Flying into an airport, and ATC gives you approach, star and transition, and then a wind shift occurs, which requires a new runway, and approach. This is real life flying. Try that , single pilot, juggling a bunch of charts and approaches. 

I don't think ATC will let everyone solve a sudden wind shift on their own. Or isn't that what you are implying?

It is no longer supported or updated, and for anyone keeping up with the times, it either won’t be usable soon or already isn’t compatible with the latest simulators and add-ons.

It isn't supported but there are enough users to help anyone needing assistance. The core program was finalised many years ago. It requires no updating other than Navigraph data.

Not everyone is using 2024. Many are happy with 2020, P3D and XP.

Your comparison is laughable.

And this isn't only the case in real life. In the MSFS2024 I let BATC tell me which procedures to use and then I can load all the assigned procedures I entered into the G3000 into the MSFS2024 EFB with just one click which automatically shows me all (and only!) the relevant charts. No need to juggle with anything. It's not realistic to figure out procedures on your own anyway.

How is that done in the A320, 737, and 777, which is what I fly?

You mean how pilots select the charts in those planes? I'd presume they all use EFB's now and that this can be done easily and quickly but I really don't know how this actually works IRL. But I don't expect pilots to juggle through loads of paper charts to figure out which procedure they have to use after a wind shift. That's the job of ATC (assigning everyone the proper procedure).

Exactly, they use an EFB, which is what Avliasoft does.  Bingo, you win the prize.....😁

And that's what I do too, with the MSFS2024 EFB. Not entirely sure what I won the prize for, haha! The only reason I joined this topic was to say that MSFS2024 offers by default, out of the box, a lot (if not most or even all) of what the Aivlasoft EFB offers. So for those who enjoy the Aivlasoft EFB and want to move to MSFS2024: it isn't all bad! A lot of things they were used to can be found in MSFS2024.

Now where can I collect my prize!?!?! 😎

That’s borderline disrespectful, but I’ll bite.

Can you retrieve PFPX flight plans via datalink in modern add-ons without navigating through menus and complicated folder structures?

Is TOPCAT accessible on an external or integrated tablet with uplink functionality to the FMS? Can you add new aircraft types to it?

Can you seamlessly integrate Aivlasoft’s charts into the avionics of modern GA aircraft for a truly immersive IFR experience?

Can you access any of those tools in VR?

I suppose if someone is running a limited number of add-ons in an even more limited sim, then relying on end-of-life utilities shouldn’t be a problem.

I create new plans in PFPX using current wx. No need to use old ones which are discarded after use. Exported to my NAS box from where they can be imported on my FS PC and the one running EFB.

It’s accessible on a laptop. No but I have all the types I need.

Yes with the Vertx DA-62.

As I don’t fly in VR it’s irrelevant.

Put down the software of my choice all you like. Water off a duck’s back.

Bob,

Why would you start a thread on a flight planner, when you know that the PMDG aircraft don't work with MSFS 2024? Then say that your sticking with 2020 if the Avilasoft FP doesn't work?

Thank you. I had to learn more about this planner all because of you. 😄

Wondering if anyone has been able to get this EFB to work with FS2024. If it only works with 2020, I guess I will be staying with 2020.

Come on Bob, I am also still using predominantly 2020 for my PMDG birds but it seems you are cherry picking things that don't work or aren't supported anymore as justification for NOT moving to 2024 when reading your posts since November leaves very little question as to the sincerity of your potential move...

Just myself personally but I don't believe for a second you were moving even if this was supported which was validated when someone told you how they use the default EFB in 2024 and you responded with

So even if this EFB was supported your next response confirmed you were never serious about moving, when someone suggested it you came up with PMDG as your "next" blocker...

Sorry if I don't believe this was a genuine attempt to get you into 2024 but more of "another reason" not to...
