So this morning in the real world, the pilot was in the gangway and I asked him "What SID do we have the pleasure of taking this morning?" He smiled at me and said "I am not sure but what seat are you in?" I told him my seat and about 7 minutes later he hands me this....

Long story short, this guy is on my Christmas card list.
Then amongst a few of my buddies we were thinking it would be cool to code in a plugin for PE that would print this same format out to us on a little USB label printer
On another note I am having a ball on this network! Hope to bring many converts to the fold

That is pretty cool, indeed!
I remember when we were allowed to visit the cockpit as kids during flight, looking amazed at all those knobs and gauges, and the pilots seemed like gods or aliens.
Today, as a flight sim enthusiast, we know every knob and gauge ourselves and the mystery is gone.

PDC is on the list. If we succeed with a commercial project that is in the works at the moment with a large flight training provider, it will definitely be happening. It's also planned as part of the expansion project as well.

Good luck, that would be fantastic!

Cool !!!
Does that mean I will have to unpack my heavy metal from moth balls, and scare the heck out of the ATC when they see me coming.
