Hardy,

After 7 years of PSxxx abstinence and seeing the screenshots of PSX it starts "itching" again ;)  Since I "abandoned the flight deck" I switched to the Mac but I assume that PSX will be available as a Mac app too (considering you use the Mac yourself).

I don't know if it is discussed already (can't find it any where) so here is my question:
Would it technically be possible that e.g you use the touch screen of your iPad to program the FMC or the control the EFIS/EICAS ( to name a few )  I see all kind of applications which make it possible to control apps on a iMac with an iPad or iPhone.

Hi Ton,

iPad and iPhone are small, slow and expensive; designed for travelling. It may work with PSX to a certain degree, but I see no advantage in using it within a home cockpit while cheaper, bigger and faster products are available for stationary use.

True Hardy, but for a desktop pilot it certainly has some advances ....waiting for the 3rd party developers  :D
