747 Classic Progress
-
Just looking to see if there’s any possible updates, and if some blatant model errors(omnipresent left upper deck door, missing upper deck door windows, wing slat shape, engine models) are being rectified, and a bit more information on included things, like if there will be a 2 or 3 autopilot option, or just 3 now, if there will be a tape gauge option for the cockpit, and what variants of the engines will be available. Specifically what JT9D variants for the -100 and -200, I’ve seen some screenshots show the JT9D-7R4G2, but I was curious if the actual modeled variant would be a more common variant, like the -7J or -7Q.

@noob21 Now that are making good progress with the systems coding again, the entire project is currently going through a review and upgrade process to bring everything up to the latest standards and to ensure that the visual detail and accuracy matches the study-level depth of those systems. Once we've finished that review, early next year, then we'll be sure to update you all here on those upgrades and improvements, including new screenshot and video previews.

@martyn Alright then, I’ll await those updates patiently. If there’s any need for references or scrutiny on the model, I’d be happy to help, though I can’t claim any REAL experience with the 747 sadly, just enthusiasm and a fair bit of learned knowledge from the internet and visual references.

@martyn It's great to hear progress is being made. Hopefully you guys can incorporate some customization like Leonardo Software did in the MD-80 on things like types of gauges and such. (I personally prefer the round type over tape.)

@cptkiddapi I would also find this fun, I definitely hope there’s tape gauges as a variant, but more specific cockpits like KSSU style and so on would also be quite neat. That said I can be very much happy with just tape gauges vs round and 2 autopilots vs 3.

Possible in 2022? -
I saw this on the comments section of one of JF's recent facebook posts, thought that people on here who don't check there would appreciate the update:
"We've covered this elsewhere but the 747 is undergoing visual upgrades and we're in the final stages of aircraft systems coding, which were long-delayed due to the circumstances of the previous coder. We expect to be in a position to share new previews in the next or two, and then regularly after than up until release."
Looking forward to seeing the previews!

@simeonwilbury
To be honest, meanwhile I do not believe anymore in a release of the 747 classic.Just Flight meanwhile has the nickname "Just Preview".
@bodom You're very much free to hold that belief.
I meanwhile choose to hold the belief that good things take time. I'm more than happily flying the -400 around the world in the meantime.
I would have been more disappointed if the 747 Classic had released a year ago as a sub-standard product than I will be if it takes another 6 months to a year (or longer) to release as a polished simulation. Even if there is never a P3D release I haven't parted with any cash, so no material loss on my part.
I look forward to seeing any previews that are/ may be upcoming; and indeed to hopefully being able to get my hands on the controls in time.

Any progress on this project?
It is still in development at the moment:
https://www.justflight.com/product/747-classic
Nothing new to show from the last few months of work apart from many lines of code which don't make for exciting updates. As soon as we have anything for public consumption we will release more news. In the meantime you can stay updated on all our development news by signing up to receive news updates from Just Flight and Just Trains here:

Nice to hear development is still ongoing
Apologies for leaking it onto this thread, but since I recieved no reply on the other forum I'm curious as to where the A300 is at the moment? Hopefully the testing & bugfixing is going well, though understandable if recent releases have distracted from it somewhat.

Hello Derek,
more than a year ago there were previews of an almost finished product or at least what looked almost completed.Then you mentioned that the developer of the gauge coding left or somehow not any longer motivated to fiish the systems? Then the team was replaced and JF announced the whole code must be "reviewed". This was last year in May.
What does that mean? Does it mean the former programmer did not authorized JF to use the existing code? If yes, does it mean anything had to be coded from scratch? Othewise I cannot explain myself the ongoing long delay....
