Stephen Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 News! - Update Revised : WebFMC Pro v1.5.3 by Green Arc Studios Revised update... This revision covers both the v1.5.2 and now the v1.5.3 release. The excellent WebFMC Pro plugin application has been updated to v1.5.3. This update covers the changes to for the just released ToLiSS Airbus A321-123, and the v1.5.2 that covers the SSG Boeing 748i v2 and E-Jets Evolution Series to be active in the application, the earlier 747-8 Series v1.9+ is still supported as well. The WebFMC is a plugin that allows you to use a FMC (Flight Management Computer) on an external screen via a web browser. That is an another computer or tablet. So it is a remote tool, but a very beneficial tool and even a powerful one in programming in route and performance data and following the set aircraft route in flight and in mirroring the aircraft's built in FMS (Flight Management System). Added into the functionality is a load of features in the use of the FMC on another screen.... and so yes I am a huge fan. There are a few notes in that the application will only work in the updated SSG versions of the B748i and E-Jet Evolution via the right hand FMC unit due to limitations of the datarefs (both new version SSG releases now have independent twin FMC access), and any use of the left FMC in popup mode will disconnect the WebFMC interaction with the aircraft (I found in the SSG B747i v2 review inconsistencies when using the left hand FMC as noted in the review, so those aspects are not surprising). v1.5.3 release The WebFMC Pro was available for the ToLiSS Airbus A319, but with the release of the new Airbus A321 the same web tool is now available for that aircraft as well, and yes it is an instant hit for me... v1.5.2 release In doing the SSG v2 B748i review I really missed this tool massively, and it is brilliant to have it back, as long haul routing can be very difficult to input, notably here because of the SSG 748i 20 page FMC input limitation. My routing details are done on another computer (A Mac 27") and use SimBrief and Navigraph tools... note that the PLAN routing is done on the right side NAV/MAP SSG display and not the left side as usual.... ... otherwise it is a normal routing operation.
