I would like to see Skydemon supporting airplane checklists, with the option to have SD call out the items, with the current speak capabilities. This may also be linked to the alarm feature to enable checklist pop-up for recurring items during enroute.
What do you think? Would it be of value to others?

Personally I prefer to do the check lists from memory. One of my syndicate relies on SD to remind him to switch tanks every 30 minutes. One day he flew without SD and returned with one tank almost empty and the other full. Moral learn your checks, it was all the rage 40 years ago when I learnt to fly.

It's a navigation package, not a checklist app, performance calculator or coffee maker. If you're flying a machine that warrants an electronic checklist then Boeing or Airbus would have given you proper one with little green ticks when you've been a good person. If there's nobody next to you to read out the checklist then you don't need one.

Looks like SD is not supporting the speak text function? @Development, please enable this system function.

It doesn't exist in SD - looks like Ridgeskimmer is using the Ipad split screen / overlay feature to overlay the checklists created in . https://www.miracheck.com/

This feature would be great. Although I assume they will refuse again, to keep SD „as simple as possible“ and instead make the aircraft trail customizable...

It wouldn't be 'great'; it's just a silly gimmick that allows wannabes to pretend they're in a 787 (that doesn't have speaking voices). For goodness sake, just use a written checklist if you must but keep SkyDemon as a navigation app and not something that is meant to fly the aircraft for you. Takeoff performance, circuit diagrams, speaking checklists.....you're on a C172, not a Space Shuttle.

If a 787 does not have speaking voices, why should one pretend to be in one by using audio checklists? This makes no sense. As You may have seen in my link, this is nothing related to a certain kind of aircraft but to certain software. And the competitor already offers it.
Also SkyDemon is much more than a navigation app. It already is a Mass & Balance and Fuel Consumption Calculator as well as weather forecast and so on. Even the integration of PDF checklists in SD is suggested.
A checklist is neither something supposed to fly the aircraft for one nor something to use „if you must“. It is mandatory and as an aural reminder will allow to look, where we all should look to instead of a written list. Clearly a big improvement for safety, which You are completely free not to use.

I agree it's not needed in any way, but I think the comparison is a bit funny as the procedure in the two pilot environment is to do call out on the checklist items. Whether you read them or a device reads them to you, should be the same process, it's just a matter of personal preference.
Speaking of silly gimmicks I think some of the recent changes, like the breadcrumbs, highlight of FIS border in zoom out and weather overlay playback is more silly, and I would prefer SD to focus on some real new capabilities.

That feature was asked by many customers more than once (just search in this forum)...but refused every time. So I think we will not get a native implementation of a checklist (with or without speak)
