Skyview Checklist Maker
 
I wasn't satisfied with Dynon's method for creating custom checklists so I started working on an alternative. It's pretty far along and I have created a nice RV-12 checklist with it, but I'm not sure what to do with it now, if anything. Here are some screen shots to give you an idea as to where I was headed with it:











It has not been tested beyond my own PC, but I do have a self-installer that should work on any Windows machine. I really have no idea what to do with it at this point. Sell it, give it away, just forget about it - it seems a waste to only use it for my own checklist, but I'm reluctant to get pulled back into professional IT, by which I mean that I'm not sure I want to be forever on the hook for maintenance and enhancements.

As such, I would like to have a handful of people try it out, see how it works, and give me an idea as to how much more development it will need before being useful for a broader audience. Before doing that, though, I thought it might be a good idea to get some feedback on what I have done already.

Thoughts?

Edit: I think this link will allow downloading of the sample RV-12 checklist: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13pt...ew?usp=sharing

UPDATE: this is a link to a folder on my Google Drive. I think I have it set up so anyone with this link can download the installer and some very light documentation. This link works for me, but that doesn't prove much - if it works for you, please let me know. Well, I guess I'd like to know either way.

Thanks!

I'd give it a whirl. Part of the reason I haven't used the checklists on my Skyview is because I *hate* editing the files...

I'd like to try it. I'm an old coder (and still coding for my own business). What did you code it in?

Looks great... I've been meaning to actually develop a check list for my plane. Something like this might actually drive me to do it.

As far as what to do with it. Develop it to something with a pretty good following... Then sell to Dynon. :P

Dave,
I?d like to try it. 700 hours behind my Skyviews and I?ve put off finishing the checklists long enough.

It's C#/.net built with Visual Studio 2017 Community.

I'm not sure I'm doing this right, but I think this link will take you to a folder on my Google Drive. You should be able to download the installer and a brief how-to guide.

Please give it a try and see if it works. If it does, I'll add the link to the original post.

Just downloaded it and installed it. It comes up fine. I'll take a look at it in more depth tomorrow. Looks good!

Great, thanks for letting me know.

Works for me also
 
I was able to download it, install it, and I to will try it out within the next few days. I needed to update my checklists anyway, and this will be a good test.

Thank you for all the hard work in making this possible. Will post my results soon.
