Steve,Unfortunatly there is no TCAS in the 600/700, if you were to purchase the 800/900 upgrade package,I deliberatly wrote the upgrade part in Bold, then you'd get the worlds first fully functional simulated TCAS system and this thing has got to be seen to be believed!Along with that you get much more FMC functionality, better panel graphics etc etc plus the 800/900 models with updated and more FPS friendly Virtual cockpits. You're 2D panels in the 600/700 will also be updated and PMDG are in the process of testing an update for the 800/900 owners which will provide new virtual cockpits for the 600/700 too.I aslo understand that PMDG will provide an IRS unit in the update but I could be wrong.John http://homepage.eircom.net/~eamonnmca/images/logo_ba.JPGwww.bavirtual.co.uk Senior Captain Simflight.com Staff Reviewer

Steve,I have the 600/700 and have just bought the 800/900 upgrade.The extra functionality that the upgrade enables is well worth the few dollars! The TCAS is also excellent.....Iain
