747 books removed from shop

PMDG used to sell a bunch of books like the FCOM and FCTM. Do they plan to release them for sale again?

I don't believe so. Think there were copyright issues or something if I remember right. Also why you can't print them out.

Or just download them on your tablet.

Because they are copy protected Kevin, all of the current products that is. I'll open a document on via a shared folder on my home network and use a second screen for reading, annotating flight plan, browsing etc.  Tablets work too.

The last product to have bound sets available was the NGX and then binding/printing costs went way way up and licensing fees added to the clear message that this feature had to be retired, according to PMDG back then.

I believe that is what I said.

I had FS9 PMDG 747-400 that came with a full manual I printed but I think that was a PMDG constructed manual and I still have it, not an official BOEING doc I may be corrected on this.

Correct, those were PMDG documents.  The current family including 737/747/777 have Boeing licensed documentation.  The JS41 and DC6 are PMDG documents derived from originals.

Still good and valid reads for the QOS2.

Correct, both versions represent the same aircraft, one a bit more detailed and indepth that the other...

Procedures should be the same.
