>They've said that it will be framerate friendly so perhaps>the small size of download is an indication of the techniques>they've used to keep it detailed, yet small and therefore>framerate friendly (I hope :))That also crossed my mind. Perhaps there is a correlation between the small download size and frame rate friendliness.Michael J.

Does the game come with a free DVD of a 747 flight with real pilots talking you through proceedures etc. Do we get any video clips with the game :)I know you guys allready have your hands full but it would just be the icing on the cake for this product. (I'd even pay more for it too) ;)

It is hard to beat this DVD featuring real pilots, real 744, real flight and real procedures.Michael J.

I agree Michael,The ITVV Virgin Atlantic 747-400 DVD is fantastic and should be MANDATORY viewing for anyone who wants to take a serious approach to real world procedures. The price may seem high but in fact it is a bargain for the quality you receive.I wonder how many maiden PMDG744 flights will be Heathrow to San Francisco?Also if you order from their own site they have fast delivery. I ordered on a Monday and received on a Saturday, and that's half way around the world!

I was trying to convince Randy that it should be mandatory viewing for any 744 beta tester who is not a real 744 driver. ;)>Also if you order from their own site they have fast delivery.>I ordered on a Monday and received on a Saturday, and that's>half way around the world!Mine also arrived very fast to the yet another side of the world - California.Michael J.

Must have been delivered on the "Queen" Small download must mean flies fast.

HiSorry, maybe this question was mentioned before!But will there be a boxed version of the B747-400?I hope so!Best RegardsMichael

I think most of the games have boxed versions...only a few decades later then the download version. :(

Thanks for the update sounds great succes with the beta ;-)Andr

Hi!Great to hear it's coming along good. What about the virtual cabin. Will there be one? Will it be two decks as in the real thing or is the model already maxed out too much for that? Will there be a cargo version of the 744 later on?CheersFred
