A short update on this topic:
We have had good progress, almost all hurdles have been overcome or worked around, and we will have something to announce soon.
There will be some limitations in the Charts 8 version for In-Game Panel, mainly concerning the map (e.g. no Globe projection, no track up moving maps, no map filters) but in most other aspects it is Charts 8. With VFR map, autopinning, METAR/TAF, runway winds, etc.
We will provide more details soon.
Regards,
Stephen
