With Sim Brief you can create a flight plan in. But an EFb with moving maps etc., has to have a way to get the FPL into it's bag. Stefan, has already found out that the ATC clearance 'basic' flight plan from ProATC/X will get auto 'uplinked to EFB, so all good so far What aircraft does ProATC/X not support on FP export? it's about what an EFB should do and not what you think it should do.Ī few issues identified within the first week and they have been fixed by Urs VERY quickly, spot on, couldn't ask for more to be honest. So, not sure what is 'really' missing from EFB v2.0. The biggest issue, and again it has already been mentioned is the incorrectly displayed airport runways in certain situations, again this is something that could be fixed going forward. Tailwinds, headwinds already implemented, performance calculations again already implemented. TOD, TOC flight distance, already implemented. I'm currently in conversion with Urs, about EFB auto up-linking flightplans that have 'Pseudo waypoints' in them, so the future could be good on that point.Īirline parking, again already been mentioned in other threads will get implemented going forward. Now what EFB does currently is accept 'basic' flight plans from 3rd parties like ProATC/X which is a step forward and also provides 98% of the data that is required for a flight. Just want to add to 'Oskar's' post, EFB's are what they say on the tin an Electronic Flight Bag', and that is it will give you data for you flight, they are NOT a flightplanning tool at all, so why should EFB export flight plans? I can't repeat it often enough: EFB v2 is NO Flight Planning software. So again: why should EFB v2 also include this feature, if it is already present in many Flight Planning facilities? Most of those Routing Creation Programs offer export provisions for many different formats, some even simultaneously at one click. So why do you think EFB v2 seems to be obliged to provide this feature? As it has been previously mentioned, this must be in the hands (and it is!) of the numerous Flightplan (Routing) Creation programs and websites. Why is this funny idea still present, that there seems to be kind of an "obligation" for EFB v2 to offer export facilities for other Add-Ons Filghtplan (routings) format? I repeat it: EFB v2 is NO (and it never claimed to be) Flight Planning software! Would you ask any other Add-On manufacturer that offers an Add-On with it's owh Routing format to provide exporters for other Add-Ons (PMDG, FSL, Aerosoft, Majestic to name only a few)? No, of course you wouldn't. It furthermore allows direct loading (uplink) of Routings in formats such as *.txt, *.pln and holds it's own library of Company routes in *.efbr format. it is - as its name says - an Electronic Flight Bag containing all sorts of information to conduct a Flight AFTER the routing has been planned.ĮFB v2 is a piece of software which uses it's own Flightplan (routing) format like many other Simulator Add-On do. But the initial statement is this:ĮFB v2 is NO (and it never claimed to be) Flight Planning software! Although it has limited planning capabilities for short flights, it is NO Flight Planning software. Simulation has greatly developed and improved over the last few years, also in tems of Add-Ons and free websites for all kind of Route planning. I know, many of you use the argument "that they were present in v1". Gentlemen, let's conclude this discussion about exporters : There are none for a few reasons. They have a huge following and get a decent price for their products, deservedly so, like urs & company. The flight dynamics come from Boing engineering. PMDG IMHO is the premier Aircraft on the market. I have a great deal of respect for urs & team, however, having sat on a few boards I can tell you it could be a poor marketing decision. Your right, the PMDG FMS-FMC will only allow. pln Flightplans and Export as *.rte like the old Version would be great. I would be very happy, when EFB 2 could be used by leisure pilots like me. For Flightplan Planing and Import/Export to a FMC is only with a second (payable) Tool possible. In EFB 2 there is no simple function like that. Why i love EFB 1? - A simple generated Flightplan by PRO-ATC X can be easily imported to EFB and also generated as *.rte for the PMDG FMC. When you develop EFB for Profi-Pilots or Flight-Students in education - it´s OK.īut it should also have the simple functionalitys for leisure Pilots who don´t want to make complex Flightplanings in PFPX with all the 1000 Parameters. Flying around the world is for me just for leisure activities.
