Here's a rough start on the PFD for the Boeing 747-400:

As you can see there's quite a bit of detail missing and the roll arrow isn't
animated yet.

I'll be adding a little more detail for our current autopilot data (the
magenta things), etc.  The secondary display will probably just display the
full compass rose with DG/HSI functionality.

A few questions...

1). Does anyone know what the two "feather wing like" icons are supposed to
indicate and what they do if/when they move (look to each side of the 15
degree pitch line in the second picture)?

2). Does anyone know if the compass indicator on the PFD has different modes,
e.g. toggling between MAG or DG?

3). And does the MAG mode in the Boeings behave like the whiskey compass in
the Cessnas?  That is, should it be snagging up when in a 30 degree bank or
should it pretty much work in a turn?

Best,

Jim
