      That is some delicious looking night lighting. Can’t wait for more images. Hopefully we can get some images of the GE and RR liveries as well.

          Just saw the pics of the night lighting just one question: will there be a way to control the brightness or is it on/off?

            We'll be releasing a number of livery packs for the 747, so I'm sure we'll cover British Caledonia in one of those.

            Each lighting circuit is independently controllable and fully dimmable. It's powered by the latest version of RealLight.

              Is July a good month for the initial release?

                That sounds optimistic at least and unreal at most. My guess is late August, early-mid September.

                  No, not realistic. Not too long after that but no firm news on release just yet.

                  Thanks for your interest.

                    I've been told in the 2nd post we will be seeing it this summer.

                      I'd imagine as with any development process things like timings are subject to change. It's difficult for a developer to give a firm date on any FS platform.

                        @Captain-Bakon Definitely the intention. Does Indian Summer count though? :)

                        Joking aside, it's getting there, still a fair amount to get done, tested, redone...I'm sure you can imagine....

                              Lots of progress made in a variety of areas. We'll be sharing new pictures soon.

                                I just saw the new pictures posted on your facebook, I guess a July release is out of the equation, will it be released next month?

                                  Unfortunately we won't be committing to a particular release date or period at this stage. We'll be sure to share that information here when it is available though.

                                    @Martyn Great job on the main instrument panel textures. That really has come along and it looks so realistic. I can’t wait to try this aircraft in VR. We’ve waited years for this version of the 747 and I think it’s going to be worth the wait.

                                      I guess it’s not coming this summer, that is a MASSIVE bummer :(

                                        These systems are coded outside of the sim and are able to utilise multi-core threading to keep any performance hit negligible.
                                        The systems have only just gone out to the beta testers. At the moment it's not possible to accurately gauge performance as the model won't be optimised until the end of development.

                                        Also love the new cabin screenshots you uploaded, is the cockpit connected to the cabin so we can walk around in flight?

                                        It's not part of the VC model as that's not good for performance. You can however walk around it freely, but you'll initially access it as one of the pre-defined camera views (alongside the normal wing, nose, gear external views).

                                        Hi.

                                        1.Does this mean the engine is similar to that of the Dash 8 ? That works outside the sim essentially giving us an extra 1 or 2 cores worth of work, and enabling remarkable performance.

                                        1. Is it the case that the instruments have no backlighting ?

                                        2. Just got an ITVV DVD of the classic. Not the best video but quite a few interesting insights.

                                        Does the classic have an autothrottle and autoland capability... ? It wasn't mentioned in the video.

                                        Thnx.

                                        Cash ready BTW !
