I think the thread is about a 737 update. 

Yeah I know but the 737 updates are kind of stale at the moment. No substance at all.

I wonder if that's that for 2023 from them...

agree. just did a first quick flight and I guess it worked. "guess" only since there are some clicks required, RTE, payload and fuel I found, not sure about PERF INIT but maybe that populated itself? need to check better next time, so far so good and I loaded safely at ENML

For what its worth, I actually like the PMDG EFB.  It basic but it does what I need it to do without frilly bits which I don't really need.

I think its a great enhancement to the aircraft in general.  With all the drama that preceded its launch and soon after, I thought to myself, 'do I really need it anyway'?  Now I wouldn't do without it.

I seem to be living in an alternative world.  I think that the PMDG 737 is fantastic and the new tablet is great, particularly with the new update.

I used the EFB after the update last night and everything worked great.

GSX has that already in their custom based PMDG profile. So, I see a bit of redundancy.

TO/LNDG speed calculator is nice. Everything (charts/OFP) else I have on my Ipad

RTE and PERF INIT uplinks have nothing to do with GSX. It also doesn't actually load payload and fuel into the airplane or has this changed?

GSX automatically load and refuel a plane assuming that correct Simbrief OFP is being detected.

It isn't redundant if you don't have GSX, which many including myself don't have. I did in P3D and vowed never to buy it again.

I still prefer the PMDG enhancement.  I want bare minimum GSX input to anything other than a pushback thx.
