Thanks for a great plane! Here a few items from an ex 1011 AME:

1) Flowbars only light up when there is actual flow not because the switch is latched

2) Autopilot cannot fly an approach and landing

3) Auto thrust does not change from TM to AT upon altitude capture and there is no way to set a Mach speed target in cruse flight. Mach target does work on descent.

4) APU always starts in "Max" mode. IRL the APU start in min mode and can be switched to normal. Max mode is spring loaded and must be held. the APU goes to max mode automatically upon opening of a start valve.

5) Overhead panel should indicate "fail" on all PFC and auto switched when hydraulic pressure is absent

6) Hydraulic ATMs are always on. IRL on auto mode they only activate during high demand hydraulic loading. Also using the electric pumps, hydraulic pressure is very slow to build.
