July 10, 201312 yr Will pmdg simulate company and atc pages on eicas? João Marcelo João MarceloIntel I7 950NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SECORSAIR 6gb RAM
July 10, 201312 yr Unfortunately not dude - but it will have all the normal & non-normal checklists. - Luke Pabari
July 10, 201312 yr Checklists for a truly paperless (or window switching-less) cockpit will be nice. What about that sweet crew alerting FMC down on the lower pedestal? Can we ding each section? I love the pax stuff on these big birds.
July 10, 201312 yr What about that sweet crew alerting FMC down on the lower pedestal? Can we ding each section? I love the pax stuff on these big birds. Look at the latest screenshots - it's on the lower CDU. Whether you'll hear all those dings - I doubt it, since you can't hear the majority if any in the real flight deck. There isn't actually an FMC in that one - so I'll be using it for setting the fuel/payload, doors & ground connections. - Luke Pabari

It looks like a page is dedicated to crew alerts so I wonder if anything is simulated or anything. I think it was answered somewhere but I forget where.
July 10, 201312 yr What about that sweet crew alerting FMC down on the lower pedestal? If you're talking about the system that sounds the Master Warning if the crew doesn't press a button for a specific amount of time, I hope there's an option to disable that. I'm not going to be able to be at my computer for 14+ hours to press a button every few minutes. There isn't actually an FMC in that one - so I'll be using it for setting the fuel/payload, doors & ground connections. That's what I do with the center CDU in the MD-11. It looks like a page is dedicated to crew alerts so I wonder if anything is simulated or anything. I think I remember Robert or Ryan saying that they won't include the PA/interphone pages.

July 10, 201312 yr I think I remember Robert or Ryan saying that they won't include the PA/interphone pages. Hmm I wonder why they have a screenshot of the lower FMC with that page displayed. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
July 12, 201312 yr Commercial Member Gents- I don't think Robert or Ryan said that... At least not recently since we've been playing around with the cabin call pages for a few months internally... Alex and I spent some time discussing company messaging, ACARS and OOOI handling this morning. These items won't make the RMT release- but will appear in an update. They aren't hard- but they require some functionality under the hood that we didn't plan ahead for- so it needs to be added. Robert S.

July 12, 201312 yr ...OOOI handling... *Silly question alert* What is OOOI? "If you can't solve and equation with calculus, you're not using enough calculus" - A wise friend
July 12, 201312 yr The times recorded for Out, Off, On, In. That is the times of the flight. Cheers, Richard Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.2 GHz, 16 GB memory, 1 TB SSD, GTX 1080 Ti, 28" 4K display Win10-64, P3Dv5, PMDG 748 & 777, Milviz KA350i, ASP3D, vPilot, Navigraph, PFPX, ChasePlane, Orbx

One part of a sim that is usually missing is the stuff you wouldn't really need in the virtual world ie: cabin calls OOOI tracking.

These items won't make the RMT release- but will appear in an update. OOOI handling? All I can remember about figuring out OOOI handling was asking pilots to hit the triggers (I think the RJ was door closed, beacon on, park off) to help avoid a ramp delay... It would be nice to have this back. It was a cool feature in the 744. Kyle Rodgers

They aren't hard- but they require some functionality under the hood that we didn't plan ahead for- so it needs to be added. That is great news. Will people be able to wire it to the network ACARS systems - such as Hoppie network or maybe Vatsim CPDLC? (Provided you will also account for CPDLC.) I have started working on a standalone in-sim gauge inspired by Collins DLC-800 IDU, with aim, eventually, to integrate as deep as possible into top-class addons. I am very glad to hear that developers are discussing these things internally, this would be a great thing to have built in. --Peter Fabian
