Electronic Flight Bag released

FSWidgets has released Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) 2004.
Like in the real world, the virtual EFB contains maps, weather
information and manuals.

An EFB is a real-world device that can display a variety of different
functions that in the past were traditionally achieved with paper or
hard copy manuals and charts. It is designed to minimize a pilots
"head-down" time, providing real-time information and handy functions
not normally available in cockpit of the past.

Some of the features include:

• Moving Map (with XML-calibrated chart support)
• PDF Approach Charts support (via
  Adobe Reader 7)
• JPG/BMP Approach Chart support
• PDF Aircraft Manual support (via
  Adobe Reader 7)
• HTM Aircraft Reference Material Support
• Checklists (includes audio
  "heads-up" checklist support)
• Connects to real-time online
  weather resources (e.g. Doppler Radar)
• Connects to web-based online
  resources (e.g. METARS, TAF)
• Displays the NAV log for the
  currently loaded FS2004 flight plan
