747 Classic Progress
-
I don't know about anyone else but I am starting to wonder if this thing is ever going to be released. Been a while since we have heard anything and still no video showcasing actual sounds or the cockpit in flight. Planning on getting it for P3D first anyway so I'm not too keen on waiting even longer for an FS2020 version. I hope I am wrong.
-
@CptKiddAPI Yeah they have been dark for a while, hopefully they are close to releasing since a summer release is a no go now. All we can hope for is wait and hope it gets released this year.

Hi guys,
The 747 team are zeroing in on the release now. The major systems are done and they just need another few weeks to finish off setting up things like switch sounds and miscellaneous systems. Keep an eye out for new pics this week as things like a polished set of liveries and a tailstand for the 200F have been added very recently. -
This is great news! maybe we can see the 747 this month possibly! Will there be more pics and a video of the cockpit and the sounds?
-
Well considering just how complex JF is making the systems, it’s probably going to take a decent amount of time to recode them for FS2020. I expect it to take 9-12 months after the P3D release to make it to FS2020, though I wouldn’t object to it being sooner than that.

@Rich will the 747 have advanced sounds such as air conditioning packs, avionics ventilation, etc?
-
I guess release is imminent now, it's close?
-
@Captain-Bakon No, not that close. Sorry to disappoint you, still fair bit to complete before it's ready.
-
@Voice-of-Reason It's a few weeks out right?
-
@Captain-Bakon Possibly longer depending on your definition of a 'few'. Truth is we can't give a date yet, not even an estimate, still fair bit to do and then tweak, fine-tune, test etc...
Thanks for your patience.

@Voice-of-Reason Well Rich said the 747 team is zeroing on the release so I thought it would be closer.

Yes, like the 146 the 747 will feature a detailed sound set including custom cockpit environment sounds.

Do you guys have any new pictures for us? I believe it was said it would be presented to us either last or this week!

We will try and sort some new pics and hopefully a video or two soon for you all. We'd hoped to have some new content for you to see by now but it's not been possible. We're not dodging the issue here, but want to ensure that when we have some new content for you all, that it's fresh new material, fit for airing, to show off progress and some new elements of the 747. Anything right this minute wouldn't look noticeably different to anything you've already seen. Rest assured, work, hard work continues on this and as soon as we can we'll show it off to you all.
In the meantime, thanks for your patience on this one, it's appreciated.
