I think I'm happy that I got the 747-400 manual from the download section
of PMDG's website before it also got closed down!
In that manual the use of the FMC is thoroughly explained.
From the first glance it looks like the same unit the 737NG is equipped
with, with the exception that the FMC in the 747-400 has a few options the
737NG 600-700 doesn't have.
The zip is 8MB. If you want it by e-mail, just tell me where to mail it to.
The whole PDF is quite an interesting read.
It looks a lot like Tim Metzinger's PMDG737NG manual combined with the
paper PSS747-400 manuals.
