Black Square Tablet Features

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.

Hi,

This topic is already a bit older, but since I recently purchased the Baron Professional, I am still interested in it.

Is there any news on this topic, as the integrated NAVIGRAPH VFR charts would be very practical and immersive?

Of course, you can use the NAVIRAPH in-game panel, but it's not very immersive.

I saw in a video that A2A solved the integration issue by integrating their own tablet only as an app in the Simulartor tablet and placing the Simulator tablet as an overlay in the EFB.

Perhaps that would be a solution? The MSFS 2024 EFB already includes NAVIGRAPH charts, etc. I think many people would be satisfied with this solution.

I actually just bought the A2a Aerostar yesterday - largely to check out their tablet interface and engine stuff (plus I drooled over one that the FAA examiner that did my instrument check ride owned while we were doing the oral portion lol). Their tablet interface is great Love being able to attach the tablet to the yoke in VR - adds a lot to the immersion. Everything from the MSFS efb is able to come up on it as well including Navigraph and the SayIntentions App.

@MiRexer
Exactly,
that's why I think it could be a very good solution.

Would be cool to see @Black-Square 's opinion on this.

I also like how A2A made their Comanche and Aerostar apps part of the MSFS EFB. I think that is the way, use the MSFS EFB with all the apps it already contains, than trying to bring just a subset of other apps like Navigraph to a custom tablet.

MiRexer

But also that they then wrapped the entire MSFS efb in a wrapper that's a real 3d tablet in VR - not a floating window like the default MSFS efb

@Black-Square,
so nothing new on the EFB-Tablet-Side?

@Black-Square Would it be possible to integrate your tablet as an "app" in the 2024 EFB?

Like how A2A has done with theirs?

AlpraziTech

@KAPA-Flyer I would really appreciate this integration.

I just want to chime in and say I personally like the tablet outside of the default msfs tablet. I don't want to have to rummage between different pages all the time and it sounds like a lot of work for little benefit.
