大家好，我是JeremyGolf。最近PMDG发布了他们最新的747空中女皇扩展包：747-8.在发布之前，PMDG同时发布了两篇文章，来引导用户正确使用这个新产品。其中一篇即为本文。由于楼主最近工作繁忙，我暂且翻译一篇，另外一篇我有空再翻译。

Using the Electronic Checklist (ECL) controller: It isn't stuck!
使用电子检查单控制器：并不是卡了！
PMDG 747-400/747-8 QOTS II
Here is an area in the PMDG 747-8 that is going to trip some users up, and so we wanted to put together a special, single topic item here for you to read. Our hope is that this will prevent confusion when it comes to the Electronic Check List (ECL) system in the 747-8.
PMDG747-8会导致一些用户混淆，于是乎我们推出了一些单项的主题供您阅读。我们希望借本文来解决用户在747-8中使用电子检查单时产生的疑惑。
HOW TO KNOW YOU SHOULD COME BACK AND RE-READ THIS LATER: If you find yourself in a scenario where you think the ECL has “frozen” or “is stuck” or “isn’t responding to mouse clicks” come back here and read this again.
【你怎么知道你需要返回本文学习姿势？】（flag高高立起，你肯定会回来读的。译者注）当你觉得你使用电子检查单时，结果发现这东西似乎是死机、没响应，或者不听鼠标单击的使唤，那么，请回来再次阅读本文吧。
When the 777 first debuted back in the mid 90s, it was innovative in that it had a touch pad installed for each pilot in order to control the ECL. The touch pad functioned much like the touch pad on a laptop computer, allowing the crew to slew a cursor around on the ECL screen, with push buttons to make selections by clicking.
时光回溯到上世纪90年代中叶，在波音三条拐刚刚推出的时候，驾驶舱两个飞行员座椅都配备一块触控板，用于操作电子检查单(ECL)。这种触控板和笔记本电脑上的触控板类似，可以让机组在ECL的屏幕上拖动光标，并且有单击选取项目的按钮。
When we designed the PMDG 777, we emulated this functionality by creating a custom process that allowed you to use your mouse to move the cursor around over the top of the ECL display and click on desired items. This very effectively emulated the function of the onboard touch-pad from the pilot’s perspective, and also worked very much like a standard Windows interface, so it was really quite handy!
在我们设计PMDG777时，我们使用移动电脑鼠标的方法来模拟了这个操作ECL的过程。这种方式很完美地表现了飞行员操作ECL的过程，并且也和标准的Windows 操作系统界面非常兼容，于是乎，这就用起来很顺手。
The 747-8 is DIFFERENT:
Okay so this should be an obvious fact, but it still needs to be pointed out: The PMDG 777 and the PMDG 747-8 are different from each other.
然而呢，747-8说：我们不一样！
对，本来这就是明显的事实，但我们还是不得不强调一下：PMDG 三条拐 和 PMDG 大头鹅-8 是不一样滴！
Yes, they are both stunningly beautiful airplanes to look at, and yes they both are detailed in grand fashion within our simulations, but the issue we are focused on here is that the 747-8 airplane also has an ECL
but you will interact with it a manner that is completely different than what you became accustomed to in the 777.
没错，两架飞机都很漂亮，而且我们对两款飞机的模拟都很到位。不过呢，问题在于，747-8操纵电子检查单的手法，
和777是完全不一样的。（这也是PMDG的传统了，比如737的气压修正旋钮可以用鼠标滚轮旋转，而777的只能鼠标拖拽，因为真实世界里，777的那个旋钮是不能旋转的，只能左右扭动。译者注）
It is important to understand how this will change your interaction with the PMDG 747-8 ECL system.
所以，了解PMDG747-8在电子检查单操作上的变化，至关重要。
If you look to the side of the throttles, you will see that the analog trim gauge from the 747-400 has been replaced with a selector knob. This knob rotates, and also has a push-to-select function that allows a crew member to push vertically downward on the knob to make selections.
如果你看向油门杆侧面，你会发现一个模拟信号水平尾翼配平显示被一个选择旋钮取代了。该旋钮可以旋转，可以点按，可以通过滚动和选取来进行操作。
If you look at the ECL screen, and rotate the knob, you will notice that the magenta selection box moves progressively through each of the clickable items displayed on the screen. If you rotate the knob by left/right clicking on it, or by rolling your mouse-wheel, the magenta selection box moves in the desired direction. For purpose of this explanation, it is helpful to think of knob rotation as performing the same function as the tab key on your keyboard when moving a selection between options within the Windows operating system.
如果你看向电子检查单显示屏，你会发现有一个品红色的选项框在每个可选项目之间滚动。如果你在（飞机上的）旋钮上单击（你自己电脑上的）鼠标左/右键，或者使用鼠标滚轮滚动，你会发现那个红选项框也在朝相应的方向移动。为了更容易让读者理解，您可以想象成和Windows 系统的电脑上（苹果的Mac OS也一样吧？译者吐槽）使用Tab键在不同选项之间选取一样的功能。
Once you have the desired item highlighted, simply push down on the knob to click.
