I welcome input on arrangement and wording on any item.

Sounds very good to me!

Select livery (may belong in Main Menu or Simulator Options?) Registration (may belong in Main Menu or Simulator Options?)

I would put that into the aircraft options. Maybe even the registration should go into the liveries dialog, because thats also depending on livery in use?

Reminder:

Consolidate carb icing in Complex engine procedures and failure with Enable Frost, Fog and Icing.

An idea: Subdivide the "A) Simulator Options" into

• generic options (like "Save state", "Show human models")
• realism options (like "enabble damage", "Complex engine procedures")

Reasoning: The realism options probably will raise in detail and number. One item I have on the list for the C182 is for example related to instrument/gyro realism
