Flight Management Computer (I think) - the iFLY 747 has one, I believe, and benig totally honest I've no idea what an FMC does

I must say, though - a default FMC in FSX would be cool!

Default FMS/FMC/CDU, whatever you wanna call it or perhaps even the possibility of INS navigation, is a far shot in my opinion.

It would be really great to have INS NAV Some older a/c used INS in real life and in their FS9 models one has to pretend that GPS is INS

Yeah, it would be nice with an MD-80 with INS NAV in FSX.

The there is one available for FS9 though, the Flight1 Super 80.

Flight1's MD80 does not have INS.
It's equipped with OMEGA/VLF (very low frequency) and it is a radio based nav system with RNAV capabilities.
OMEGA is phased out nowadays.
Simufly has a Delco Carousel IV INS gauge which is an accurate replica of the real deal, found in Lockheed Tristar's etc.
It's freeware aswell, but requires some reading, AND understanding of how those system work 8)

Funny, I thought I saw that it had INS NAV at their website. Oh well..

Could there be a chance they made a typo? (ONS) "O" is right next to "I"...

LOL...!!

Joking..

It's a sim and you can do what you wish but in real life jet transports 'have to be' flown very accurately for many reasons including noise abatement and air traffic restrictions. I doubt very much that you could 'Hand Fly' a SID with a 500ft lateral tollerance or for 13 hours non stop to Singapore.
Download this INS gauge and you will find it just as mentally challenging.
http://flyawaysimulation.com/article1370.htmlMany years ago a fellow pilot was fined GBP10,000 for transgressing the London TMA by less than 1000 ft!!!!!! If you were a pilot and had an instrument rating yoy would know how challenging it is to fly.
