Im unimpressed with the default panel of MS, and have a great B747-200 panel already from CLS.EricIf you REALLY want a 747-400, the CLS isn't so amazing stacked up to another companies offerings with regards to realism ;). http://precisionmanuals.comSince you asked specifically about freeware though, the Ifly 747 is the best around for realism in that market. the Posky is the best visually.
November 29, 200916 yr Yes, but PMDG is far from freeware of course. I agree, the iFly panel is wonderful, with full CDU included, though I am not sure if anyone sorted out the frame rate problems with the 2D panel??Martin Martin Stebbing, EGLF (UK)

Im unimpressed with the default panel of MS, and have a great B747-200 panel already from CLS.EricHave to agree with others: PMDG payware is best way to go. Nothing else comes close. Forget freeware for the -400. Get the real thing.I have most CLS stuff including the 747-200 which is great.

I agree, the iFly panel is wonderful, with full CDU included, though I am not sure if anyone sorted out the frame rate problems with the 2D panel??Martin, I remember something about the panel background image, a black 1 x 1 bitmap. The solution was to enlarge it to, let's say, 1024 x 768 (that was my screen resolution when I flew the iFly 744). It's just a black image, the real panel is fully contained in the gauges.

December 1, 200916 yr Hi. Thanks for the reply. I did try changing the size of that bitmap a year or so a go, I remember the 'fix' being posted somewhere (haven't flown the iFly 747 for several months now) and nothing happened, but I can try it again. Thanks for the reminder,martin Martin Stebbing, EGLF (UK)
December 1, 200916 yr PMDG.. simple. The CLS is a -200, and looking good, it is very 'lite' and the fuel panels is not working correctly.The best solution would be RFP panel with lets say a POSKY.. but need a lot of work on the FDE.Johan
