The 650Xi is also included?

Also, I am wondering, why they are able to release such a product, the 750xi, and not Reality-XP

Nice, I will wait for it to be integrated on the DC-6

I hope it can be integrated in the justflight piper planes and the H145! Also would like to know if the navdb can be easily updatable?

Is there a list of aircraft models where this currently integrates in the VC?

Ask PMDG if they'll consider it.  I believe there is an SDK from TDS which would allow them to easily integrate it.

Any one know if we can update the nav data ?

It's Garmin trainer.  So it's from Garmin or Jepp.

I can tell you though, as a pilot and air traffic controller who's always looking at new data - that very little items actually change each cycle.  Usually it's just the procedure name or number.

iirc the nav cycle came from the Garmin trainer which was usually updated every 6 months (approx). You could buy the nav data from Garmin directly but I'm pretty sure it's obscenely expensive.

Am I missing something here? In the linked video, from around 0:25 to 0:35 it appears that this product is being demonstrated in the Carenado Mooney, yet there is no mention of this aircraft on the website. Can this be installed into the Carenado as can the pms50 version?

The real problem for me is the lack of updating capability. While I agree completely that these changes go slowly, they also add up over time, especially in areas like the northeastern US where the FAA seems focused on removing VOR stations. Others may feel differently, but that's just one old guy's opinion.

As the cockpit integration is so new to this product we'll have to patient for it to be integrated into the Carenado fleet.  I'm not affiliated with TDS I'm just saying this as an old RXP/F1 (and now TDS) customer.  I recall these integrations didn't happen overnight hehe.
