Techy Q for 744 drivers...

Guys,

Just went out and bought PS1.3 (744 prof sim) which claims to be accurate in every respect. Much to my confusion, I noted that the APU can't be started in flight but can be started on the ground and THEN left running in flight. Goes against Boeing philosophy, don't you think? I mean, look at the 737, 757, 767, 777... as far as I know all off them can start their APU's inflight.

And why doesn't the 744 have a RAT?

4 engine flameout
- No RAT
- No APU inflight
-----------------------
= one 744 going SPLAT!

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but easy on the personal attacks. I'm just curious!
