747 Classic Progress
-
We added some pics to the Product page a while ago showing the effects off, here are a few of the examples and more can be found on the product page.
-
It's looking good, how is progress going? can we get a video of the cockpit sounds?
-
I'm still REALLY hoping this gets initial release this month, I just want to flip through the buttons and switches to see what is functional.
What percentage of the entire cockpit is functional? 80% 90%?
-
@Captain-Bakon I would personally prefer that it is released as a finished product (excluding any potential future development of course), granted there will inevitably be bugs that appear after release which will require the odd patch but a fully-functional aircraft on release is nice to have nonetheless.
I nonetheless share your hopes though! From next month I'll be abroad for the next 3-4 months so hopefully I'll be able to do a few flights before I leave, even if that isn't the case though I'll look forward to giving the aircraft a try when I get home.

@SimeonWilbury
As for as I'm concerned, an unfinished product with some bugs is acceptable, as long as bugs can be repaired and the functions can be completed in further updates. What really matters is that I'm leaving home for school months later, where I have to run the p3d on my laptop without stick or yoke. I totally understand your preference, however, for me the sooner the better.It's just now that the Microsoft announced the release date of the new MSFS, I wonder whether we can get the 747cl before the MSFS.
-
@centurion88 I certainly hope so, didn't JF say they are in the final phase now?
-
@Captain-Bakon Not sure we said that but maybe we did and if so it's not far off the truth but remember that final phase is usually the most unpredictable in terms of work, tasks, tweaking, testing, tweaking again etc. A lot of the early coding and modelling is much easier to forecast in terms of a timeline for it, the final 'phase' not quite so straightforward though. Thanks for your continued interest, trying our very best to be able to give more news within the coming weeks.

@Oskar3058 Yep you're perhaps right, some will wait for it to be on that platform, some might not, we shall see. All of that hasn't escaped us, rest assured.

@Voice-of-Reason
More pics and vids plz. It has been a long time since the latest pictures were released. -
I guess it is coming next month, I wonder how close we are to a release canidate.
-
@Captain-Bakon When you find out please let us know. :) Seriously, we're getting there but no guarantees on dates still from us at the moment. There will be some new pics and some small development updates over the coming days with some narrative to them. Mainly on Social Media and then on our website.
-
There's a small development update on our Facebook page now if you wanted to take a look, some text and accompanying pictures make up the post.
-
JF PLEASE tell me there is a high chance of it being released this month. I really want to fly the classic again! Last time was the CLS version 8 years ago and it was nowhere as good as this one!
-
@Captain-Bakon I don't think there's a high chance, a chance perhaps but a slender one rather than high I'd say.
-
How is development on the 747 Classic going? I hope it didn't stall!
-
It is said that the JF 146 Professionl is coming late this year and a dem video has been released. I wonder how close is it from the release of 747cl. A video demonstrating the sounds or other effects would be great if the product is finished enough.
-
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.
