Over at the PMDG forum, a couple days ago Randazzo posted a new update for the DC-6, below he also said: ‘We are also beginning to map out unveiling our next release for MSFS… Exciting times ahead!’ We may very well see the 737 announced this month or the next

Yeah I don’t get the fuss over no EFB when most of the features are currently available in the FMS. The EFB just look nicer but in no way is required for anything. Shouldn’t people be focusing on the flight dynamics / real world functions / model accuracy / etc. over a fake tablet in the cockpit? I’…

That’s great that you are happy with the status quo. Enjoy flying this sim, it’s truly a great one. However, your points are irrelevant. It really comes down to a single issue. I paid for this sim, PMDG promised they would provide an EFB. Therefore, I want the EFB (and all the other features …

To your point. The EFB also makes things a lot easier. Having to scroll through 40 pages of settings in the FMC to change a setting is certainly not what I have to do in any other airplane.

I fly out of a high altitude airport (SPZO) from time to time and I have difficulty figuring out flap settings and if I have enough runway length for a particular gross weight. The EFB would help with that, I would think.

FMC, you don’t need to navigate 40 pages to fly, and each livery airliner you fly is accurate. I still don’t understand whether weight is in KG/LBS, ColINS/honeywell MCP, and other systems (I’m currently learning). This allows you to switch from one class to two classes. These 40 pages provide me wi…

The settings in the FMC is like 12 pages for the important cockpit/flight stuff. Most of that stuff is preset by the livery you’re using. You MIGHT need to change the cost index and or accel height. FMC in totality I can run up a flight from game load to push in less than 10 minutes. The import win…

I like your dog pic. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

For single engine taxi in, do I just wait 3 mins for cooling then the fuel cut-off switch to shut engine down? No other procedures needed? APU need to be on?

I think, based on prior discussion the last time this came up, that per the Boeing FCOM, the 3 minute cool-down time can include taxi time, so long as the taxi is < 30% throttle. As for whether the APU must be on, that’s probably carrier- and airport-dependent. Most of the time, I think you’d want…
