Your checklist call appears to be FS2k2 which means you're looking for a *.txt textfile

The FS9 aircraft.cfg call looks like:
kb_checklists=Cessna208_Check
kb_reference=Cessna208_ref

These lines call Cessna208_Check.htm and Cessna208_ref.htm which as you know are webpages.

Bill
P.S. your checklist= call is blank so don't expect too much from that  ;D

..........To add your own checklist in FS9 you could make up your own checklist or open one you have in say M$ Works and save it in the particular aircraft's folder as HTML file called say.. wotsitschecklist  then call it from that aircraft.cfg as wji posted..  

kb_checklists=wotsitschecklist
kb_reference=Cessna208_ref

.........do the same for the Reference page. The same MIGHT work in FS2k2. but saved as a .text file and add the file name after the checklists=    I don't know about that but up to you to check it out.

Sure to be somebody knows how it'd done but I don't use FS2k2...commoner  ;)
BTW..Backup files before messing eh!

FS2004 will accept either an html or text file. Save the files in your airplanes main folder (where the aircraft.cfg and .air files are)

FS2002 uses the same call, (kb_checklist=......) but
accepts text file.

That 'checklist=' may be from F98 or 2000.

Cheers,
Dave

...Well yes dave , you can use .text file either but they are not so "pretty" as HTML files are they?...they look sort of like..er..well...text files I guess. A bit crude, thanks for the info regarding FS2k2 though, useful to know that........commoner  ;D

I'm using Flight Sim. 2004. The World Crusier may be a 2002 aircraft up graded to 2004. I'm not sure. Perhaps I can ask Dennis. I tryed to get it to work by making the files look like ones from other aircraft, just exchanged the words Gulf_IV for World cruiser in both places but I really don't know what I'm doing yet. Wildie.