当你选择到了想要的项目，只需按压旋钮即可选取。
The ECL will respond appropriately, and move to the next logical place on your checklist, or to the menu you have selected, as the case may be.
电子检查单会照常运作的，并自动转移至下一个可选项目，或者在其他情况下，转至你选择的菜单页面。
You will find that this function is quite nicely compatible with your mouse scroll wheel, with the scroll wheel serving as the rotating knob, and then clicking to simulate pushing down on the selector knob.
(NOTE: Your mouse must be over the ECL screen for this to operate, but it is important to note that the location of your click is the magenta highlighted area and NOT the location of your mouse cursor! <<=== THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER.)
你会发现，这波操作下，鼠标滚轮和ECL旋钮完美搭配，滚动即旋转，单击即按压。
（注意：你必须把鼠标放在ECL屏幕上来实现该操作。【更重要的，请记住】你单击鼠标的操作和红选项框位置有关，与你鼠标位置无关。）
To describe this another way: You can't simply move your mouse to a different item on the display and click. This will not work! The "click" will be applied to whatever is highlighted in magenta, not to the location of your mouse.
换句话说，你不能仅靠移动鼠标和在屏幕上单击来进行操作，没有用的。“单击”这个操作仅对品红色选项框高亮的地方有效，而非鼠标光标指向的位置。（感觉相同的话，我翻译了两遍。译者吐槽）
NOW: We had a vigorous debate internally within PMDG as to whether we should allow users to select between the correct 747-8 selector method and the older 777 method. This debate was eventually settled along the lines of “more options are a good thing for users” and we have included both functions.
顺带一提：针对是否该允许用户同时使用正确的747-8选择方式，还是早些时候的777的操作方式，我们PMDG内部进行过激烈的讨论。最终结果是，我们依据“更多选择，更多关爱”的精神，我们同时保留了这两种选项。
If you find that the new roller knob functionality confuses you, or doesn’t work for you because you use your mouse wheel for something else more important, you can easily activate the old 777 style of ECL manipulation by going into the OPTIONS menu within the FMS, go to SIMULATION and on Page 5, change the selection from WHEEL to CURSOR. You can play with this in flight by switching back and forth to see which one you like more, it won’t hurt anything.
如果你觉得这种旋钮选取的方式会让你不爽，或者你的鼠标滚轮有其他更重要的用途，那么你也可以激活777形式的电子检查单操作方式。在FMS飞行计算机中，选取“OPTIONS”（选项），进入“SIMULATION”（模拟），翻到第5页，将选项WHEEL（滚轮）改为CURSOR（光标）。你也可以在飞行的过程中来回调整，选择你喜欢的选项，反正不会有幺蛾子。
GOTCHAS:
We mentioned in the beginning that you are inevitably going to hit a moment in your flying in which you think, “hey, the ECL is frozen and not responding.” When this happens, stop and take a look at your ECL screen closely. Chances are, the checklist has reached a “sensed switch” that requires input from the crew in the FMS to match a handle/selector position, or simply requires a knob/switch to be in a specific position before the item can be checked off the list.
我懂你的：
我们一开始就说了，你一定会陷入这个境地的（官方flag），然后在那里思考：为什么电子检查单没反应？坏掉了吗？这时候，暂停一下，然后靠近ECL屏幕认真看一看。有以下几种可能性：1.检查单到了某个特殊的步骤，需要机组从FMS输入数据，并与相对应的把手/选择开关相一致；2.某个旋钮或按钮需要放在一个特定位置，才能继续接下来的检查单操作。
When this happens, you simply need to use the roller knob to move the magenta box to whatever other desired item you need to select, because the location of your click is the magenta highlighted area and NOT the location of your mouse cursor. (Remember we said this was important?)
当这种情况发生时，你只需要旋转旋钮/鼠标滚轮来移动红色选择框到需要被选取的选项，因为你点按鼠标的位置，实际上是红框的位置，而非鼠标光标的位置。（记得我们划过的重点吗？）
Now, if you fall into this trap, don’t panic. Just use the roller knob or your mouse wheel and you will find everything is working just great. (And don’t feel badly because 1/3 of the PMDG team stumbled into this late in beta testing and thought it was broken, too... See? Even we have bad days.)
现在，如果你因此身陷囹圄，不要慌张。你只要动一下旋钮，或者你的鼠标滚轮，你就会发现，啥都运作很正常啦。（也不要因此而沮丧，因为即便到了我们的最终测试期间，我们也有1/3的员工卡在这里，以为是宕机了。看吧，就算是我们，日子也不好过呀。）
Remember: When in doubt, roll the knob to move the magenta selection box.
最重要的重点：记住！出现问题，动一下旋钮/鼠标滚轮，来移动红框框的位置！
