... well, you can always have check lists displayed instead

god knows that we have so many planes to fly and having to remember mixture / supercharger/prop settings for all of them can be rather PITA .

to do it properly you need :

1. edit hier.him file of desired cockpit

- it determines position of objects in cockpit ( can be done via wordpad or similar text editor)

2. introduce new mesh file along with respective tga file and mat file to desired cockpit folder

- mesh : actual object
- tga : texture for mesh ( picture) ... photoshop 32bit rgb alpha channel enabled
- mat : properties for tga ( lighting , alpha etc.) ... via text editor

you can borrow those files from some other cockpit mod or even stock files ( it just have to be flat square object)

word of warning ... if you install any new mod which introduces hier.him file for your cockpit you need to modify it too ( same goes for mod packs)

hope that helps

For this game, reference cards would be far more useful than checklists, since systems modelling and management is extremely simplified, and starting/landing procedures are pretty much almost identical for almost all planes in the game. The only differences really are V numbers and RPM/Hg/Boost/Mixture settings during the different phases of flight, and those are usually found on the reference sheets for a given aircraft type.
