747 Classic Progress
-
It's been a long time since the last time your pics came out, could you guys release the latest pics?
-
Especially some pics about AP, INS and ILS
-
Are we going to see this plane this year?
-
@Captain-Bakon I'd be relatively optimistic in thinking there will probably be a release within the year. I however would prefer that the product wasn't rushed in order to ensure the aircraft is as polished as it realistically can be so that we can get all the more enjoyment out of it when it eventually does release.
-
Hi all, have you had any thoughts on just using GSX integration? That would be really neat.
-
@Captain-Bakon Yes you will, the team are working hard very hard and good progress is being made, hope the wait won't be too much longer for you.
-
@cmcloughlin You'll have the option of both.
-
Hey Voice of Reason, do you have any more pictures of the night cockpit for us? it's been a while and the last ones were taken early WIP.

great news :-)
-
@Captain-Bakon Will get some sorted for you this coming week
-
@Voice-of-Reason hey any updates? I've really been wanting to fly this especially the cargo version for soo long now
-
JF any updates? You said you would provide us some pictures. Can we expect to see the plane initiral RC this summer even?

Yes :thumbs_up:
-
It will be out this summer for sure?

@Noob21 It would certainly be a wonderful aircraft to have in FS2020 assuming it's feasable to port it - then again I reckon I'm going to rack up many hours bussing the Cathay -200 model between Taipei and Kai Tak in P3Dv4 so I can wait plenty of time before that!
-
@SimeonWilbury My guess is it is reasonably feasible to port, especially from P3D considering the FSX framework that FS2020 is built off of, but we obviously won't know until JF gets a handle on the SDK and we get a more public view of FS2020's files to see just how much of a change the aircraft system is. It could be as easy as a flight model redux, or as difficult as having to rewrite the code for the model in it's entirety. I certainly hope it's an easy endeavor though.

Now I'm not part of the development team at Just Flight but I can pretty much guarantee that that's not going to be the case. Experience tells me otherwise, these things are never quite as simple as you and we would hope. My educated guess would be and it'll vary product to product of course but perhaps it'll lie somewhere between your first two suggestions. Pure guesswork at the moment though until the team have a little more dedicated time to start experimenting and looking into this further. We're eager for them to be able to do that but one or two priorities stand in the way just at the moment. Cheers.

The good news is that they stated they are eager to support it! So, while it may not be easy to do, they definitely have the desire to bring certain products over to MSFS2020. Where there is a will, there is a way. I believe we will see the 747 in MSFS at some point. At least I hope so, because I don’t intend on buying P3D v5 or re-installing v4.
