June 2, 201412 yr Would it be possible to show a video or something about the Data Uplink? Weston Hall
June 2, 201412 yr Commercial Member Would it be possible to show a video or something about the Data Uplink? I can probably record one later tonight. There's not much to it. It's not ACARS weather or CPDLC like a lot of people are thinking. It's just an easier way of loading perf/route/weather data. Pretty simple. Pretty cool, as well, but I wouldn't personally find it too interesting in video form. In any case, if it's being asked for... Kyle Rodgers

June 2, 201412 yr Commercial Member Could you please make a short vid on it Kyle ? What are you guys looking to see, exactly? It's pretty much a "press button, get banana" system. It's not too complex or interesting. It's neat, and will save a ton of time, but there's not a whole lot to show. Kyle Rodgers
June 2, 201412 yr Hey Kyle, can you let us in on what format the data needs to be in, especially the performance data? And I assume that the data will need to be in a specific folder, just like the wind data?

June 2, 201412 yr Commercial Member Just show us what it does i suppose haha Press line select key for REQUEST. *DING* Data's prefetched... haha Okay, I'll just go do it. Despite my protestations, like I said, it's a really cool feature. I just think it'll make for a really boring video. Kyle Rodgers
June 2, 201412 yr Kyle, don't worry about it. At this point, any video from many beta tester will do regardless of how boring it is. David Zambrano, CFII, CPL, IGI I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.
June 2, 201412 yr Take your time, Kyle. I've seen videos of buttons and bananas before. :lol: What happened to AVSIM
June 2, 201412 yr Hi, Sorry to "hack" :blush: this post. If it's too bad, please simply ignore this. I have a little question too for the beta-testers / Kyle: what are the origin and destination airports of tutorial #2 which as I understand will depict an ETOP flight. The reason why I ask is that I want to be ready by having the right addons sceneries when the SP1 is released.

Ryan replied that he wasn't sure if people would want such a long tutorial straight off. He of little faith!!!! Lol Tony Simpson FLYING FROM EGKK, The worlds busiest single runway Airport.

He of little faith!!!! Lol What's the shortest flight that requires ETOPS? KLAX-PHNL perhaps? I would like to do NZAA-NCRG (Rarotonga) which is also ETOPS. Wes Meyer
June 3, 201412 yr Don't forget to airbrush it, just like the magazines do with bikini model pictures!!! :lol: Matthew Bellette
June 3, 201412 yr Commercial Member Kyle, don't worry about it. At this point, any video from many beta tester will do regardless of how boring it is. Fair. I just scratch my head sometimes because I don't understand what people are expecting. If I know, then I can speak to it, but with such a simple function (simple, not to mean unimportant or uninteresting), I just didn't quite see the draw to have it put in a video. Hey Kyle, can you let us in on what format the data needs to be in, especially the performance data? And I assume that the data will need to be in a specific folder, just like the wind data? This is explained in the video, but just to make it clearer: The performance data is read internally - no external files are read for this data (it simply pulls from the known data - it knows it from the FS ACTIONS pages, obviously). The wind data is exactly the same as the feature you see out there right now. The format is the same, the location is the same. If you have PFPX or ASN, it'll do all of that behind the scenes for you. I believe the DES FORECAST values come from the same wind file (regardless of what generates the PMDG-compatible wind file) Kyle Rodgers
June 3, 201412 yr NO Kyle... your next video will be named; "A visual manual on how to read the manuals".... :LMAO: - Luke Pabari
