Wind Data aka 777 style? ;)

[ESGG 4]

There is a possibly to set the cruise wind in the init page (supose it should be the expected overage wind on route), is the FMC using that info for anything or is it just a "dummy" in the present version then?

That wind is for initial calc of performance, fuel, arrival time, etc., but it won't be as accurate as what the wind uplink can provide.

Wind data also known as 777 style...? Hmm...sounds like an unnecessary acronym got in there...

 

Anyway, as far as I know the 737 is data uplink capable.  As such, it could be realistic to simulate it.  I can't remember if anyone mentioned whether it would be in the SP2 for the NGX, though.

Highly likely SP2 will have it among other enhancements the 777 has.

737 is data uplink capable.

Is the data uplink feature planned for the 737NGX?

Do you have more info?

I would really like to see this in the 737NGX!

 

Kind regards Robert

Would be nice with ACARS to  :rolleyes: How awesome wouldn't it be if it worked with TOPCAT? And it would be nice to be able to use CPDLC.

What Ryan said.

 

Honestly, the next wave of NGX updates are pretty far out, as we're really working hard on the 744/8 and DC6. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
