Lighting is improved even further, with easier to read fuel on the overhead and separate lights in the vc.  Plus the sun visor is very nice. I did not hear the dreaded "ghost engine" outside, which is a big plus, thank you very much!  I guess he moved into the cockpit, where the engine sound is now deafening.  Plus the old problem of losing sounds in the cockpit somewhere during climb is still there.  I waited to see if I would hear a chime announcing my altitude had been reached, but no luck.  Similarly, the ding dongs neither ding nor dong.  Now that I have started using FS Passengers, that is not going to be an issue, though.

Where is the light coming from on the side of the fuselage when the lights are turned off?

Is it my imagination, or is the start sequence slowed down?  

This looks to be a major improvement, Captain Sim, and thank you so very much.  I am sure I will notice more improvements as I fly.

EDIT: ACK! p. 86 of the manual covering the controls... P2, at the bottom.  Will we never learn the mysteries of these knobs?   ;)  BUT, we now have the EPR-less GE upper EICAS!  Good job!  Didn't really expect that one.  And I like the new flights.  Hop in and fly, baby!
