PAPA TANGO used to do a piece of software called EFIS 98 which I believe has been updated and is now called NAVDATA2000 to accommodate fs2000 although compatibility with fs2002 is unlikely. The package was simply excellent, I have the A320 FMGC (FMC) manual and used this to compare the EFIS98 operation to the real thing and to be quite honest it's about as close as you'll get to a real FMGC without having it attached to a £30million aircraft. Top notch stuff. You might also look at some of the add ons such as B737-400 by dreamfleet as this has an FMC but how good it is I don't know.

There is also a package called precision747-400 which has a full FMC/CDU system which is very good, If you don't want MS then this might be a good choice.

Wilco publishing's B767 PIC program has a fully functioning pegasus FMC. You can interface it with the rest of the program.

However it does rest on top of MS FS2000.

I myself would buy PS1.3. This is a 747-400 sim that covers over 95% of the real systems found on the 744 including a fully working FMC. The website can be found at: <a href="http://www.aerowinx.com" target="_blank">www.aerowinx.com</a>

Its not as pretty as PIC but its much more realistic, even the PIC programmers agreed!!

It should be, it's roughly ten times the price.
($40 vs $400).

Is there a problem mstram?

In jorgvaz original post he says that he doesn't want a microsoft product. PIC is used in conjuction with MSFS. Works out to be a similar price to PS1.3 if you wanted PIC and didn't have MSFS to start with.
