September 12, 20232 yr In one of the videos of a full flight in the 777 I noticed that there was an EFB available, but the 777 200 LR base I own for P3D and have now installed in v6 doesn't have it available ? Is it only added when one buys one of the modern 737s with EFB ?

Thanks guys, and it's probably the 200ER missing because I do not have that options, at least that I could find it, in the FMC PMDG menus 😕 Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Electronic Flight Bag with Navigraph Integration.

September 12, 20232 yr I do not use EFB at all, I pref. programming everything via the FMC and done. My opinion.
September 12, 20232 yr Author I had the 200ER expansion for fsx, and later bought the base 777 for p3d, but it's too expensive now. I am on p3dv6 and will stick with it, waiting for any conversions / migrations to be offered. Maybe PMDG decides to make it cheaper for owners of the new "Personal" license.

My good friend I don’t want to discourage anyone but IMHO we have a better chance of being trampled by a herd of unicorns then seeing PMDG do anything more for us P3D customers. If you ask on their forum you will be somewhere between politely ignored or scolded by one of the fan boys. Just my experience as of late. They have pretty much gone to the MSFS. Sorry for my pessimism. Vic green

Sorry for my pessimism. I have my theory about that, and the future of other developers moving into MFS that way... but that's a different and unrelated story and what matters, at least to me, is that I am enjoying p3dv6 already more than I did the other 2 Sims in the last 2 years...

Agree 77 bucks for an unsupported software expansion is a bit too pricey for me
