You could always order the RFP 747-200 Next Generation, which was totally revamped for FS-2004 from the 2002 version which I have. It's very complex, you have to be a flight engineer also on that one. Also, you can download CIVA from simufly.com and the optional 747-200 panel.cfg to add a triple installation of the CIVA system. If you think FMC's are quirky try navigating with INS driven by mechanical gyros which drift and require occasional DME updating and triple mix mode on 3 unit systems for most accurate results. You would spend as much time working with the INS system as you would with the 300 plus other functional switches, buttons and gauges. On the 767, one thing that bothers me is that they carried over the "artistic liberty" on the 2D main panel and placed the standby gauges on pop-ups while eliminating them from the main panel view and sqweezing the efis in toward the main flight instruments, just like the old PIC from wilco. I guess I'm picky but I want my panels whether 2D or VC to look as exactly like their realworld counterparts as possible even if it is an in-convenient arraingement to do so.
