Hi all!Will the IRS be fully operational in all of it

This should help with your question, and FYI, please use your real name when posting here sir, PMDG likes to know who they are talking to :) and it's a forum rule." To clarify Lefteris' comments- we do have an IRS interface in the airplane. The IRS will fulfill *most* of the functionality seen in the airplane cockpit. Why most? Well- quite simply, the IRS is a system that you, as the pilot would interface with very very little. In the real world, if you wound up using the IRS for anything- you'd have such a massive emergency on your hands that changes are you would be accepting vectors onto the nearest suitable airfield rather than tinkering with this box over your head. The 737 simply doesn't fly far enough from suitable fields that you would place yourself in a situation during which it would be a significant concern to you.The IRS has been modeled in order to incorporate it's basic function into the "flow" of procedures in the airplane. What you will find is that you will generally not look at it but once each flight. As such- we have elected to simplify the alignment process, as it introduces an undesired layer of complication to the systems on the airplane that we simply do not wish to model AT THIS TIME. Instead we have focused our develolpment efforts on systems that you WILL interact with on a regular basis.Another- BIG reason for not becoming overly concerned with the IRS is this: The FMC on this airplane relies heavily on ADIRU and GPS for position information....

Thanx for your replyT. Epstein

Mr. Epstein-Thanks for putting your name in there. You can ignore my commentary on our forum guidelines in your earlier posting- I see you have since learned of them!Randy has kindly pasted my earlier reply to the IRS question- but I'll add a few details:The IRS has some information display modes that can be accessed by the pilot quite easily. These modes involve ground track, speed, heading and location information. These modes are being modeled in the IRS for your use.I would expect that we will include a full IRS with an optional "alignment pause" function that can be used by those who wish to suplement the already high degree of realism contained in this airplane....
