Interesting, but who are they, how long have they been working on this? Where are they located? Any specifics what works and doesn't? I noticed they're still working on LNAV.
Love to hear more about this :)

Hi guys!
I got some answers from them!
The software is combatible with fsuipc/widefs and uses all the offsets described in fsuipc offset list.
I`m looking forward to beta test it:)
So far

This looks really good, hope it will be a bid cheaper so everyone can afford it. But what I saw on the page looks very promising.
Keep up the good work, hope to see a demo soon.
Cheers Norbert

Ok! I have some news right now:D
The software is done like PM with a bit better approach.
You have 1x .exe file for PFD/ND installable on 1 or 2 PC`s
for Pilot and CO.Fully custumable with .xml file
All modes are managed also panelswitching for EICAS and PFD/ND.
You have one .exe file for MCP/EFIS connectable to hardware mcp
installable on every pc in network and managed by fsuipc offsets
also there is a special mcp with panellike display like PM for those without hardware.
You have a server.exe installable on every pc in network where
no configs has to be made.
When you start this server the whole cockpit comes alive!:DGenius!!!
The PFD/ND/Eicas is located in one .exe file and you can switch options on and of for your needings.
A list with fsuipc offsets is applied.
Betatest runs till May 18th
Also you get a CDU .exe like PM fully custumable and compatible with engravity cdu.
You can custumize gauge display to only see black screen without surroundings:smile:
So thets for it right now!
More to come when everything is setup in my pit:rolleyes:

Hi all !
I have some news from testing !
The flightdecksoftware works really good!
The FMC is better than the PMDG one and works flawlessly.
I tested the Captain PFD/ND and EICAS on a Celeron 2,8Ghz/1GBram/Geforce6200 256mb
with a 19"lg widescreen and a Nec 15"lcd in horizontal span mode.
and i have had no perf. issues.
If you want to you can display all gauges on 1PC with multiple screens.
Currently i`m working on the SIOC script for the MCP/EFIS which is right now 80% functioning.
I added some new pics to my HP !
Here is the link to my gallerie:

Thats all right now from the testlab;)
