Michael,>On the other hand: the ability to read PIC variables means>that one can develop an "FS-free" independent display driver>(ala Project Magenta) and have them execute on another host. >I shall continue to wait patiently ...Yes, that would also be an option. My aim is to make oll the leds in the (real, home made) panel working, not only those that are purely FS driven.Example: the leds of the fuel switches.Kind regards,Stephan Haaswww.lemont.nl/b767flightdeckhttp://www.pic767flyingclub.com/images/sas544.jpg

cool ATC. Is that within the new PIC or something like Radar Contact?

Now what the hell am I supposed to fly? The 737 or the 767??? Oh, and another 747 will be out as well. I hate this!!!!

I think you can safely expect that there will be one heck of an FMC. :)--M

Stuning video, can wait to fly it :)BTW in the early stages it was mentioned about networked gauges. Is this still the case?RegardsChris

Can I ask a really dumb question for you 767 experts? - As I understand it Level D are only creating the -300 version (and not the -300ER). Is this version certified for ETOPS i.e. north atlantic hops? Best RegardsBoone,[email protected]"Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle. It's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes."

I hope they will make the ER's :)

Hi Stephan,RE :"However: networked gauges (as some suspect) and the ability to read PICv2 variables are high on my list. Both have been confirmed by Wade."Was this recently confirmed???...ie since the announcement of Level D......... ???I have all fingers and toes crossed....please don't keep me in suspense!!

Question: There were numerous comments concerning PMDG, CapSim, various programs- 747, 737, etc. Why was nothing mentioned about the Dreamfleet 727? lr.

If the 767 they come out with has a fuel capacity of around 160,xxx lbs, then it is -by definition- a 767-300ER (same as PIC767).See the Boeing site for details on this...www.boeing.com/assocproducts/aircompat/acaps/7672sec2.pdf There are some other differences between a 767-300 and the "ER" version (high alt APU fitted, range, 4th hyd system, etc - for ETOPS), but the key is the fuel capacity, at least as far as your desktop simulator is concerned :-)Rob.

Ian,No, not recently. Networked gauges: it was confirmed in the radio-message thing some time ago, and maybe also some other time.Variables: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=search(took me some time to get this one back by searching)Kind regards,Stephan Haaswww.lemont.nl/b767flightdeckhttp://www.pic767flyingclub.com/images/sas544.jpg

I am very excited about this simulator addon. What could be better?

The only downside I have seen to this whole project is that the systems are modeled after the -300 and not the -300ER which most airlines use. In fact only 1 US airline uses the -300 and that is Delta and only a small handful elsewhere in the world. I just wish they would have picked the ER version instead.

Sorry to say, but neither Pmdg or Ariane cant be interfaced with freeware or payware hardware like Fsbus or Open Cocpit, or any otheri know ,so they are equal worthless for me and any cockpit builder
