FMS
-
Came across an ancient video on YT for an airline called PB Air with an F28-4000
Having watched most of this now it's clear just how well JF have modeled it. The only thing I really noted was the amount of noise during the takeoff roll and especially when the gear is coming up - sounds like the garbage disposal is running :-)

@b3lt3r That may not be an FMS, that may be an ACARS unit. Hard to tell from the blurry image but my guess leans towards ACARS.

It‘s an FMC. Hope to get soon a FMC like that instead of the GNS 530 for rnav capability :)
Interesting video, the autopilot has the Pitch button remove. Instead there is a V/S switch installed on the pedestal panel. -
Can’t upload picture, but check on video at 49min06. You have the confirmation of FMC

@papafox85 I was pretty certain it was as the Captain seemed to be referring to it a lot.
Oh what I wouldn't give for a VS mode given the current pitch mode "surprises" :-)
