Hello everyone hope you are well this is another long video today for the efb shootout comparison/Tutorial video for the top 2 efbs available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. If you would like info on specific efbs check below for the time stamp section and skip ahead. 1st i will go over both efbs in the sim application then we take things off screen and set up both of these to show you what is involved to set them up. After that we talk about the download and install but more important is the Price on the 2 efbs. If you are flying in vr i would not recommend the the sky4sim as the resolution is not great in vr. But regardless what you choose i think that either of them are a great addon to the sim . If you have any questions please leave them below and please like share and subscribe to the channel.

Great video - as always. In making a decision, one also needs to consider what other tools they have in their SIM toolbox. I use LNM extensively and have a subscription to Navigraph - both of which provide functionality to track the movement of my aircraft on the ground and in the air (on top of their other features and functionality). Relative to hardware, I use an LG 4k TV as my main monitor (my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so, I need the larger view area), I have a 2nd monitor and I have a laptop - the latter 2 devices mounted on stands connected to my desk so I can move them around for ease of viewing and access. Typically, prior to and during a flight, I have LNM running on my 2nd monitor and Navigraph running on my laptop so there is no lack of map and chart information. All that being said, I find that Sky4sim (which I purchased a number of months ago) provides me easy access to whatever other information I might find of use. I also don't like cluttering up my main monitor with extra windows and Sky4sim provides the ability / option to open in a browser window (vs the Toolbar icon) and I place that browser window on my second monitor. I also really like Sky4sim when doing a casual flight. The ability to easily see VORs and ICAOs and get their related information simply by hovering over the icon is great. As usual, everyone's mileage my vary 🙂

Thanks for the comment . I agree with you and if you have multi monitors then this is not an issue because of all the other tools available for moving maps etc. But if you have 1 monitor or are in vr then you dont have the ability to see those other tools like little navmap. So depending on situation 1 may be better than the other but my goal in the video is to maybe help someone find one with the features they want so they can make an educated purchase.

Thanks for the response. There is no doubt you provided information to those in the market for such an app to make a more informed decision and purchase. Every SIM supporting app has their pros and cons and thank goodness for folk like yourself who take the time to: a) ferret them out; b) go through the process of figuring out how to set them up and use them; and, c) put together high quality videos demonstrating all that. That is why your videos always get my attention!

One of the other awesome great informative videos you produce with high standard and quality. And exactly what I was looking for. Your work is highly appreciated :) After messing about a year now with msfs I want to get into doing things as they supposed to and was looking for some help in this. As I’m flying vr only…this video helped me to pick the product I want :) Was wondering 1 thing though. To get your installation filled with all kinds of airport charts etc etc that is going to be a lot of work. I also noticed once you got all kind of data set for an airport the app will re-use that information when planning a next flight having this airport in. So I’m guessing they can be exported/copied as well to be used for other users of the app. I’ve been looking around on boards/threads etc but could not find anything yet. Do you know perhaps a place to get stuff to pre-fill the app?

I ended up going for Sim EFB, I was initially put off but the price difference, but as you highlighted it’s very intuitive for pulling charts and information. Also, I’m not sure if you mentioned but I believe it builds a database of inputted information for airports.

if SWS Software never had the idea to support Sky4Sim with their new PC-12 i would never had steppt upon that tool. what i think of it, i want to reach SWS and tell them that they should remove any support with sky4sim. It just makes their produkt worse. has Sky4Sim ever asked them selves why pilots in reallife have tablets in their cocpit? i have the feeling no. The only good thing about The PC-12 is. you must not install Sky4Sim and can completly ignore that there is an useless tablet. what i see, if you like vfr flights, painting your route with simple mouse clicks on bing map and import it to the sim. and if you like neofly, it might be something for you. but if you like to plan real low or high ifr routes use simbrief calculations for fuel and navigraph maps to know everything about your destinations. Sky4Sim isn't for you. because than it has nothing usefull.

The only built in moving map is the one I showed in the video . It's by open map so no satalite map unless you grab a satalitle map from the web like I show with other maps then turn it into a moving map and presto you have your satalite map. But it's not updating any satalite weather .
