I really hope that you can select to have the fuel gauges display pounds instead of kilograms. Huh

The whole point of the modern fuel computers on board the 757 and 767 was that it could change between Metric and Imperial!!! lol  Tongue

Could you please add all altimeters independents from each other ?

Or link just the PF and PNF altimeter but please not the standby altimeter.

have the choice between :

• EADI style : Speedtape EADI / Standard EADI
• F/D : Dual cue or single cue
• Airspeed bugs : Auto / Manual
• Weight : A REAL LBS / KGS mode
• Pause at T/D
• Don't allow the possibility to have external power/bleed airborne.

Quote from NNewcomb, because I think it's a great idea:

I also want to see the radar altimeter tape gauge.

I'd like to see the option to switch between the standard and V shape flight director seen here:

Not sure on the 757, but on the 767 this happens on the real plane:

- VOR radios do not tune ILS frequencies (ex. 109.90; 110.90; 109.10).

Please check against the real 757.

You mean that the crew enters the ILS frequency manually right? I was wondering if the FMC will actually auto tunes the ILS frequency in the real world?

No idea. On a real 767, the VOR radios will "skip" the ILS frequencies and only allow tuning of VOR stations, i wonder if this happens on the 757 as well and i'm asking for it to be verified for realism  Wink

As for the ILS, it should be entered on the FMC or on the ILS radio.

I agree with the ILS Freq need to be tuned in maually on the FMC or radio panel, as for the 757 auto tunning the VOR freq only, I would think so...

Fedex and AA are upgrading their cockpits with newer displays. In addition to that, there is another FS developer who has a 757 out on the market that comes with an option for these displays...I would hope Captain Sim would seriously consider this option. Here is a pic of the ISS displays  http://www.innovative-ss.com/
