February 28, 201214 yr It wouldn't greatly surprise me if PMDG would create an addon pack for the T7 which added this feature.If they don't decide to take this path, they very well can include a well done SDK for external devs to work on something like that.An SDK for the 777? I wonder how long THAT would take? Dennis Trawick Screen Shot Forum Rules
February 28, 201214 yr ....The nightmare though of running .pdf's within a VC though makes my head spin.PDF's embedded in the VC for sure would be hard, but rendering them in an FSX window has already been done. You can open any PDF file within FSX with this utility.http://code.google.com/p/fscode/wiki/PDFKneeboard Eric Vander Pilot and Controller Boston Virtual ATC KATL - The plural form of cow.

February 28, 201214 yr Not sure about the EFB but if you have an iPad there is an app called FS Kneeboard and it is GREAT!!It has:Terminal, Sectional, IFR High, and IFR low chartsDTPsChecklists (Included is one for the NGX)Weather UpdatesAnd even a little notepad I dont ever fly without using this app....WORKS GREAT WITH VATSIMhttp://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fs-kneeboard/id373921390?mt=8 Brendon Morgan Core i7 2600K Sandy Bridge ASUS P8P67-M Pro Motherboard 4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series GTX 560TI 1GB GDDR5
February 29, 201214 yr Commercial Member It should be, I suppose.Ryan said a week or 2 ago that the 777 wont include efb. It's not all that common in the real world.Please stop misquoting me! I said many airlines choose not to buy the option - I said absolutely nothing about our 777 having it or not having it.

February 29, 201214 yr Please stop misquoting me! I said many airlines choose not to buy the option - I said absolutely nothing about our 777 having it or not having it.Then I apologize. I could have sworn it wouldn't be included as it's seldom used by us carriers. Kenneth Weir My Saitek yoke mod i7 2600k @ 4.7 8GB Gskill CAS7 2x GTX580 SLI Surround + GT520 Accessory Win7x64
February 29, 201214 yr Well I think a EFB will take a lot of time to develop. But I would love to see a performance calculation tool to be included in 777(TO/LDG distance, TO thrust, etc). :( David Chen
March 1, 201214 yr Commercial Member Gents-We do have a PMDG-compatible EFB on our long term development agenda. The NGX, 777 and <secret project #2> all share the same code core- so our intent is that we would introduce it and allow you to operate it within each of those products.When will it happen? Not soon... but it is something we want to do because WE think it would be cool to have... Robert S. Randazzo PLEASE NOTE THAT PMDG HAS DEPARTED AVSIM You can find us at: http://forum.pmdg.com

March 3, 201214 yr Might be opening a can of worms here but oh well..... Does this mean secret project #2 is a Boeing?!?!Who knows? Although, it is likely an airliner if it runs on the same base code as the NGX. Likely a Boeing.Maybe a 757? :( Wait that is LevelD's job!
March 3, 201214 yr Well if it is indeed a major code share with NGX and 777 my bet is on 747 rework. --Peter Fabian
