[0.9.9-beta] - 2026-02-14

Finally! The Checklist feature is ready for departure. This is truly the main reason for this app, and all the other neat features were added early on to finally enable an actual pre-simulator checklist process. Highly flexible, tied to your service apps (and websites) so you never forget a critical step. Also includes our first taste of a “Smart Action” which will help ensure you have activated addons for your flight, or assisting in finding new ones!

Added

  • Pre-Flight Checklist (Epic 10) - Customizable step-by-step preflight workflow

    • Six step types: Sync Flight Plan, Launch Service, Open URL, Manual Reminder, Activate Addons, Launch Simulator

    • Steps execute their action when checked (SimBrief sync, app launch, addon activation, etc.)

    • Builder mode with drag-and-drop reordering, add/remove steps, and type-specific config pickers

    • Smart sub-actions: flight plan-aware addon prompts for aircraft, departure, and arrival airports

    • One-click addon activation from smart sub-actions with active/inactive/missing status

    • Provider-specific marketplace search (Flightsim.to, iniBuilds, Contrail) for missing addons

    • Flight plan staleness detection with 24-hour threshold and refresh prompt

    • Launch Simulator enforcement toggle to block launch until checklist is complete

    • Ready indicator with progress counter on the Launch Simulator step

    • Per-step loading spinner, success flash, and error feedback with retry

    • "Include smart items" and "Allow incomplete launch" settings persisted to database

  • Google Analytics Event Framework - Production telemetry for understanding app usage

    • Lightweight analytics service with pluggable GA4 backend via window.gtag

    • app_launched, page_view, and checklist-specific events

    • Graceful degradation: silently no-ops when GA4 unavailable
