Thanks guys for the links, I'll check out those sites later.

Doug, I know what you mean. When I was flying this past summer, I was invited up to the flightdeck by the captain of a 737-500 on COA425 KEWR-KCLE, and when I asked him if I could ride in the flightdeck during the flight, he said that I couldn't. He said that back in the "old days", things like being in the flightdeck during flight were common. When I asked him that if by the "old days", he meant before 9/11, he said yes.

....And Duck Twacy, the Level-D 767 does have a manual that provides general info on the 767, and yes, there is also a checklist that you can print out to use just as you would with the PMDG 737. The manual also includes a section where they describe a flight and go through the procedures and such.

I also have the PMDG 737 ( -800,-900 ) and the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies and they are GREAT products for use in Microsoft Flight Simulator. I would have to say that the Level-D 767 and the PMDG 747-400 are definitely the best for FS2004 because of the realism and good documentation. However, unlike the Level-D 767, the PMDG 747-400 has a separate FMC manual with its regualar manual, both of which are about 60 pages long. A lot of information, but it's very general due to the fact that airlines don't like to give out such sensitive information because of things like 9/11 and such.
