Great news. Can this company get any better?

:DI honestly dont think it canwell actually, if they were more speedy yes ;).Oh wow, that has really really filled me with excitement,Please please Robert, will you tell us when it is going to be slotted in,, after the dash, the ngx or the 777??#Alex

That is great to hear (read). I did notice he said "-400" and not -8 though. For myself it doesn't matter since my childhood favorite was and still is the -400, but the -8 has "grown" on me quite a bit.

Gents-Will the PMDG 747-400 get an all-over rebuild? Absolutely...When? Stay tuned.

First buyer for that :D

@turbine777i think the sad reality of the matter is,,i doubt we will really see many 748 pax varients, i think the -400 is the perfect focus for pmdg, i guess after the 777?

:(.....Just making it as FPS friendly as the MD-11 would make me happy, looking forward to it!

Yeah, I highly agree, both with Alex's and Dan's comments.

Couldn't have hoped to find anything better on Avsim today Robert, thanks!

The 747-8F and if the 747-8i goes into full production, Will use 787Dreamliner GEnx2B engines. If you check the website newairplane.com all the need to know information is their about the new engine design.:(

Robert, thank you.Most sincerely,Brian

Just want to reply and say that we do NOT consider the 747 to be a product that's lacking in the systems simulation department, unlike parts of the old NG. The 747 is significantly more developed, particularly in the VNAV and really deep failure modelling, system interdependencies etc. The 747 received several service packs that added a lot of functionality too, we did more modelling stuff when the 400X was developed and then patched those features into the FS9 version too. We still think it's the best simulation of the 400 there is and aside from the fact that it's showing it's age graphically a bit, there's nothing we're unhappy with in it as far as the actual systems go. Can we make it better? Of course, and we will when we make the new one, but it should not be lumped in with the old NG.

great news. can't wait. many thanks for the update Robert.happy flyin, Tim Wheeler

I have been pretty addicted to the MD-11 since I got it, but owning the 747-400x for a couple years before that was mind blowing learning something new all the time in it. In fact there's still a lot I'm sure I never touched on but for me anyway, the 400x is a hall of famer, no doubt!I think thats why so many want to see a new one (Me included). It's been my favorite AC since I was a kid, but for many it's probably theirs from being their first great modeled AC.For me a new one is for better fps, newer VC, newer failure gen, and maybe possibly some nude stewardesses. Maybe just one, posing on the pogo stick or something :)

well said Dan. the PMDG747 Is the Best without a doubt.happy flyin, Tim Wheeler

Why have only one when you can have two for twice the price.

Will it have cpdlc functionality?!!!!!
