Hey All,

I have three comments on your post and pic.

1) Now we know what those northwest airline pilots were doing. :icon_lol:

2) You obviously know how to use an FMC. I have just run away with my tail between my legs from the Wilco Embraer Legacy (600) FMC (bought 2 days ago). After a couple hours of trying to comprehend how to program it - I've quit for awhile. (actually the problem is the directions more than the software - press LOAD which one of 3 LOADS and what is an IRS align anyway)

3) I need one of those cable setups!

Hi easyed,

The easiest FMS for me is the CS 757 & 767, I like em cause the LNAV and VNAV work good. Also you can import a Pre-Creted Flight Plan - it is the best for me I can easily change the flight plan upon descent and landing - IRS is set manually in these aircraft -

The Super80 - Pro - has a similar FMS and the IRS can be set automatically, You can import a Flight plan as well -

The PMDG BAe - JS4100 - is fairley easy to use, no VNAV function, but not a big deal, great flyer -

I just figured out the PMDG 747, very fun once you get it working -

I have not purchased any Wilco yet, however I'm looking at the 737 & CRJ -

The TV card is very cool, hit up your local Best buy for thier year end sales -

My only fmc experience is the CS767 and being able to import flightplans is a huge help, then all you have to figure out is your approach. As for passing the time on long flights I have my tv right next to my
monitor with a ps3 so I have plenty of options. Lately I have been practicing my rubik's cube proficiency. Actually the other day I ran out to the supermarket for about a half hour and let the flight go.
