/images/notams/notams18/pmdg0609/pmdg-logo.jpgAt FlightSimExpo PMDG made a greatly anticipated anouncement about anew product intended to change the flightsim world environment. "Global Flight Operations" will provide a flightsim world that is persistant.Aircraft within the world will have a history of use, repair, damage, etc.and the plane you fly will reflect that history. /images/notams/notams18/pmdg0609/pmdg-2.jpgThe PMDG Operations Center will provide a realistic ACARS system much likethe real world uses. You'd start by logging into this system and would Pick a planePick your liveryPick your simPick your weather sourceOnce you check the plane out it becomes "yours" and no one else can use itwith the system until you are done with it. During your flight you would use ACARS just like real planes do both toget information and to report your status. On arrival, the system wouldfind a gate appropriate to your aircraft and direct you there. The actual ACARS radio network has been modeled so you must be withinthe service volume to get service. Satellite and ground service ismodeled. /images/notams/notams18/pmdg0609/pmdg-1.jpgVirtual airlines can have their own environment, with data fortheir users only. After the flight, you have options: Check in the airplaneForget the whole thingRedoThere are three tiers of connectivity. The system can thus handle mostaircraft, with features varying. Aircraft with built-in FMS get morefeatures. It sounds like this is still in alpha development and even more featuresare planned. PMDG spokesman Robert Randazzo reports this concept has been years in themaking. Once available, it will offer a whole new level of realism tosimulated flight. PMDG www.precisionmanuals.com
