It says version 07JAN11.

I think Jason actually did try to pick a date with extremely bad weather.

I have no proprietary information but if you think it through it has to happen in a year to 18 months. It's not too difficult software-wise to overlay an HUD on the FSX exterior view. It's not trivial but an advanced graphics coder could do it. Also it's pretty sexy as far as getting marketing points. And it's got a wide open field with very little competition on non-PMDG aircraft.

Someday soon this will be available in PMDG's HUD and for any aircraft using FSX via an add-on.

I don't think FCOM is saying that the NAV radios are automatically tuned to the approach in the FMC. Ii is saying that the aircraft's position is obtained in some cases from DME radios which are tuned to the strongest signal which may or may not be the ILS transmitter. The referenced FCOM pages don't say that the NAV radios are automatically tuned.

In FSX when you assign a button to a function, there is a slider on the right hand side that allows you to make the button action be repeating.

I've done lots of autolands with neither of the EFIS selections set to APP. Actually I almost never set the EFIS to APP mode.

My two cents worth: Adding CDU data to the SDK input and output functionality will be very useful. However I seriously doubt that PMDG will be doing this so that it will be available as USB signals. That would require the SDK contain a USB driver which is a formidable task. Also a USB driver is outside of what I think PMDG's business should be. They have excellent aircraft physics engines and cockpit and external views. And they have provided "hooks" to the plane's data with the SDK. It's up to others to interface the SDK data to hardware, e.g. via a USB driver.

No progress yet because I haven't received my Sismo hardware. It's about 3-4 weeks away. I'm getting the DST casing and most of the instruments and gauges except for a few FO things and clocks. I imagine it's going to be a trial and error process but I plan on using FSUIPC and there's a pretty active help community on their forum. Lets stay in touch as we go thru this together maybe we can help ease the pain.

Has anyone had experience in connecting any of the Sismo hardware using the PMDG SDK and FSUIPC? I'm getting some Sismo hardware in a few weeks and want to start thinking about the software configurations and could use any suggestions that others have who have been down that path.

I've done this several times and it never works very well. But on the other hand what do you have to loose? If you are going to get a larger HD, might as well try to clone the old one, if it doesn't work then you can re-install. Many hard drive manufacturers have utility programs on their web sites that do the cloning.

It isn't in the start menu. It's in a subfolder, I think documentation

Cycle hidden hides that particular view when you cycle thru the views with the A key

I believe there is a C++ VS2010 project in the PMDG SDK. Also this link may help http://forum.simflight.com/topic/71035-pmdg-ngx-sdk/page__st__80

When did I post that they will release EFB in 777? I said "newer aircraft" and this was said at Aerosoft Convention. by PMDG CEO in Munich in late March.
