Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2007 8:43 amEllie Systems proposed prices are now posted at the site:
http://www.elliesystems.com/Store/produ ... election=2
The whole 777 suite will cost you about $240. Not exactly FREE FD.
But still way, WAY better than some other options, like Project Magenta.
The nice thing is that the various components apparently will be available separately... a smart move. The ND alone for example is $59.

Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2007 8:30 pmWell if Free FD is any indication to the quality of his work then 240 is a good deal!

Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2007 11:38 amLooking at that product I would like to see some other stuff to make it more complete. The 777 package would be nice, but it is very much like freefd my guess is the only benefit you would get would be the updated nav data and a bug free EICAS. I would also like to see a set of airbus gauges, 737, 747, and maybe some general aviation style(although FSXpand does a pretty good job at this)
Im also a bit disappointed there is no cdu.
If there was a weather radar integrated in the nav display it would be a no brainer.
Another panel I would want would be a good gps, still haven't found anything other then the google maps plug-in from those wideview guys.

Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2007 12:14 pmWell, very odd situation over on the Ellie Systems online store.
The proposed prices for the new 777 Suite gauges have now been RAISED from what I posted a few days ago.
The PFD and the ND are now "proposed" priced at $79, while the standby gauges are now at $59 and the EICAS is now at $89.
Sorry about the change....... I had nothing to do with it.

Yeah.... that would be a REALLY nice situation. Or have them integrate witl the existing SAWX gauge the way PM's ND already does.

Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2007 5:17 pmThe Ellie Systems 777 glass cockpit software is now very close to release.
Re: FreeFD ....BINGO!!! You want it? Go get it.
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2007 8:07 pmAwesome at some point I think this is gonna make its way into my pit. The ND and MFC might be my only investment with the EICAS coming from fsxpand.
Thanx for the info,
John
