Will the PMDG 777 have Onboard Airport Navigation System (ONAS)?

It better, otherwise I'm sending a strongly worded letter to Rob.

That would be nice for airports that I rarely fly through, paper charts are nice but the onboard system would be much nicer.

I hate to be that guy...

 

...actually, I kinda just accept it as my job.

 

 

 

 

This is an issue I run into all the time in VATSIM. When I'm designing our tower scopes, how do I do it? Do I use the FAA Chart (they're not as precisely accurate as you'd imagine - look at KBCB, and then go look at Google Maps - the taxiway is backwards). Do I use the default scenery (which is rarely actually accurate)? Do I use payware scenery X? There's no good answer, as each person may have different scenery installed. There are too many variables to render a tool like this accurate.

 

They could get crafty and figure out a way around it, and that would be amazing, but I figured I'd point out why it would be very difficult to do well.

As Kyle said that is fully dependend on the scenery you have installed.

The only possibility I would see in it, to actually read the installed scenery file, and then create the data needed.

This however seems for me either difficult and/or CPU heavy, but I might be wrong as I am no FSX expert.

Yeah, that was my "unless they get crafty" reference, but like you, I'm not sure how crazy difficult that would be.

O/T Did anyone think it was pronounced Thales as in Wales or fails, rather than Ta-les?

 

Cool technology. I'm sure I've seen B787's with this feature.
