I just installed the RFP for the first time and can't believe I haven't flown until now. She is a great aircraft! Thanks to hawkeyeted for helping me out with getting the TCAS in the proper location and the proper size! I'll be parking for the PMDG 744F for a little while as I enjoy this great classic that makes you work for your flight time!

Working the pattern at OMDB and trying to get used to her, I think that I'm ready to take her across the pond now!

You'll see, she is the equivalent of a sport car; she handle's so easy specially when in manual.

There's a TCAS for it?

I love to fly the CIVA INS. I think it makes trips more fun. I have something to do other than sit there, or tab out and browse the web.

I bet pilots wish they could tab out and browse the web on long flights in the real world. The 744's autoland makes me lazy. Nothing like the Autoland on the 742. I had an approach into KMSP in the 742, had turned off the INS, and I had all of my engines shut down on the approach...WTF? So I got all of them restarted but the number one, I killed the fuel to #1 and restarted it and it spooled up as I was over the numbers...ah crap...I got down, and it completed the autoland cycle, but it was ugly. Next time, leave the fragging engine turned off!!
