>>Have to admit that I sat bolt upright in the chair when i saw>your reply! well done!This was my second letter to the editor they published. The first one was in the March 2004 issue. I am like you - I read the whole thing but I admit start with Aftermath and Technicalities.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2

>>>These are interesting features listed here. Previously I had>>ideas of some new features for the virtual cabin, near a>>passenger seat, activated by clicking places.>>>>-open and shut the window cover>>-read a newspaper with current news from the internet>>-play movies of your choice (.avi or mpeg file)>>-tilt the chair at different angles>>-extend and unfold the tray>>-click on the tray for different meals and beverages to>>appear. Personally I like lasagne and salad to go with a>>beer.>>>>>>>Are you flying the plane or are you just a passenger? :(Eventually you will be able to fly as a passenger while someone else is flying the plane, and chat to other virtual passengers. These features would make the trip more interesting and real.

I'd like to add another "wish list" feature:Individually controlable external lights.Supposedly another developer has done this, and it would be awesome if we could control each light.

[Guest mvf1981]

Just a thought whilst this is a wish list.It would be nice if the cabin lights could be dimmed during takeoff and landing for night flights.dont worry I do actually fly the plane from the flightdeck not the spot plane view :) its just for those nice screenshots and replays!anyway keep up the good work pmdg cause so far the 744 sounds amazing.

>-Flight Saving: This one we heard loud and clear on the NG ...>-Compression: This is a mathematical derivation problem ...Just my (probably obvious) simple observation that if I had to chose one of them no doubt Flight Saving is (IMHO) much more important of the two. Compression is really a form of butchering (to put it mildly) of the simulation and things like ATC can't really be compressed.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2
