The YASim 747-400 is deep in "bleeding edge" mode right now. I'd avoid depending on it for any serious work. Recent versions in CVS are doing much better, but there are still bugs and gotchas in the flight model at altitude. (Actually, they're generic to YASim as a whole, the 747 just gets bitten harder. The propeller planes don't fly across as broad a flight regime, and the military jets don't have hard numbers to prove them wrong.) The lack of a panel is a real deficiency. If you don't want to write one for us (heh), you could use the HUD as John Check suggests. Another option is to run a glass cockpit display (www.opengc.org) on a second machine. If you're doing your own FMS, however, you may not want to deal with another. Andy -- Andrew J.
