September 10, 201411 yr Hi. Have a couple of questions. I've been flying my NGX for a couple of months now, and I love it! I'm now plowing through the manuals so I can learn more about it. In Chapter 10 Section 65 (dont now wich file it is, sorry) it mentions Flight Instruments and EFB This Electronic Flight Bag seems awsome (there is also an Electronic Log Book), and the pic in the beginning of the chapter shows a there is a Display unit to the left of the Captain and to the right of the F/O How on earth can I activate it??? And the last question, there is a "map-holder" to the left of the captain and to the right of the F/O just below the side windows, I can even switch on the lights for it. Is it possible to put charts there in the sim? Thanks in advance. /Kalle
September 10, 201411 yr No and no... EFB not implemented and map holder is just part of the scenery. Dan Downs KCRP
September 11, 201411 yr Author Thanks. Ok. May I ask if anyone knows why the EFB is mentioned in the manual for PMDG 737 NGX if its not implemented in the aircraft. Or can I buy some addon to activate this?
September 11, 201411 yr Commercial Member May I ask if anyone knows why the EFB is mentioned in the manual for PMDG 737 NGX if its not implemented in the aircraft. ...because that manual is the real one, from the real plane, talking about the items available in the real plane. The only thing PMDG did was create the intro document and the tutorials. Kyle Rodgers
September 13, 201411 yr Yep. It's in our manuals too and we don't have the EFB. Nor ACARS, nor much else....The MAP chart board on the window sill is pretty crap as well. It's too narrow for the larger charts we have to use. Mark Harris. Aged 54. P3D, & DCS mostly. DofReality P6 platform partially customised and waiting for parts. Brunner CLS-E Yoke and Pedals.
