Hi , 

 

I just saw the air canada dvd from Toronto to Narita and there was a position report feature included in the ecl  so they could upload all the info to dispatch or ATC.

Could something like this this being  implemented in a future service pack wich makes a file and exports it to google earth or something with all the information , fuel , flightlevel , time , speed etc , so that the flight will be visible in google earth  , something like  what the aerosoft airbus is having  .

 

Best regards ,

First off, what you saw isn't part of the ECL. What you saw is what is displayed when the COMM button the DSP is selected. Therefore, it is not part of the ECL (as ECL is pulled up by the CHKL button). It is the CPDLC/ACARS page (CPDLC includes ATC COMM bla bla bla etc.)

 

Anyway, their have been plenty of threads regarding the implementation of CPDLC/ACARS into the 777. They have advised us that they are interested, but just not sure if/when it would be added and what it would be interfaced with in regards to other software (Hoppies, new VATSIM pilot client etc.)

 

If you wan't your flight displayed on GoogleEarth, there is no need for this feature for you to do so. Just get an external 3rd party program like FS Flight Keeper.
