Wow, I am excited about the news that SU2 is almost ready. In reading the long list of enhancements, I did not see the Cost Index function listed. Does anyone know if Cost Index will be supported in SU2 or a future version?Mike at RDU

Sorry Mike, but it will be implemented in the future.

i am feeling like writing my 2 cents to the cost index topic from a personal view as well as from the view of a pilot (friend of mine).It may be somewhat nice to enter a different CI and see the aircraft behaving differently depending on how low or high the index is but it has close to nothing to do with real airmanship. On long hauls it might make sense to use one but as far as i know, the CI is usually overridden with manual inputs, especially on boeings where there is more on the "user-side" than on Airbus. So for example if you use a company CI of 42 and see, oh man, i am runnning in a delay, they dial in an appropiate mach-number and the cost-index and all the brainpower behind it is worth nothing.What i am wanting to point at is, the CI is a VERY complex issue in any FMC but the pilots i ever talked to, don

Cost Index will be a added feature on the 800-900 series and will be done 100% realisticly. [h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/196432/winglets_lg.jpg
