Arabian Airlines has developed a system called the 'kneeboard,' which is a
simulated ACARS system specifically tuned for Arabian's operations.
The kneeboard allows pilots to continually update their flight status by
clicking a button, allowing the flight to be tracked live through our website,
all from within flight simulator, thus eliminating the necessitation of going
through our on-website PiRep system. You can access the kneeboard, after
installing it, through your "Key Commands" section of your FS Kneeboard by
pressing F10. The kneeboard is only to be used on flights that will be flown in
real time. All flight departure and arrival times for all Arabian Airlines
flights are in GMT time format.
The kneeboard will be available soon once the testing period for it has
ended, and all known bugs have been fixed.

Until our kneeboard comes online, we have developed a special
PDF file that our pilots can download, print, and fill out throughout their
flight so that they can quickly, and easily, fill out our on-website PiRep form.

Arabian Airlines has a large fleet of mostly Airbus aircraft
that it uses on flights to destinations all over the world. To maintain a high
level of realism, we have made some decisions about our fleet and which files
will be allowed for use in our operations.
All Airbus A340-500 and A340-600 aircraft will
utilize the CLS A340-500/600 package until a feasible freeware model is
released.
All Boeing 747-428 aircraft will utilize the PMDG 747-400 package until
the release of the Project Opensky Boeing 747-400 v4 model.
All other aircraft, minus the MD-11, will come with "merged
FDE kits" which will allow pilots to utilize the PSS Airbus series of panels and
software. |
