Hey guys I was wondering if cpdlc is possible to be incorporated in pmdg to work in vatsim or ivao!? It will be so cool!Kind Regards

Controller Pilot Data Link Communications is just that a datalink. Although cool I would love to see a direct link to ATC without the need to run the UI's necessary to communicate to VATSIM/IVAO comtrollers.So are you asking for CPDLC because you do not use voice comms. while flying?

This is already in use on Vatsim, just undock the Hoppy FMC to another screen and use it as a third FMC.I'm guessing you want the whole thing incorporated into the VC without multi monitors, it would be good if PMDG did that but a second screen is cheap for stuff like this. BAV also has a dispatch and company freq if you use TOPCAT for ACARS.http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51232

The Hoppie system is great, and some controllers on vatsim are already using it, mostly oceanic. :)http://www.hoppie.nl/acars/prg/air/

Is it possible? Of course. Will we do it? I have no idea.

They would need to implement a system for 3d models for traffic, VATSIM compatible SELCAL, a text based communication system for UNICOM etc. The pilot clients does alot of things, not just voice comms. Adding proper native VATSIM support is probably not what the majority of the PMDG customers would want PMDG to spend their time on. However, something like CPDLC wouldnt be that big of an undertaking, as its only CPDLC, not all the other stuff as well

Interesting, thanks for the feedback Wim.

You could do what Hoppie has done and have allow external programs to plug into and be controlled by the CDU *hint hint* :DCheersNick Jones

great i hope you do manage to incorporate it in the ngx if not the 777 will be even greater

no i use voice i just want cpdlc for extra realism

i was wondering if in PMDG mdcu it's possible to log on on ACARS and CPDLC, and if it is how to do it?? because i have no idea i tried and tried but nothing, also in hoppi ACARS is it possible to be integrated with pmdg MCDU?

I hope so. I'd love to hear the ACARS "ding-dong" and use the Accept, Reject, Cancel buttons on the 777. Maybe they can just periodically show generic messages.

It's not been modelled in any of their aircraft, yet.

It would be nice, but at the same time, trying to do it and remain platform independent would be tough, I think.

Chaps,

 

There was actually some discussion on tis in theVATSIM forum in relation to the new pilot client they are looking to develop.

 

The crux of the argument is that it is possible to be done however VATSIM in relation to the pilot client need to specify what parameters are needed to connect to the network and pass messages etc... to PMDG so that it can be incorporated.

 

So when flying under say Shanwick, you could log into the ATC data link as easily as tuning frequency.

 

If VATSIM or IVAO created a set of standard parameters then anyone add on developer could create a cpdlc client in the aircraft that could connect.

 

Cheers,
