===''Third-Party'' EFB Software=== | |||
The Electronic Flight Bag is also meant to provide and interface third-party and/or operating airline softwares. These are not present in the Flight Management Computer by default but we're working on a couple of ''softwares'' for the EFB. This is not ''unrealistic'' because this is one of the main purposes of the Electronic Flight Bag. Here're the ''softwares'' we're working on for the EFB. | |||
====FGFSCopilot Logger==== | |||
The [[FGFSCopilot]] is a java program that can do almost everything required from taking off till landing the plane at your destination. The Boeing 787-8 has an FGFSCopilot Log page in the EFB which shows it's connection status and every log message the FGFSCopilot sends to FlightGear. | |||
====VNAV Automatic Altitudes Generator==== | |||
The VNAV AutoGen is a third party software on the EFB that automatically calculates ideal vnav altitudes for the active route. To use it, simply create/load a flightplan, copy it to the active route, go to the VNAV Altitudes Gen page on the EFB and click on ''AUTOGEN >''. That would generate altitudes for you which're displayed on the EFB. You can scroll through the waypoints using ''SCROLL UP >'' and ''SCROLL DOWN >''. Finally, if you're happy with the automatically generated altitudes, click on ''COPY TO RTE >'' to move them to the active route. | |||

On the other hand, we're working on a new advanced dual control system which allows the copilot to completely control the aircraft and see all instruments over multiplayer. | On the other hand, we're working on a new advanced dual control system which allows the copilot to completely control the aircraft and see all instruments over multiplayer. | ||
