• Checklist items spoken by the pilot and confirmed by the co-pilot
  
• Option included that the co-pilot also performs certain settings (gear up, flaps settings etc.) which are part of the checklists
  
• InfoBar displaying the next manually to be taken action
  
• Speed limiter (if the speed below 10kfeet exceeds 250 knots, the co-pilot gives a warning and can automatically extend spoilers until the speed is below 250 knots)
  
• Option to pause FSX 10 NM before TOD or at next waypoint
  
• Saving of all made settings for the next flight (except CHECKLIST and co-pilot functionality)
  
• Ground services (togglable external objects, chocks, pylons, ground power unit)
  
• Door control (controls all doors and hatches)
