That's the problem- FSX is so buggy I can never tell if it's just the sim, or if I've done something wrong with the checklists :p

Starting the default F-18, for example, always gives me a headache cause it seems that the starting process resets when you change views, etc....  

Ah well :p  For now I'll just keep running through the checklists so that, at least, I can do it faster (IIRC, sometimes addons won't start if you take a long time to get them going).
