Video shows a landing at Eagle (KEGE), the airport that serves the Vail, Colorado area.
For the folks that fly X-Plane, expect to see this capability some time in the future. No word on P3D, but should be scalable once it is available.
Not sure I'd pull my IFD from the plane, but Avi Labs obviously has extras lying around! Also running on the IFD100 app linked to the "panel" IFDs. I expect it will work just as well on a tablet running the IFD simulator. You can see the IFD550's flight path marker in the display (green bull's eye), he just puts that on the runway, and that is where the plane will go, whether you can see the runway out the window or not.
ASPEN has the same FPM construct on screen, available with the synthetic vision package, probably one of the biggest reasons to get the SVS unlock. A not uncommon feature on PFDs, but in GPS units, believe only the IFD550 has it.
