i ask about the EFB in the PMDG 777 , i know that PMDG says that jeppesen requests money for subscirbe the charts and for that reason PMDG does.t Programmed the EFB , but i want PMDG rethink , pepole like me i have subscribe for IFR europe charts for 1 year in jeppview , why PMDG don,t allow to open the charts in EFB from my computer , so anyone have subscibe for the charts like me can use the EFB , only i want PMDG to program the EFB and anyone have subscribe for the charts in his computer can open it , and that's make the aircraft more realstic

Thank you

This is impractical.

I seriously doubt a large percentage of people using FSX also have a subscription with Jeppesen products.

 

Coding a major feature like an EFB that is only accessible by such a small corner of FSX pilots isn't worth the time or effort.

programing the EFB make the aircraft more realstic and PMDG make international product and i know real pilots in my country flight the pmdg 737ngx and they missed the EFB in the 737ngx becuase the company which these pilots works at have the 737 ng with EFB onboard , and all of these pilots have subscribe for jeppesen EFB , what i mean with all that i say that the EFB if programed make the aircraft more relastic , even it not functional for pepole does,t have subscribefor jeppesen EFB , only look at EFB corner and see it Luminous is something good

We will not be programming an EFB that requires customers to have an expensive Jeppesen subscription to use it. Absolutely no way that is happening.

oh sorry i did not know that , i edit it now

 

but there is some people ( even there are very few ) have subscribe , and looking at EFB corner and see it dark and covered is not realistic idea , and if PMDG program the EFB to use with subscribe users when PMDG write that at the aircraft specifications make it more realstic 

 

 

 

EFB in the 737ngx becuase the company which these pilots works at have the 737 ng with EFB onboard , and all of these pilots have subscribe for jeppesen EFB

 

Must be some budget airline if the pilots have to have their own subscription to Jeppview - somehow I don't buy it.

i'm not sure that the airliner which give the pilots subscribe to jeppesn EFB , but i am sure that all the boeing 737 ng they have with EFB becuase i enter the cockpit few times ago and always i see it , ( the airliner is EgyptAir )

The problem with programming an EFB on this aircraft for Jeppview will probably cause a delay in release (guessing month or two) and, like what has been said before, the majority of PMDG owners do not subscribe to Jeppesen There for there's no real requirement to program such a feature into these aircraft.

 

I for one do not subscribe to Jeppesen, and have no intention too due to cost (that probably applies to the majority of PMDG customers) and, should PMDG change their mind and go into programming this feature, they will loose a massive customer base who have been waiting years for this product to be completed, and I would be one of those!

 

I hate to say it, subscribed users of Jeppesen are a minority!

And no one does anything for the minority!

It's quite simple really. Jeppesen do not make products for flight simulator enthusiasts, their pricing reflects this fact. PMDG make products for flight simulator enthusiasts, their pricing reflects this fact.

 

Lets be clear about this, I don't know how you have access to Jeppview but if I wanted to buy the European IFR electronic charts it would cost me nearly 1,800 EUR. I think you'd be hard pushed to find a non-pilot subscribing to this service.

 

The two business models are different. Why should PMDG spend effort coding something that a minority of people will use that will erode their profits in the process?

 

I assume you will still get to use your Jeppview EFB by whatever method you currently do, I guess a tablet.

It was accepted as unworkable

not just by PMDG, but by the majority of us  the intended market.

Its not likely to be implemented now after yr post re Jepp.

just the way it is, sorry.

happy flying 

Guss.

:smile:

i also can,t wait to see the pmdg 777 in the store chris , if you say that the problem is that the users of the Jeppesen EFB are minority due to expensive price , so PMDG can program the EFB to open PDF files , i think it will be very easy to codic the EFB to open PDF files that we have pdf free charts across the internet , and PMDG can make that in next update to the product to to avoid the dealy of the product , and with that PMDG can active the EFB and save effort and make EFB function for many users by easy way

please think in my suggestion

Thank you

Navigraph offers an annual subscription for charts at a reasonable price.

 

Currently, they are only accessible through their own software (which is unfortunately not-so-much touch device friendly).

Would be cool to see them integrated into an EFB.

Jeppesen charts are expensive because if they contain inaccurate information then people could die, simple as that. They need to be constantly updated and that level of burden carries a high price tag.

 

One thing I could see happening is a tie up between Navigraph and PMDG to use their vastly cheaper sim charts in some form in an EFB. That would be pretty cool.

If you want to watch Charts on a EFB - Buy yourself a Notebook/IPad  etc (shouldnt be a factor when you can afford to buy jeppesen) and watch it on there. Way more handy/realistic than having to zoom in on a screen within the acutal screen...

 

Im not saying that there are features that would be handy (ACARS, Perromance calculations) - but charts? - please dont do that!

Hang on a sec. So you want PMDG to build an EFB for pilots who already have an EFB in the form of a tablet for the airline they fly? This isnt really a viable market!
