This is a set of basic checks to run on an aircraft, to validate compatibility with a FlightGear version
- start on a runway, and start the engine manually
- start using the autostart
- start in-air
(note different aircraft may not work for in-air start)
- check throttle (and pitch and mixture) work as expected
- check brakes response and parking brake
- tune COM1 and ensure ATIS is audible
- check volume adjustment if there's a control for it
- check altimeter setting
- tune NAV1 and check behaviour
(might need to be done in air)
- fly a circuit
- check flaps / gear work as expected
- check radar altimeter if fitted
- fly an approach
- check ILS reception / deviation
- check DME readings
- check fuel consumption / fuel dialog
- execute a reposition, check nothing breaks
- execute a reset, check nothing breaks :) (the sim might crash...)
Non-standard stuff
- Check appearance under a compositor build
- Check appearance under very high ALS settings?
Autopilot checks
- ?
