i litterally just cant wait

[Anton Vind]

Same here, I check the forum and the GFO website every single day. 😄

[Swaluver88]

Me too! Ugh been waiting for it since the name we do not speak here anymore (kyle) announced it

[Anton Vind]

Well I've watched RSR's presentation about GFO at the Flightsimexpo 2018 event over and over again hahaha

[VoyagerP3D]

Almost 2 years now since the announcement. In the meantime my initial enthusiasm dissipated somehow . Hopefully one of the twitch streamers like Chewwy94 will be part of the wide beta test phase and allowed to showcase this product

Hi Guys,

Have to admit me too I can't wait. Just imagine yourself in the 747 or 737 NGXu requesting Taf/Metar, ARR/DEP ATIS, PDC, guetting loadsheet, asking ATC to Level change or offset or hdg change to avoid weather and so many other cool (and real) stuff.

Please Robert, release GFO as soon as possible !

So excited about it !

Best regards,

[Anton Vind]

How about the 777 with its CPDLC system?

[Anton Vind]

Look on the ATC page in the FMC on the 747’s, I think they added new stuff recently, it looks really cool

it seems indeed ! But it's not working, isn't it ?

Cheers,

[Anton Vind]

No, only when GFO is released, I assume. But it looks very promising, and there's much more to come!

Exactly ! It looks actually ultra ultra realistic.
Very excited about it.

[Anton Vind]

Well everything you see in there is present in real life, and is modelled realistically!

[Swaluver88]

This will out beat everything. Absolutely next level flightsim era program here

Yes, absolutely. And no doubt the guys at PMDG are doing an incredible job modeling all the aspects of true acars/cpdlc operations.
The glimpse we can have already today, checking the ATC page in 747's FMC as Anton said, is stunning.

It would be so great to see more on GFO.

Cheers and stay safe,

[Anton Vind]

I agree, just checking out the ATC page in the FMC was stunning in itself, and this is probably just a tiny tiny bit of the entire GFO product. Let's hope for some previews in the months to come, can't be that far away now!

[Swaluver88]

I didnt buy the 747 due to the love/hate relationship we have with each other in real life but I cant wait for it in the NGXu!!

On the NGXu, that would also be, probably, my prefered choice. Because this aircraft is more than stunning.

But the cool thing with the 747-8 is that with GFO it will be an almost complete sim speaking of really cool features to use : EFB+ND taxi moving map + ECL(with deffered items, great implementation from PMDG, still missing on the 777), + RAAS + complete fmc + so many things

Cheers,

[Anton Vind]

Well I’ve reached a point where I actually dreamt about GFO a few nights ago. I saw a lot of planes on the map on the GFO website lol

[Swaluver88]

Had a couple of those

[Anton Vind]

Oh, so I’m not the only one. I simply can’t wait. Can’t be that far away now!

[BrunoT]

Just to share that known et absolutly nice video with you guys concerning real preflight ops on a beautiful Air Austral 737-800

https://youtu.be/TMh9v-C2SDQ

You'll see for just tiny seconds some Acars use regarding fuel uplift.

They also get TO datas via Acars, but they request them via a radio call, which is funny.

Best regards,

[Anton Vind]

Cool! I’ve watched tons of videos with ACARS and CPDLC in operation during the last couple of weeks, and oh, I had one of those dreams again. This time GFO was released. 😂

[BrunoT]

Landed today at VTSS. And I missed the ATIS, WX and company updates done via Acars before T/D.
But I'm so happy that will change pretty soon with GFO
Hopefully very very soon ! It would be awesome to have a real preview about it.

Cheers,

[Swaluver88]

I know. See the reason I absolutely love GFO is because it get simmers super close to reality. Not only that people who work in the industry will get closer together with it

[BrunoT]

Just look the ACARS position report page, at 15'05 in this beautiful justplanes 737 video posted yesterday.

So exciting !

I am very much hoping that GFO releases to us this summer, been very excited for it and I expect in the time since the announcement they have gone far beyond expectations and will knock our socks off with what they release.

[Anton Vind]

It definitely will 😎 At the announcement they said that literally hundreds of additional functionality was being added at an almost weekly basis, I think GFO will have so much to offer.

[BrunoT]

GFO will write a new page of the sim history, like the ngx did 9 years ago. It's a revolutionary product, and a new sim era will begin. It's going to be stunning.
Would be so cool to read a preview of it !

Cheers,

[Anton Vind]

You're right Thimote. Also nice of PMDG to allow other developers to participate in GFO, it'll create even more incentives to purchase their products as well.

You ask for a preview - have you watched RSR's announcement regarding GFO, on YouTube? :-) He made an presentation lasting half an hour there, at least.

Hi Anton,

Yes I did watch this preview you're absolutely right to mention, but unfortunatley it's not an in-sim video, and the quality of the recording could get improved.

But that is still a good start, you're correct.

So exciting !

Cheers

[Anton Vind]

Yeah I agree with you on the video - it was very difficult to read the details on the different previews. Traditionally, there's always a phase with previews when it comes to PMDG, so this will probably happen with GFO as well (I hope so at least)
