747 Classic Progress

But no one will take it seriously. If it actually does get released.
Not true. I will. :slightly_smiling_face:

Agreed.
I admit that I get frustrated sometimes with the ticket system here... hey, I was banned for a week (!)... but JF aircraft get better all the time.
If this guy tried the BAe 146, he wouldn't be criticising the "not yet released" 747-200.
The BAe is pretty darn good... and will be EVEN better once the original FMS/UNS 'thingey' is released.
Really hands on stuff... as will be the 747 Classic.

Some of us prefer quality simulators. Some of us dont. :)
And if its in MSFS, it wont be quality. :)

Hello! Are there any screenshots or even a video of this project?
Tks
RafaelThe only images we have were of the P3D version, which was cancelled. Nothing new since then, I am afraid.

There was a statement from Just Flight during a FSElite interview that there would be news about the 747 project „quite soon and hopefully during the expo“. That was three months ago.
Do you have any news regarding the status or future of the project?No. Not at the moment. There should be news about this project at some point, but, currently, nothing to report.

Dude you’re such a clown. I’m a real world ATP with types in the B1900, ATR, A320, and 747-400. Not a single Level-D full motion simulator (which costs $20+ million) which is FAA certified as a 1-to-1 substitute for the real airplane behaves like real life. You can’t fly a Level-D like the real thing, or try to land it as such. MSFS is a quality product and provides superior realism in so many ways compared to what commercial operators use for training and proficiency. If you rented an airline sim you’d be very disappointed, beyond having the exact cockpit replica. Theres no consumer simulator that’s ever going to be perfect, but a ‘study-level’ product which completely reproduces how the real airplane operates like the JF’s 146, or any PMDG or Fenix product is a screaming bargain at under $100. Sure, MSFS has certain quirks, but like I said the Level-D sims have many of the same oddities, and are often harder to land ‘realistically’ (depends on the type). And frankly, most real world pilots never see an engine failure or anything red procedure in a whole career. Devs like JF could leave out all failure modeling and it would still be realistic.
So yeah, I’m really looking forward to seeing the 747 Classic in MSFS because it’s going to be more than good enough. Better than spending millions to find a 747-100, return it to airworthiness, find a crew, and pay for the gas to go fly the thing around for the novelty of it

I hate this false perception a lot of P3D users desperately clinging to the sim have that MSFS is this game with no actual sim value, when that’s a far cry from the truth. There may be some dumbing down for some products for Xbox users, but almost universally developers are going for even higher quality products than for P3D. P3D is a dying sim, justifiably so, built on ancient code, and any development groups continuing to develop for it are holding themselves back. I for one cannot wait for the 747 in MSFS, especially seeing the marked quality difference between the A300 planned for P3D, and the A300 currently in development for MSFS. The bar has been raised significantly, and I’m very happy to see it.
