I did a quick search of the forums here and did not find any information so please forgive me if this has already been answered elsewhere. Is there going to be a version for the soon to be released PMDG 747-8? Besides the usual FMC functionality that new EFB looks like a prime candidate for Remote CDU. I can’t be the only one thinking this way. 🙂

The remote CDUs connected right up and seem to work just fine with the -8.

The EFB...that, I think, would be a real challenge, since you'd have to pretty much stream the whole screen bitmap down to the remote device, rather than just a relative few text characters.

Is there any way to get the FMC in the -8 looking like the newer FMC that looks more like the 777 FMC?

Mine is still using the old green screen version.

Aren't we in this business because we like challenges? 🙂

And no - this is not a confirmation that something is being worked on.

Not at this point.

Hi Mark,
