Probably around the $25-$30 mark, Chris. 

The purpose being that they reposted almost the same "update" with a little extra. "Taxi cameras now included" and "oh we hit a snag". Not much real information to give anyone a feel on the SP and the -300ER how close it is to release.

In that case, what is the purpose of your post..?

Maybe PMDG doesn`t want to take a risk on the EFB? What if they could not sell 900 copies of the B777X? Who is going to pay for the licensing fee? It would have to come out of their own pockets so why risk it?

Never mind all the other stuff an EFB does.  Are you saying PMDG would need to pay Navigraph/Jepp/whatever a licencing fee around $1300 just to include chart functionality on a display screen in one of their products?  So they had to pay a licencing fee to include a functioning FMC that could use Navigraph data?  This is the part I'm confused on the $1300 fee thing.  I know you can do maths but If PMDG sold only 900 all they'd need to do is charge an extra $2 per customer to make up for that fee.  Again, if it comes down to the user deciding to use the functionality and purchase a chart package from Navigraph/Jepp/etc. then that's our decision.  I don't see the problem if we're just dealing with a licencing fee unless it's a per year type of deal for PMDG. 

 

Is the issue being able to licence all the other things that are in the real world 777 EFB like performance data etc?  Now I'd understand that.  Then it might not even come down to a cost, but certain companies wanting that info in public.  Maybe.  Seems unlikely.  

 

Then the question would be why not just do an EFB-Mini and only create chart viewing functionality?  The answer is probably simple, and is that PMDG doesn't cut corners.  If they do something, they do it right.  

 

*ramble over*

Have we got potential price for this?

 

Since this is basicly a new model and not just a visual. I'dd say 40 ish buck

So they give a update and you still complain about no information given,  what else you want  them to tell you the release date?.  We all know that wont happen

I think he wants the daily schedule.
Who fixes what, how long it took, etc..

Thank you for your kind advise. So what is the actual update on the SP and the B777-300ER status? "Work goes on"? I guess that is needless to say.

Robert wrote 15 PARAGRAPHS detailing the current progress, going into depth on the taxi camera etc. What, exactly, do you want??

This is leading to nothing but sniping between people - shutting this down until we have something further to say on the topic.
