couple of n00b questions from me:
 

1. Is the integration with Simbrief limited to be able to see all charts associated with the airport? I can only see Airport Terminal chart?
2. What is going on with the bird rolling down the taxiway with the throttle at idle? Is that a normal MAX behavior? Not used to it with the 738. 

- You’ve got full access to all the charts via Navigraph. There is also a ground map display but it’s less useful than the proper charts of course. 
- According to those who fly it, the MAX will start rolling at idle so that is correct. 

@bennyboy75 I am unable to see any charts in the EFB other than the airport chart. No SID/STAR charts, nothing.

I have the same issue, the Airport Terminal Chart loads up fine, but the Navigraph charts get stuck at "Loading Chart".

 

Hmm that’s weird. Might be worth a reinstall?

Already tried doing that twice. Not sure if it is a common issue or only a few of us having it.

It made you do the whole sign in the browser workflow? You were able to sucessfully sign in?

Yes it did went through the Navigraph linking process via the browser and I have full access to unlimited Navigraph charts. I can even see that Ifly 737 (shows as iFly NG- Other) is linked under my Navigraph account.

Charts work fine for me too. Not sure what could be the issue.

So when shud I start the plugin then… ?? Thanks for your reply 

If everything is setup correctly, the plugin will start automatically when you start a flight. 

Any idea on when that next update they mentioned was going to the beta team might drop for us lowly end users?

I am not used to using this EFB, didn't realize you have to drill deep and clip the needed charts to the main terminal charts screen. I'm all set and figured it out.

Ohhh yeah.  There are several reasons we are highly encouraged to use single engine taxi in Maxs, and this is one of them - eats brakes slower.  Because yeah, breakaway thrust is usually idle.  If you're heavy you'll need a little power to start moving, and then you'll wish for less than both engines at idle because you'll just continue to accelerate.

Interesting. The -9 do that too or are you at an -8 only operator?

Most of my Max time is in the -9.  I think we have three -8s now... Boeing's delivery delays are hurting lol.  So yeah, this is true on the -9 as well.  It's just more exaggerated on the -8.

I kinda figured that would be the case, thanks!
