An idea for the 747

[Guest oranum]

Hello,First of all PMDG let me thank you for making us such great add-ons, can't wait for the 744!I'd like to make a small suggestion for the 744. In our sim world crossing the Atlantic usually just means inputing NATs instead of regular NAVAIDS and fixes... Even if it's not much, how about simulating requests for oceanic clearance via ACARS? I think that just having the page on the FMC and being able to "send" the information about your crossing, and having to wait for that DING DONG with your actuall clearance information (same data just copied back to you in a clearance format), could be a nice addition to the realism of the flight.Would love to hear your thoughtsthanks.

Well, considering PMDG did have a very rudimentary ACARS section on the NG's FMC, I'd say they're toying with the concept. What would be neat is implementation that allows VA's to use the ACARS and create a "virtual" dispatch of sorts.Daniel P.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpgMember of SJU Photography.
