BCF BDSF model

Hi Hardy,
I know it's an old topic. I also realise that the simmer request is often far from the software programmer work/requirements. However, this is my proposal:
The basis model for BCF is 400F. This new model should be selected in the instructor page / Airframe / Aircraft model: Freighter BCF.
According to my FCOM readings (BCF effectivity), these are the differencies I saw:
- Doors: The nose cargo must be withdrawn (Closing/opening animation and door EICAS synoptic). Upper deck service door must be replaced by 2 upperdeck doors (similar to PAX model). I dont know about Caution / Advisory messages generated by malfuntions, CBs trip off, CMC...
- Air sytems: The crew rest must be withdrawn from ECS EICAS synoptic. Same remarks than above concerning crew rest messages.
- Fire protection / Lower cargo: 2 fire extinguisher bottles must be added (E & F). They discharge the same way that bottles C & D.
- Communication / Interphone panel: Red INOP stickers are installed above U/D , crew rest left and crew rest right push/button switches.
I am sure I forget things...

I concur, a BCF/BDSF model would be great!

Do you have the wiring schematics for the BCF?

It's impossible to model an aircraft type without these. PSX certainly wasn't.
