September 19, 200322 yr Commercial Member We are working on an update of the 767 that will contain some new features. The exact details are subject to change, but some of the new features will probably include:Addition of winds in FMC.Modelling of most or all special waypoint types in procedures.Improved CRT displays.Networked panel components such as CRTs.Dual CDUs.An SDK that will allow 3rd party programs to interface directly with the sim.Other things.At this time there is no plan for a new visual aircraft model or VC. Those are both possibilities but not decided and not currently being worked on. As you know we are most interested in functionality and completeness of simulation, so that is where our efforts will go, rather than into eye-candy. It will be released as a standalone package, ie. you will not need to own PIC to use it. The networked components will likely be sold seperately. It will not be called "767 Pilot in Command" because that name is owned by WILCO.The release date and method is undetermined. Any speculation by me or anyone else on the release date would be pointless and probably misleading. These things happen in their own time. A word to the wise, take the reports you have heard recently with a grain of salt. Nothing is cast in stone, everything is subject to change. More info when it's time.Regards,Wade
September 19, 200322 yr FANTASTIC NEWS!!I'm actually listening to the radio .vma right now, how timely.This networked gauges, could really change the way we fly in FS.
September 19, 200322 yr Commercial Member Awesome news - thank you PIC team!!!!Ryan Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
September 19, 200322 yr Commercial Member Wade,One quick thing - can you say if you'll be including 757 support in the FMC and flight dynamics areas? That would probably be my number one request to you guys for the new version...Thanks again!RyanPS - Is PONSKY gonna give us a 767v4 with VC (integrating the PIC2 gauges of course) to use with this???

September 19, 200322 yr At this time there is no plan for a new visual aircraft model or VC I noticed that you made no mention of the 2D cockpit. Will this contain a newly created panel at least?[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

September 19, 200322 yr Super news!Thank you for the info Wade!As for the visuals... Just make a good panel like you (all) did in the original version, and the visuals can be found elsewhere... ;-)I especially like the SDK... FSBUS control over the panel without the use of keyboard/mouse!Thanks again!George DorkofikisAthens, Greece
September 19, 200322 yr S U P E R ! ! !Wade & guys are making it possible for me (and a few friends) to finally GET ON with our full flight sim 757 project building!:-sun1 See anything familiar (this is just WIP) ?http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~partanen/757.jpgTero PPL(A)
September 19, 200322 yr Good luck, Wade! (and Team)Please let me know if you need someone to run some comparison checks (RW Vs sim) and I'll see what I can do (I'm sure I have HPSOV's or Andrew's number somewhere :-lol)Jumping for joy....http://members.ozemail.com.au/~b744er/kangaroo.gifCheeers.Ian.P.S. Looking forward to the mysterious "other things" also :-) (but I won't be joining the "gimme, gimme" crowd.... I'll take whatever you decide to put in it ;-)).
