Hello guys.
As I'm progressing more and more with my simplified A320 simulator (RMP and overhead panels will be ariving next week! :grin: ) I'm moving now onto the software side of things.
In all my years of simulation, I have NEVER understood the point of PMSystems and Aircraft-Type Software.
First off, why can a person not simply undock the windows from their aircraft panel and put it onto the screen? Why do people dish out $1000+ for PM gauges (IE Airbus-Type Software). Perhaps for commercial simulators where you need a certified product, but why do people spend this money?
And what about PMSystems? I realize that it gives realistic "systems" and control of the overhead panel. What's the point if you're using an aircraft such as the Level D 767 or PMDG products that have already very good overhead panels? Is it just needed when a lower-quality aircraft is used, to boost it up to a higher "class"? And why do people pay so much for it if this is all it does.
Thanks for the help, I'm quite confused here.
