Dear Level D (and everyone else too :-))I have three quick questions (I did run a search so please forgive me if these have been asked and answered already)1. I do not mean to come off sounding brash or angry, as I am not. I noticed the main panel bmps look a lot like the 767PIC ones, are they the same or are there any differences? (I really enjoyed the first one so I am not mad or anything, just curious if anything was able to be salvaged from PIC or you needed to start all over from scratch--I know there is a million new features and the panel looks amazing.)2. Will there be any form of a load editor included with the 767? (It is always fun to have but it is not difficult to go to weight and balance and change things--either way is great)3. It looks like the windshield wipers move in the VC pictures I saw, do they move in the 2D cockpit/exterior model as well?Thanks a ton. I'm really looking forward to Level D's release!!Have a great one.

from what i've heard:1) no need to start over imho, the original was allready VERY good2) yes3) not a clue... ?Guys i'm looking forward to it, btw from this point on you are allowed to release it for me... finally got the bank to issue me a mastercard muhahahahahahhaahahahahahahhahaCHeers and happy newyear

1. The main panels are from the old PIC. The pedestal and overhead are completely new, or nearly so (maybe some buttons, etc. reused.)2. Yes there will be a load editor and you will have to determine %MAC to calculate proper trim setting for takeoff.3. No.Regards,Wade

awesome thanks a ton!

question 1 : the main panel is roughly the same, but we added the F/O panel counterpart which is new and the mcp panel, which includes F/O FD switch and NAV2 receiver (as the FO panel)question 3 : the wipers don't work in 2D panels, but they are there in the exterior model (to precise Wade's answer).

awesome--thanks a ton--really looking forward to it!

>>"Grab the yoke between your legs and fly" I.Elchitz, SoCal App, 07/18/2003Did I actually say that on freq?You gotta hate those AP/RNAV only pilots. Ask anyone else who controls at ZLA about the "right turn" Loop departure and how annoying that can be (check out the chart to understand why the right turn is not so great).

Errr, what's %MAC and how do you calculate it?Bernie

Bernie,%MAC = % of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord. In real life it is calculated as part of a loadsheet. This info is then entered by the crew into the CDU, and the CDU then displays what Stab Trim to set for Take Off, based on the %MAC that has been entered.

First time I ever flew the LOOP2, as it was back then, IE was controlling, and I made the right turn, and was advised that I was not turning left!This was before I knew anything of charts, or I could drive a car. I think Middle 2001?

Just to add %MAC is still used today but one of the reasons invetnted was to simplify Mass and Balance calculations on the load sheet. Easier to use and reduces calculation errors. Of course nowdays time is money and airliners use software :) for their calculations and still using the term MAC. Happy New Year Terry MK ;-)

Don't feel bad. Real pilots make mistakes too. A couple months ago I was on a United 757 listening into ATC. As we were joining the ILS 28R at KSFO with heavy fog in the area, I could hear a 757 ahead told to go around (due to a heavy still on the runway), climb to 1000ft or so, and turn left 180. A short while later I hear ATC come back and say "XXX, you're not turning left, never mind, climb straight ahead to 3000". They ended up getting sent wide behind a bunch of other aircraft. No if the pilot had been paying attention he would have gotten slotted in much quicker. Not to mention there is terrain to the south and west of KSFO.Lee Hetherington, PP-ASEL (KBED)
