PMDG says market size is 1000 times larger because of MSFS

Might want to listen to the whole interview or my summary notes below where RSR touches on the topics of recent team expansion and future expansion etc (they do have multiple projects currently on the go)

Following from my comment above, I wonder if RSR recognises that getting the 777 and 747 out much quicker is now a better move. At some point, another dev will see that the 747 looks like it's at least 18 months away at current speed and think to themselves, we could launch our version in that timeframe.

Despite incurring further costs by hiring more developers, getting 100% of the market is a better prospect than being second and picking-up 50% at best. Three years after MSFS2020's release, it would be good from their perspective to have another product on the market. Unlike the crowded Airbus side of things, the market for Boeing add-ons looks rather open for the taking.

How? I'd be grateful if you could tell me how? Do I still have to enter weights etc into the FMC? Can I dismiss the external power and chocks from the EFB?

The moment you load your current Simbrief flight plan into the EFB it is also placed in the FP folder the FMS uses. Simply go to the route entry page in the FMS and select “load” FP. 

No at the present time you can’t control chocks, power cart etc from the EFB, nor load passengers or cargo - yet. Those functions will be coming in a future update.
