I've read some wild things on Avsim before, but this one might take the cake. No, just because a plane has an FMC or GPS doesn't mean there will be an MFD "with the path". A lot of time those are paired with an analog HSI. The older 146's indeed only had one FMC and it was paired with an HSI. 

I suggest you do research before coming on here making up nonsense. 

Haha incredible, you have an FMC only bounded to the HSI like old INS´s, though you don´t know what it is doing and can´t check if the route is correct etc., wau, only trust in and pray, safe flights, and here the people very happy and defending that, haha, nonsense at all, crazy, all for you, better go back to VOR to VOR or INS. This is the cake winner if that is true. Maybe is true, but almost can believe it that exists and is permitted in real live nowadays or in the past.

The most normal, an FMC without an MFD, first time I know that.

One review I saw said that if you already own an IPhone 12 or IPhone 13, there really isn’t a point in getting the new IPhone 14.

But... it's one number higher, so it's gotta be better! <snark> 🤑

Aerobask is pretty much glued to XPlane and they are a team that I will miss should the declining trend not level off. From what I understand, they are reluctant to make the cross platform move. 

IMHO Aerobask are somehow between a rock and a hard place. In XP, they have their reputation and followers, but in MSFS they would only be another group doing GA planes and small jets. I can see how it is difficult for them, but ultimately, it might turn out unwise not to make the move.

I also think this is where lessons from Blackberry comes in. The app developers that were loyal to Blackberry to the very end risked going bankrupt at some point. You either adapt to the market, or you face bankruptcy. The smart Blackberry app developers that saw the writing on the wall, either jumped ship to IPhone, or jumped ship to Android early on.  Unless Aerobask has commercial customers or some other type of financial backing, they probably won't be able to pay their bills or their employees at some point.

On the P3D side, I get the feeling that FSLabs has a similar attitude to Aerobask.  I genuinely think FSLabs wanted to stay on P3D forever. But the market forced FSLabs to adapt (albeit, FSLabs is still very slow to adapt, losing to the Fenix team in MSFS for the release of the A320).

The opposite of Aerobask is iniBuilds. inIBuilds saw the market changing and didn't wait. They made the move earlier and I think iniBuilds will have a much prosperous future than Aerobask will in the consumer market space, IMO.
