Hello there,
I am starting this thread in an attempt to get more informed about the way information is dipslayed in the bottom left corner of the ND, which I suspect, might be wrong. It's also worth noting that, only aircrafts equipped with older CRT screens appear to be affected.
So let's take a look at the navigation display of a real 747-400 with cathode ray tube displays:
As we can see in the bottom left corner, we have starting from the top:
-TCAS mode
-Navigation Data points
-WRX mode/Terrain Map info
-VOR/ADF
Now, let's compare this to the ND on PMDG's simulation.
Still starting from the top, the order is the following:
-Navigation Data points
-WRX mode/Terrain map
-TCAS mode
-VOR/ADF
So, actually my question is pretty simple: is this something that may have been modeled incorrectly by PMDG ?
In order to prove me right or wrong, I am very much looking forward to hearing the input of anyone more familiar with the intricacies of the -400 than I am ;)
Cheers,
