The warning and advisory system of the [[Boeing 747-400]] has been dramatically improved. The new system is derived from the [[Boeing 777-200ER|777-200ER]]'s but has been finetuned for the 744. | The warning and advisory system of the [[Boeing 747-400]] has been dramatically improved.

==== Eurofighter Typhoon ==== | |||
Algernon is planning to publish a new alpha release of the ongoing Eurofighter Typhoon project. This will coincide with the next release of FlightGear, and will only be compatible with that new version - some code is used which is not backwards compatible (development of the aircraft for version 2.0 and earlier is not currently taking place, and may not be resumed if FGFS 2.4 is widely adopted). New features include a revised flight control system and autopilot, improved Multi-Function Displays and HUD (good approximations of the real aircraft), and a pared-down Manual Data Entry panel which gives mouse control over navigation systems, autopilot, radar and communications equipment. More comprehensive information of the systems found in the upcoming release can be found in the [[Eurofighter_Typhoon:_Flight_Manual|Flight Manual article]]. | |||

The [[livery database]]'s functionality has been extended. Visitors can now finetune the looks of the livery and aircraft lists. One can choose between a text only, or a image only layout. Besides that the number of liveries to be shown per page can be set. | The [[livery database]]'s functionality has been extended. Visitors can now finetune the looks of the livery and aircraft lists.
