TheCalVRsimer 0 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Being one of those person who only flies in VR, I was wondering if it was crazy to hope that one day we will be able to access all of our charts from the EFB? Thanks for any insights on the matter! In VR the mouse pointer does not line up properly on the EFB, could this be fixed as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCalVRsimer 0 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 I saw a topic in the FAQ dated March 11, explaining why it was not possible then, have things changed or can we hope they will to allow this amazing feature for VR and none VR pilots?

Blood_Monarch 7 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 With Navigraph charts available from the in game tool bar, in a window you can resize and move anywhere, i'm not really sure why you want it on the EFB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because in the P3d version integration of Navigraph Charts is available and as far as in the MSFS 2020 platform, no reason why it cannot be done as others (CJ4 / FBW a320) have implemented such integration. That’s why, -b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is a reason this currently cannot be done -- unlike the other aircraft you mentioned, the CRJ is coded using WebAssembly and I believe the SDK currently doesn't permit the remote calls needed to access external services. Aerosoft has already said a bunch of times that this is something they'd like to add if the SDK changes to allow this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabby 28 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 In a world where a lot of folks are, in my opinion, foolishly chasing frame rates, some things are better left done on another device like a tablet, phone or laptop. It's all about pixels and I would not recommend implementing something that does not offer a true benefit. In real life pilots carry their company issued Ipads or what have you on board and they are not an integrated part of the system. In the sim world, the EFB's in cockpits are really just a glorified method of getting fuel and weight on an aircraft. Slick yes, but trying to turn them into fully functional EFB's is a recipe for frame rate and performance disaster. I have tried both and I find that having my charts on a laptop next to my main screen is actually more realistic as I turn my head to see my EFB data and then turn it back to look outside. I would rather have an option to have the entire EFB on my external device and remove it from the cockpit view entirely. A remote EFB over the network if you will.

Deputy Sheriffs Herman 1591 Posted January 2, 2022 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 2, 2022 "Size matters." Anything on an in-cockpit EFB is going to be too tiny to use effectively no matter how many screens you have. And if it's window on a multimonitor setup, it costs frames. As Mark notes, "It's all about pixels." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesOReilly 314 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The P3D CRJ had DAVE running via AviaCDU externally I miss that in the MSFS version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do too, it is however not possible at this very moment. We are keeping an eye on it however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
