Nobody can argue that.PMDG models are worth every penny paid for them. And this from a guy that have them all so far.

Hi All,PMDG...all I can say is that I have the real B744 manuels right here and THEY LOOK LIKE YOU'VE COPIED AND PASTED THEM>!!!!!WOW!!!THANX FOR THE HARDWORK YOU GUYS HAVE PUT INTO THIS:-wedge TOZZA :-wedgehttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpghttp://www.westairlines.com/images/WA%20Banner.jpg

Stunning manual! The ability to save the cockpit state with a MSFS situation is just magic - and the configurability of failures is exactly what I was hoping for.And 'Pause at TOD'!!Whoever thought of that deserves a pay raise! =)Best,Tim

Thanks for both the early released manuals and the info Robert, I'm sure this a/c will be amazing once reaching the gate.

I agree with you on that one Darren!

Thank you!The manual is fantastic. I can't wait to make my first flight in this beauty.Carl

Oh deary me! that's the longest taxiing I've ever seen - but be hold WHERE is my plane? have you seen it? it's a 747-400 A BIG PLANE I wonder if its behind that MD11 I see coming?????? ;-) Guess I'll have to keep looking.."This gets better N better"

Its looking good :) its taking me ages to read the manual cos I keep getting excited & hopping round the room. Everything is so real & accurate I can't wait to get my hands on this.The only thing that won't be accurate is the pilot :) he may possibly be under the influence, inexperienced and throwing sickies off work for the whole week :)- Phil

"If you happen to be standing at the gate waiting for your PMDG 747- she has landed and is taxiing to the gate. It won't be long now."That was three days ago. It must be either a monster of an airport, a very busy airport, a long way from the active to the gate or the pilot is lost.Andy b

...or maybe there's a newbie in the tower controlling the GND frequency...;-)

HiI`ll be waiting for it at gate W ;)Troy

Sorry if I missed this from the manual or if it has been mentioned before, but is there going to be a fuel calculator included upon release? I see a page in the configuration menus to set fuel, but no room for calculation.

My quick read shows a full page calculator pro forma that I intend to copy as worksheets. What a manual! For it all to make sense I will need, and I am sure they're on the way, a set of tutorial flights. If they are as good as the manual PMDG will train a whole generation of procedurally competent -400 flight crew. All we need now is some access to commercial full motion sims to clinch the experience.
