To increase my understanding of using the FMC, I am contemplating the purchase of an FMC User's Guide by Bill Bulfer. In the UK they are quite expensive at

David,I don't have both but I do have the 737NG FMC Guide and can highly recommend it. There is a significant difference between the Smiths FMC found on the NG and the Honeywell FMC found on the Big Boeings. The mode of operations are different. So if possible I would opt for both.Have you tried to order directly from www.fmcguide.com? It may be cheaper! And maybe you could get both for the amount your local airshop provides.Hope it helps,

So different that you cannot use the 757 one for learning the NG. SOme BASIC things might be the same but one would not learn off it.. I have the NG one and it is great, you will see where this FMC (PMDG) greatly follows a majority of Bulfer's information and was one of the items used by me during the beta phase.. HOLDS are one area that come to mind...Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J. Smith[/h4]http://www.rawbw.com/~bdoolin/shinault/southparkcartmad.gif[h3]I WANT MY 747![/h3]Caution! Not a real pilot, but do play one on TV ;-)

David,I have the 737 (All models) FMC Guide, and the 737 cockpit companion. The former is a must have which will further demonstrate how detailed the PMDG is. You can actually fly some of the examples and they work like the real thing. The cockpit companion is more of a nice to have but still very good. I live in the UK and bought from Bill Bulfer direct rather than Transair as it worked out cheaper even after shipping. Also if you buy both of those you get an $8 discount.
