Manuals and input from real world pilots and crew would be neccessary. A few photos of a FMC menus and some general knowledge just isn't going to cut it unless you want a watered down, generic FMC. I can't remember whether it was a PMDG or Flight1 addon but one of the developers mentioned that it took him an entire year to code an FMC. And that's not just an hour every evening. :) I dug through my archives and it turns out I have a copy of a 737 FMC users guide. I'd be willing to offer that up to someone who is really serious about working on it.

[Flightgear-devel] FMC

Also Commerical flights the pilots don't program the FMC but groundcrew do. So it would be impractical to have a plane sitting at the end of 27R at SFO while a novice pilot is trying to work out the FMC, it would be nice if a flight plan could be loaded in (perhaps a text file that is read in). I'd imagine it would be heck of a lot of nasal code. Best of luck with that though. Regards George --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

This is actually something that I have in mind while working on adding support for airway following. If an AI aircraft can make use of it, then the user based aircraft should also be able to do it.
