August 4, 201213 yr As the title I would ask please if NGX will benefit somehow from some features that will be introduced with 777. Thx in advance

August 4, 201213 yr ACARS, EFB, RTA function, I hope all of those things. Ron Hamilton "95% is half the truth, but most of it is lies, but if you read half of what is written, you'll be okay." __ Honey Boo Boo's Mom
August 4, 201213 yr ACARS, EFB, RTA function, I hope all of those things. I don't know what RTA is, but EFB and ACARS are highly unlikely to appear on the NGX. The 777 won't have ACARS so the NGX definitely wont. Mitch Brown Private Pilot | Aerospace Engineering Major
August 5, 201213 yr Thanks for the answers. It would be nice to have also some official ones, just to be sure. Thx
August 5, 201213 yr The thing is, how can you have ACARS on the 777 or the NGX? It's not like there's anyone there to send you the messages. Is RTA required time of arrival? How does that work? I'm unfamiliar with that. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
August 5, 201213 yr Basically with RTA you set the time you need to be at a waypoint and the aircraft will adjust speed accordingly. Pretty fancy but complex stuff. Patrick Houghton

I'm unfamiliar with that. True but there's other features of ACARS which would be pretty neat. Weather reports, winds data (so you won't have to manually enter it waypoint by waypoint) etc. Dev Singh
August 5, 201213 yr Basically with RTA you set the time you need to be at a waypoint and the aircraft will adjust speed accordingly. Pretty fancy but complex stuff. Ahh okay, thanks. Do you know how it works in the real world? True but there's other features of ACARS which would be pretty neat. Weather reports, winds data (so you won't have to manually enter it waypoint by waypoint) etc. Oh well. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
August 6, 201213 yr The thing is, how can you have ACARS on the 777 or the NGX? It's not like there's anyone there to send you the messages. There could be, if you fly online and the controller is supporting Hoppies ACARS. In that case, ACARS can be used for its data link feature and can be used for stuff like clearance and position reports, Johan Pettersen

In that case, ACARS can be used for its data link feature and can be used for stuff like clearance and position reports, Woah, that's asking for wayyy too much realism. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
August 6, 201213 yr lol Well, it does have to stop at some point. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
August 6, 201213 yr but EFB and ACARS are highly unlikely to appear on the NGX. The 777 won't have ACARS so the NGX definitely wont. And where are you getting this information? It's safe to assume that ACARS won't be simulated, but there's been whisperings of EFB simulationg for a while. When stating conjecture, I try to refrain from presenting it as fact. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
