Black Square Tablet Features
-
Hey Nick
Just love your addons. High quality paired with real innovation. One question I had in mind for quite a time now is: would it be possible to expand the tablet-features with Navigraph-capability? That IMHO would close a gap and would be just gorgeous for us VR-pilots. Is there anything planned in this direction?
Best regards

Thank you so much! This has been discussed here many times before. I would also love to add this feature. I approached Navigraph at Flight Sim Expo last year to ask if I could access their SDK and examples of how to set up a Navigraph interface. I was told that there was no such thing, and that I would have to figure it out myself, and maybe to go talk to PMDG at their booth. I was really surprised, because I would have thought it was in their best interest to make the process as easy as possible for aircraft developers. I don't think it's that difficult if you're an experienced web developer, but that's definitely not where my talents lie. I continue to want this feature too, so I will keep my eyes out for anyone who is that experienced web developer who might be able to guide me in the process.

Just my 2cents on this.
I know some other developers have done this like FlightFX with the HondaJet and the VisionJet. The Piper Turbo Arrow also have Navigraph and Simbreif in the tablet which was suprising.
I know other do as well in smaller GA aircraft and as someone who is on Xbox this is amazing as we do not have the add ons that PC users to do allow for a pop out or things like that.The other thing to consider would be developing a stand alone pop-out for Navigraph/Simbreif for the marketplace. Similar to what PMS50 just did with the GTN750. Xbox users can now use a pop-out GTN750 like the PC users do. One of the reasons I love this so much is that it now, for the most part, allows every aircraft to have Navigraph and Simbrief intigration through the pop-out unit.
Just food for thought.
