I'm surprised nobody is talking about the comments section-there's always interesting stuff down there, like more details on the IFDs and MU procedures. Sounds like DTG will actually be giving some attention to MFDs for one in a lifetime. Though what all the 'multiple display modes' actually means is not clear, at least something is there! They also bothered to mention DPU fencing which will not be in because they don't know how an engineer would control it (neither do I), and about having DPUs connected by radio and not by cable. Apparently, you can turn off the radio and control rear train DPUs like the old days-using an entire second crew (great for multiplayer operations)! I'm probably going to check out the AC4400CW first after release to check out all this work.
