Hi Chris !
Your comments are spot on.

Obviously AI has already discovered the room for improvement on their own. The Display on the newest ships with the LCD-Screens (instead of the old CRTs) looks

As I was told several restrictions imposed by an old DMC-Standard in combinaition with the slow cursor of the CRTs made these changes impossible until the advent of the LCDs.
The IAE-Display looks like this on an LCD:
Much more spacious and the numbers are all the same size. Bravo!
However the LCD-ships take a lot of getting used to, especially if you fly mixed as EVERY page looks more or less completely different. But us lowely outstation-folks are not normally even allowed to touch them, so why do I bother? My broad experience one year after EIS: 1.0 legs!
