It most definitely does change - we measured the column through the full trim range and it moves realistically in ours.

Thanks, but now that you say it I'd like to dig into that once again, since I'm not currently aware of how it works on the real counterpart off the top of my head. You say you measured it thru the complete trim range, alright. Now we know the 37 has an elev feel system, so the actual elev forces will obviously not get transferred to the column directly, like in a 'direct driven' single engine prop. Whenever I trim on the ground in such a smaller plane, obviously nothing happens. But assume I'd take my hands off the yoke in flight and then give the trim some significant change, then the yoke would move. How is this on the 37, as it doesn't exactly have a 'force' feedback, and I mean the actual control surface forces here? Say you're on the ground and give the trim a flip, would the column move or stay centered (or neutral, if you will) all the time? Hope my question makes any sense at all. :(

I give you guys credit. Exactly how many months did you live in that cockpit?

I think we should not look for a pogo stick, rather a pillow and blanket!

This has to be a joke right, this might be a revolutionary flight sim plane, but heaven forbid the yoke looks off from a different POV.

The PFD-ND style is standard since the first NG was built. Boeing gave the EFIS-MAP option to those airlines that had in the fleet, 737 NGs and Classics, so that the pilots wouldn't feel a big difference between the two models and training costs would be smaller. Happens that the EFIS-MAP option is not certified for some precision procedures, such as RNP (Required Navigation Performance), which is being implanted in many airports as a approach procedure and is increasingly being used enroute (during cruise flight) to allow the aircrafts to fly shorter routes. I'm sure someone else can explain you better what RNP is :(.

Changing the DU's isn't that bad. I believe they use a floppy disc, run some checks, and it is ready to go. It only takes an overnight to do this. It is correct that it is not a simple as pushing a few buttons, but it also doesn't require an rewiring or any "hardware" changes. That is one of the primary advances of glass cockpits.

Thank you for your feedback guys. You have answered my question and taught me quite a bit. It is much appreciated. Now I feel as though I am expert at this stuff! I think when I fly the United Merger NG I'll spend the previous night with a floppy disc in hand Regards
