Why not...There is nothing else going on anywhere :(

Maybe something they are considering WAY in the future.

plus, look at the join date: December 5th 2009. and the name? Plane Spotter. Seems like a tongue-in-cheek from PMDG to me.Sam Cowan

I don't believe it. Just the paint reapplied

Yeah,That's weird,For some reason the 2 vids I was refering to were pulled,They showed the plane landing @ Boston Logan.One from a far away roof top,the other next to the runway by some fire equipment.Did anyone else see those?

Yes, I watched them all last evening. The one from far was had you standing on a boat and the one with the fire equipment showed it taxing buy.

Not to be picky but its 747-8 , not 747-800 ;)

That's only because the 00's are silent :(

It looks too good to be fake but I still don't think PMDG's making a 747-81. The 747-8 is too new, and lacks real-world performance data2. The 747-8 is 20 years newer than the 744, which means they are probably very different in the cockpit (They didn't even make the 744ER)3. The 747-8 isn't very popular in the real world, PMDG knows everyone wants a 777 not a 7484. Their schedule is full until 2012, so a 737NG then a Dash-8 (then probably a 777 or A320)

FAKE Move along people, nothing to see.

If you read up on it you'll see there aren't actually that many differences between the -400 and -800 cockpit. Certainly not so many that it couldn't be adapted from the existing -400 model. Could certainly be an easy little project for PMDG that wouldnt take much time away from the NG2 and Dash. Agree whit your comments regarding performance data though.

Boeing fly's their new planes based on projected performance data, why not PMDG. They can always update it later if the data changes much. Got my fingers crossed.Jeff P.
