Planes with tablet EFBs?

Anyone have a list of planes that have an in-cockpit tablet EFB that works in VR?

Been curious myself as to why some have and some don’t.

At least every airplane has the EBF popout menu that doesn’t currently work.

I checked most of the GA airplanes and copters, and found the in-cockpit tablet in these: Beaver, Chinook, Cessna 172, Caravan (G1000), X-cub, Skycrane, Cabri G2, and Airbus H125. I didn’t check the airliners, since I don’t fly those.

Thanks for the list! The EFB would probably be hard to miss.

I’m looking forward to the popout EFB working. Given VR readability issues that would probably be my preferred way to use.

To add: the Dornier Seastar has one built in that works in VR.

You know I love a good list! So I have added a column for EFB IN COCKPIT to my sheet and started to fill this out - as a community we can get it done sooner!

SDK has a section on adding 3D tablet EFB to an aircraft.

The file is attached_objects.cfg and I can see it in some aircraft in the “StreamPackages” (though it’s empty). I wonder if it’s possible to write a small mod do attach it to an available node of the stock aircraft, something like VRPropMod does overriding stock prop textures. But this would attach the 3d tablet to existing aircraft. I’m not an expert in aircraft modeling, I do scenery. So not sure if it’s possible or not. Would be nice though. The attachment node may not be there, but if any node could be used, it can be attached to it and an offset made to place it where it should be.
