    I was thinking maybe if Just Flight can release the 747 now as a open beta or early access, paid of course.

    I see other devs doing this and I think it's a great way to get the community involved in development, expand the testing pool to catch more bugs so the final product will be near bug-less.

    @Captain-Bakon No we won't be doing that with the 747. We have several testers actively checking each new build so we're covered in that respect.

        Just a question, will the new model you guys are working on look more like the real thing? as in the JT9Ds having a upward angle when mounted on the wings?

        These engines are mounted upwards a bit when looking at photos of the -200.

          Hello

          I assume the lack of updates even the pics indicates you guys are busy working on fixing the plane?

          Is late December a realistic window for release?

            Let them work on it! It'll be ready when it's ready - much better than them setting a date and missing it, or worse yet releasing an unfinished product.

                All

                It won't be released in 2019. Looking like early 2020 now. We do hope to be able to start sharing screens and videos come December time, that's our aim anyway.

                Apologies for the delay with this one.

                      Ok thanks. Suits me anyway. Too risky at this stage.

                          I agree, the updates do look nice. However the lower cargo doors still seem to have the wrong opening angle.

                            @Voice-of-Reason When you guys say early next year, do you mean January or February?

                                @Captain-Bakon Could be either. Both sit in the 'Early next year' category.

                                  @Voice-of-Reason I'm sorry if this has already been asked multiple times, but how much would this bird cost once released? Very excited can't wait for the new year to fly this thing!

                                    @alexsoany Will announce the pricing early January hopefully.

                                      @Voice-of-Reason I did already leave a source on the opening angle of the cargo doors in another thread, but I’ll leave it here as well, it’s a pretty straightforward example. https://www.atclogistic.net/air-freighter-specification/
