@Raptor:
Pilots are free to do whatever they want, manuals thought explain in detail the mfd’s configuration per missions and loaded weapons. Some rl brains worked on these to analyse all options and conclude to the best options as a standard default. As I heard from an old viper pilot FCR is selected to display on the left mfd in order to more easily press any buttons as and to align (in mind) with the mouse cursor on the throttle.
Yup
The primary logic in setting up the MFDs is to keep MFD pages in the same position as much as possible. The setup should optimize standard setup and allow hands-on operation during time-critical periods.In addition, this allows the brightness and contrast of MFD pages to be optimized for each specific sensor.
