Hi Jackie,There has been a post on the B748i sub-forum with details on lowering the texture size of this bird. I have a 768M card and it made a big difference. Bruce.

Thanks Bruce will try and find that thread

When can we expect to see more screenshots?Thanks,Josh Katz

Thanks Bruce will try and find that thread

It was stated a few months back that the 737 would be released in Mid-2010, but I guess that has changed. I read on the Wiki i think that it is now going to be released sometime in 2010 and not in Mid 2010, with that being said that would push the released of the T7 too because the 737 dev team is the same team doing the T7. Just making sure everyone knows what going on. This information is current as of Feb 20th 2010.

And we said when that video was posted that those were our internal target timeframes, not some "promise" or "statement" of any firm release dates. As with any past product we've ever done, we reserve the right to change those internal targets at any time. We're going to release when we're satisfied with the airplane, not at any specific date.

Ryan, any new screenshots coming our way?Thanks,Josh Katz

100% off topic, but in my point of view you're very lucky that you have the luxury to do this! How nice it'd feel if I didn't have all these nutbreaking clients requiring everything "yesterday" and of course very cheap, but very correct!Lucky PMDG people :( (any vacancy? no programmer, IT or whatever but a fast learner... can make good coffee too) LOL :( Just do what you always do and nomatter when she comes out we'll get 'er. Just make sure your server is fit for the release date!

http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?s=&...t&p=1711593All credits go to ASHWATH, I just copy. BTY I used his technique (which is rediculously easy to do) but have not tested it extensively. From a quick look it seems to be working quite well. DO NOT FORGET TO BACKUP!!!"Step 1: Download DxtBmp software and Paint.net software (this is what I used) and install them. Just google it for the download link. Both are free.Step 2: Open DxtBmp. In the right hand pane, you will see a small square icon. Click that and set Paint.net to be your default editor (browse to find where you installed paint.net).Step 3: Now go to your \simobjects\airplanes\PMDG 747-400 folder and open the texture folder of any 747-8 aircraft. There will be a file called PMDG_748i (for intercontinental version). Make a backup of this first.Step 4: Open the file in DxtBmp and click on Alpha->Export alpha channel. Save the file to your desktop and name it as alpha or something.Step 5: Click on Image->Send To Editor. The image will open in Paint.net.Step 6: Once the image has opened in Paint.net click on Image->Resize. Change the width and height to 1024 pixels and click OK.Step 7: Click File->Save As. Save the image as a DDS file with the name PMDG_748i. Make sure you save it in \simobjects\airplanes\PMDG 747-400\whatever texture folder you opened in step 3. Overwrite the file. (Hope you made a back up).Step 8: Click Ok and select DXT5 (interpolated alpha) under file format and save it. Don't change any other options.Step 9: Open this new file with DxtBmp and select Alpha->Import alpha channel, and select the alpha file you saved on your desktop.Step 10: Now save this file in the same folder, i.e. \simobjects\airplanes\PMDG 747-400\whatever texture folder you opened in step 3.Voila!!! you've got 1024 textures now with transparent windows and hopefully no more messed up textures. You have to do this for each livery separately. If you feel 1024 is also too much, resize it to 512x512. Experiment. That's it."Of course you can do this procedure for 2048 or 512 textures. Trial and error will show what's good for you!

I agree. I've got plenty of aircraft for FS9.

This is the plane I'm waiting for so I can finally make the switch to FSX :). Can't wait!-Peter Allen

When can we expect some new screenshots?

I would like to see some WIP screenshots as well, Aerosoft have been indulging us with many pictures of their Airbus.

whats about a few vc screenshots? (of cause the exterior would be great to if it's already finished)
