What's up community, 

I have one question before I buy this bird, 

-Will PMDG include data for derated take off? Will it be implemented in the EFB?If so when? 

I read throughout the forum and someone suggested that PMDG isn't planning on doing so. 

If any of you chaps knows the answer please share it with others that hesitate buying this bird because of this problem. 

It is coming but we don’t know when as the data isn’t readily available.

Ok thanks,

Let's hope that this won't end up like 200ER promise since performance for 747-8 are more important.

Is it? I thought that this was the data, which was insanely expensive?
(or what that some other thing?) 🙂

Never mind... found an answer here from Michael from PMDG.
(apparently it is going to be implemented - at some point...)

yes, that's correct. However it relates to the digitally delivered "ready to use" data by Boeing. This was those 400.000$ p.a. However PMDG has the raw data available but has to write it into the EFB manually and this takes quite a bit of time.

I honestly don't think so. They know very well that this is one of the most important features of the 748.
