747 Classic Progress
-
@Captain-Bakon Work continues at pace but a release this month is probably unlikely. We shall see though.
-
So October or November is a safe bet? Rich said it should be out before the end of the year is that correct?

That's correct - Rich did say that.
-
Are you guys changing the windows on the fuselage to be smaller and the engine nacelles for the JT9Ds?
-
@Captain-Bakon Yes to both of them.
-
Can you guys show us the new model please?
-
It's been a while since we've seen an update, before they used to give us updates weekly but it's been a month and nothing.
-
@Captain-Bakon You'll see some new shots soon. Some bigger issues to sort over the last few weeks and it's not a simple job so it was impossible to supply new pics day after day. Stand by though we hope to have some new shots to show this coming week.
-
@Voice-of-Reason So will you guys keep the cockpit dimensions the same? it's perfect the way you guys have it! Too many devs back then made the mistake of making the windows too big in the flight deck but you guys nailed it perfectly!
-
@Captain-Bakon Yes, that won't be changing.
-
@Voice-of-Reason So what exactly did Just Flight change to the model?
-
@Captain-Bakon Exterior mods to the model and a few other smaller things. You'll see soon enough.
-
@Voice-of-Reason Is there going to be release October or November?
-
Do you have ANY beta testing spots open for the 747? I never had beta testing experience but I want to test your 747 especially since Im a long time hardcore systems simmer. I have quite a bit of experience on both the A320 & 747-400 from well-known developers.
-
Looking at the description I say you guys are going for the study level classic which is great, can you confirm your going study level?
Since it’s going to be study level what is the price range?
Also you guys said it would include like avionics cooling fan and AC pack sounds right?
I want to see the new model can you please post some pictures?

The absolute thirst lmao
I think it's best to just let the devs be and get on with what they need to do. I remember when I was a teenager I similarly harassed them for answers, but it just makes the wait for the product so much longer. It's ready when it's ready, after all.
Though I do have a request, I would love to hear a sample of the JT9Ds or RB211s if possible.
In addition, I wanted to put in a request - could the manuals on things like takeoff performance, EPR, cruise etc be in charts and tables, akin to the documents from the Aerosoft DC-8? I like Just Flight manuals, but i find with analogue aircraft some performance data is lacking.
Also - I asked similarly re the JF VC-10 but it never came to be, but I would hope it would differ for the 747 classic - could you guys make some profiles for simbrief? It would be enormously useful, especially as I imagine this product would be quite popular.
Anyway, that's all from me, and I have no doubt I'll be a keen user!

Its almost the end of the week, any updates JF?
-
JF have been at the Flight Sim Show in Cosford all weekend. I suspect that it'll take a day or so for normal service to resume. You can search on YouTube however for a recording of the seminar given by JF on the 747. May answer some questions you may have. It also should give you an insight into what goes into the development of a product such as the 747 and what you'll be getting in terms of level of detail with this release.
