FS Aircraft Shutdown v1.3

File Description:
FS Aircraft Shutdown systematically shuts down aircraft systems if they are in use. This is useful if you've created and started a flight with the aircraft "running" but prefer to start with a "cold and dark" cockpit. It's also useful if you don't want to manually execute shutdown procedures after a flight for whatever reason. (cj)

PMDG 747 Audio Checklist

File Description:
PMDG 747 Easy Audio Checklist v1.0. This freeware interactive Audio Checklist for the PMDG Boeing 747 was created to start the PMDG 747 faster and easier, beginning form a cold and dark cockpit. The Audio Checklist is "interactive" and can be stopped and resumed anytime by a single keypress. It also enhances the "Captain feel" of having a copilot reading the checklist instead of reading it yourself.

RandomCockpitB747

File Description:
This program is written explicitly for PMDG's B747-400F, however I expect it will work with their plain B747-400 (however - at least as of now - you will probably miss a few items at the "Randomizer Settings"). With their B747-400 and later B747-400F, PMDG took a huge step toward making the experience of flying a B747-400 as real is possible; at least to the degree that is possible in the confined space of MSFS. There is room for little improvement, however there is a "littel room" still. Doing the preparation/initial check of the cockpit is normally a "dull no-brainer" since every knob is where you left it from your last flight (or at least as it was saved in the "Flight" and/or "Panel State"). Using this program you can randomize your cockpit, so you will have to pay attention to your preparation/initial check since you no longer knows the state of your cold and dark cockpit.
