February 25, 20233 yr I can't wait for the EFB to be released so every new PMDG thread can stop derailing into a "I WANT AN EFB" or "WHERE IS THE EFB" topic.

It needs an EFB for two reasons: 1.) I will suggest that 90%+ of ATP flight operated today anywhere in the World has at least ONE EFB on board. Not researched but I suspect my suspicions are pretty close to real, and 2.) Because PMDG already offers EFBs in the existing current P3d product line so they must have seen a reason. That reason alone compels PMDG to get off the dime and at least deliver some specs/images of their current vision. -B Edited February 25, 20233 yr by btacon

Hopefully I won't have to spend my time trawling though 500 menus and options on the FMC just to set Kgs instead of lbs. I STILL can't remember where the hell the setting is.

I don't see any big mystery why we want an efb. 1. Ability to calculate Takeoff Speeds/Perf data at various weights. And intersection departures. 2. Ability to use charts in the flight deck. It's more immersive that way. Same reason many of us buy hardware to do things like in the real airplane so we don't have to use mouse/keyboard. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

I use Avliasoft EFB for all my charts, so that is something I would have no use for.

Not for intersection departures it doesn't. Like many I prefer the efb regardless. I recognize you may not have a need for an efb. But it's odd to me that you cannot understand why others have the desire. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
