A tooltip is specified via a set-tooltip command in a pick (or slider or knob) animation's <hovered> bindings group. The tooltip is configured at this time, especially content and an ID. The mouse-handling system then displays the tooltip at the correct time. This design allows us to show tooltips at configurable points, either the standard method - after the mouse is stationary for a period of time - or in response to other actions, such as mouse clicks/drags. | A tooltip is specified via a set-tooltip command in a pick (or slider or knob) animation's <hovered> bindings group.

Stuart has pushed a further enhancement to the checklist feature. Aircraft authors may now add one or more <binding> elements to a checklist <item>. Conceptually, these are the actions that the user should execute to complete the item. The checklist GUI displays items with such <binding> elements with an additional [>] button. Clicking on the button executes the bindings, allowing the user to watch as the computer/co-pilot/instructor executes the checklist item. | |||
The <binding> element is exactly as you would expect - so property-assign, nasal etc. works. | |||
Due to the power of Nasal and properties, this feature only required 13 lines of code to write, most of which is displaying the button! | |||
Stuart is planning to extend this function so that checklists with one or more items containing a <binding> element can have an (optional) button to execute the entire checklist. I'm still thinking of how best to implement this, as I think one would want a gap between each item. | |||
Stuart highlights the property-interpolate command which provides a very convenient way to interpolate a property to a new value. See Docs/README.commands if you were unaware of this. | |||
Stuart has updated the c172p checklists to use this feature, including some rather cute interpolations of the throttle, mixture and trim controls. | |||
