Hi Everybody, This is a Southwest Airlines Flight, flight #2287 with nonstop service from Phoenix Sky Harbor to Albuquerque International. We are parked at gate D4, our takeoff runway is 25R and our departure out of Phoenix is the FORPE1 departure. We descend into our arrival airport via the KRKEE3 STAR (Albuquerque International), our arrival runway is 03 and our gate assignment is A8.

I agree! I have a few "enhancements" planned out already, your "quick alignment" option is actually #147 (added in June). Other things: Add option to synchronize CPT+FO´s altimeter setting, speed bugs, minimum carot Add "wheel chocks" option so plane won´t start rolling if brake pressure depleted (as for hyd brake cylinder precharge check). Make "standby altimeter" circuit breaker operable, so one can stop the vibrator from making the "woodpecker" sound... Cheers, Jan

Hi @Litjan and @tkyler! Wonderful to see that you're still doing work on this fine flying machine. I still come back to it every so often, and boy-oh-boy does it still tick all the important "this feels fantastic" flight-model boxes. Thanks! But flattery, although nice, almost always come at a price, so here's my humble request: Quick-alignment. "Why", you say? "We're here to simulate, not to entertain!" Yes, and I totally agree, but the temptation of going for the "ready to fly" option to skip time, also skips one important part of the cockpit-prep: "The awakening of the beast itself". Listening to all the sounds, seeing the monitors coming alive, flicking all switches you wanted to flick when walking by the open cockpit door as a child: these are important things! But as we grow older, time gets more important. Joking aside, please, pretty please with a cherry on top, give us an option to reduce the IRS alignment time.
