It's still 60s technology. The overhead panel is almost identical to the -200. Why do I still have to turn off/on the packs manually to start the engines? Why doesn't the fuel balance itself? There are caution lights scattered all over the place, instead of on an EICAS. The temperature probe for the cabin is located inside an overhead bin, good luck trying to keep the F/A's happy...and what's with the "OFF" position on the gear lever?

It is fun to fly though.
