It say this on the PMDG product page for the soon to be released 747-8i and so I would like some clarification on one thing in particular.Does the underlined section of the quote above mean that this will only have the same range as the 747-400X? Because I would really love to have this as an aircraft to fly very long flights in. Flights that are further than the the 747-400 can do.Sorry if I sound a little dumb. But if the answer is that its range is the same as the 744. Then I don't think I would buy it. BTW. It really does look awesome!Thanks.MarkEDIT: Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

It's just a new dress on the old girl: whatever the 747-400 does (in terms of performance, etc.) is exactly what this will do.

Thanks for clarifying that for me Jeff.As it turns out, I decided to buy it anyway. I love it. I have no regrets in buying it. :( Mark

I see that too on initial load when switching views, it quickly fills in though!!Tom

Performance is increased over the original 744 both internal and external as promised, but still not as good as with the MD-11. All shots taen at the same runway at KTPA, clear weather, and no traffic. All other settings are the same I always use which is Extremely dense Scenery, dense Autogen, and 2Xlow water.Great addition though to my 747 fleet!!!MD-11747-400F747-8fTom

Great work PMDG, and im loving the BA livery on the 748 :(
