747 Classic where you at?

@looth said in 747 Classic where you at?:

I would like to know from just flight themselves about what happened to the 747 Classic that was being developed for p3d almost 3 years ago
I hope it’s not entirely dead, because the progress looked jaw dropping on p3d. I’d just like some kind of hint or confirmation that it’ll come to msfs? I’m sure a LOT of people would love it

We cancelled the project in October 2022. Since then we have been looking into the feasibility of using the code to do a version for MSFS. That process is ongoing and when we are able to make a firm announcement, one way or another, we will do so.

@derek thank you soo much for the quick reply! I would love to see a 747 Classic come from you guys even more than from PMDG, because your modeling and animation and even the sounds are just absolutely perfect! I shall patiently wait for the queen of the skies from you guys!

I second that! I bought the Justflight Bae146 because it has 4 engines 😄, so can't wait for the Justflight true 747 Queen on MSFS!

@airifr
So is the 747 classic for MSFS still under Development or did they abandon it ?

airifr

@md11 It's still in development, Justflight is keeping it silent.. like the a300b4... meaning they're busy or..?

Wondering about the status of the 747-200. Can JF re-purpose P3D code - which you said you were evaluating? Or, are you starting from scratch?

@UAL277

The 747 is currently behind other projects at the moment. We would still like to recoup our (substantial) investment in this project and release it for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
In terms of P3D code, there are bits that can be used and bits that are useless. We will hopefully be able to make a positive announcement about the 747 at some point. In the meantime, here are the projects we are currently working on:

Thanks for the quick response, Derek, much appreciated.

Thank you Derek. The queen of the skies has an allure no other plane can match if you ask me. I hope you guys will find the time to kick-start the project again soon!
