The PMDG Universal Flight Tablet is a new ecosystem within the PMDG product line that is designed to give us a natural space from which to offer applications and tools that will improve your simming enjoyment with our products. As development continues, we will be leveraging the tablet environment to bring you items that are focused on control of the PMDG airplane, such as:
– Managing all of the PMDG Options from the tablet *or* the FMS menu.
– Managing PMDG Functions from the tablet *or* the FMS menu.
– Manage PMDG Failures from the tablet *or* the FMS menu.
There are other additional features coming which we will detail in later posts- and we have also begun to coordinate with some outside developers in order to bring direct access to their applications right from within the PMDG Universal Flight Tablet. This will allow for some really neat integrations with the applications and tools that you love- all right from within the tablet, without breaking realism, and without needing to have 20 pop-up screens managed all over your desktop.
Within the core tablet functionality, we have included:
– Data Entry via attached keyboard, or via an on-screen keyboard
– Metric/Imperial Units selectable.
– Day/Night setting.
– Independent, fully functioning pilot/copilot tablets.
