63mb....looks good!


Nice find Tamiami

That looks pretty awesome. The systems look good too. Freeware with FMC, TCAS etc. is really great.

gonna try it out, wonder if it eats out pmdg's? the file size looks about the same.  

Perhaps a Panel Merge From PMDG with this model? though does the model look right?

Anyway, great release for freeware !!!!

well it had the same qualitys as the PMDG 747 and then a freeware compagny makes one, about same size... i dunno but it is very very weird!

Wow, my dream come true! Nice find man!   

[767Guy]

I like their logo

Im serioudly starting to think they uploaded this by mistake, it is detailed to the whistles ! Flys like a real 747. The VC is great and I only notice a -2 -1 FPS hit.

You know this how? Are you telling me your a real airline pilot? Wow haha

But lol, it's going to be fun testing it out though, does it have dynamic wing flex when u go up and down like the pmdg does? does anything from the aircraft.cfg have same info looking like a copy and paste job from pmdg or posky?

Im super glad something like this is out, but i just find it very hard how people would dedicate so much time and effort for something free, are there people that nice? if so i love them

I'm downloading at 23 kb/sec on Avsim, anyone else experiencing slow d/ls?

[767Guy]

yup 23.6 for me too, i guess we are all busy downloading it... jeez peoeple stop downloading

I don't think this is a PMDG ripoff. The two panels have subtle differences, and the VC and external model are VASTLY different. The VC on this freeware plane is nowhere near the quality of PMDG's, but you can't beat the price! Very nice airplane; never saw a freeware with a decent FMC.

Ive flown in a 747 sim. And all the pilots i know, say the sim is like the real thing. So does that count ?

[767Guy]

I guess you are right, but u know, it's funny how the file size along with it's features are relatively close, i wonder if the same amount of effort has gone into it... 3 years ? rofl  

[Tamiami Pilot]

Can we expect some repaints from Lefteris and Robin for this bird ? And a difference i found between the panels is that the free one doesnt have the little bat that seperates the Captain and F/O windows.

[Joker]

OMG i'm gonna try this out

[Bill]

Tamiami: Where can you fly in those real simulators? I wanna check it out.
