own, without a teacher: just find the keys your first time and then it gets easier after. That's one way to learn, and some people do learn that way. But I can't see many advantages to it, even though there are obvious disadvantages. Same here...
