Will MDF information be exportable to smart devices like tablets?

TL;DRNot in the near future; the focus is on making the cockpit and its MFDs better, so exporting to tablets is something they might consider later, with no commitments.

That's a tricky one. I think the experience at the moment that we're trying to push is to make the cockpit more accessible. We're pushing a lot more stuff onto MFDs. We're kind of moving away from AR stuff and actually making those screens useful. So I think as of right now, the focus is definitely on making those make more sense, be more accessible. That's really where our attention is in terms of the cockpit. That's not to say that we wouldn't get around to it further down the line, but as of right now, making sure that everyone can use these better, that's really our number one goal. So never say never, but it's not in the near future for us on this.

We've had this conversation, not just you and I, but a couple other designers in the past. It'd be interesting and it'd be nice. I know a lot of the more dedicated flight sim folks out there, they build their custom cockpits with the panels from Saitek and stuff like that. That stuff is cool. And I'm absolutely certain it would be something that Chris would be interested in, but we have to prioritize these things. And right now and for the foreseeable future, our work is definitely on the cockpit experience, because it's better than it was, but it's still not where we want it to be. So that's where our focus has to be, on the stuff that affects everybody.

And I'm sure once we reach certain points, going back and looking at what can we do more of, what can we streamline. So it'll be a constant process, but as of right now, let's get this.

Something we'll consider down the road, but no commitments. At this point, it's too early to commit to it, is basically what we're saying.
