Now there is nose gear protection logic incorporated thanks to the larger engines and required clearance for those big fancy motors.



And now those big fancy motors take much longer to start, stabilize, and if the generators are turned on too quickly, the engine shuts down and requires a borescope.



Oh and if you thought you struggled getting down from altitude and making crossing restrictions with the NG, the max is much cleaner and has multiple engine idle speeds and requires an earlier descent or you will basically always be descending with speed brakes out.
