"Does anyone know if the Queen of the sky will be equipped with:- FANS"Just guessing here....Probably not... unless there was someone sitting in a room somewhere to answer all your transmissions/requests. There are just too many request variations for AI to cope with."- GPS"Probably."- CMC-Functions"Which functions? It would take 100 years for PMDG to programme a fully functional, realistic CMC. To be honest, I don't think anyone outside of Boeing would have the expertise/knowledge to programme/test something like this. Even PS1's CMC only scratches the surface of the real thing.Hope this helps.Cheers.Ian.

Please Please!And what are the "FANS" and "CMC" ?Best regards,Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com

Armen - FANS - Short for fansy FMC. Nah, I think this stands for Future Air Navigation System. There is a FANS MCDU as an option to the Smith's FMS with a broader range interface to the FMC as well as additional sub-systems connected to the FMS.CMC - Haven't got a clue. Maybe Common Messaging Calls?Cheers, :-beerchug

CMC = Central Maintenance Computer. Probably extremely hard to do in simulation for MSFS. Even our Level D sim doesn't have a functioning CMC portion do to the shortfalls of Simulation vs Real Aircraft.RegardsPaul Gollnick :-cool Technical Operations/Customer Operational SupportPrecision Manuals Development Groupwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg

Well if the 744 isn't going to have FANS or CMC then IMHO PMDG needs to make sure the Pogostick has it!:-)

I think the FANS option on the Pogo stick integrated with the Flower and the CMC should be ready for testing in about 5-7 yrs. :-)RegardsPaul Gollnick :-cool Technical Operations/Customer Operational SupportPrecision Manuals Development Groupwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg
