Hi, please include your first and last name in the body of the post here at the PMDG forums. The answer is yes you can purchase the 747X here:http://www.precisionmanuals.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=25&idcategory=13Only USD $54.99Free service update to v2.1 can be found here:http://downloads.precisionmanuals.com/file_library/servupd/PMDG747_400_FSX_2.10_Update.zipGood luck and enjoy.

But what he wants to know is if there is an update from FS9. Sorry, you have to buy the FSX version entirely.

Thanks Eric, I did not realize that both FS9 and FSX versions have different titles.

@ Robert HalmichWhat is the V2.1 freeware update? what does it do,i have the boxed so i think i have the latest version?

Hi Alex,You can verify which version you have by going to the 747X Aircraft.cfg and it will reference the version number. You are probably correct as the boxed version was released sometime after the last update in May 2008.The latest major changes were made available on May 12, 2008 to v2.10.0000 and a subsequent update on May 27 where v2.10.0040 was released.CHANGE LIST FOR FSX VERSION 2.10.0040=====================================This update corrects a problem seen by very few users. The problem manifestedin an inoperative PFD speed tape and subsequent problems with the autopilot.This update is only mandatory for users so affected. CHANGE LIST FOR FSX VERSION 2.10.0000=====================================1) Fixed Crash-To-Desktop when exiting from 747-400X Freighter version2) Significantly improved Save/Load state for saved flights / start situations3) Fixed case where ILS radio frequency did not reload after load saved state4) Fixed rare Crash-To-Desktop under certain CDU window resize scenario5) Fixed erroneous brake temp indication when SimConnect Brake Indication values were erroneously returned for fractional brake pressure settings.6) Updated Virtual Cockpits to include a clickable TOGA hotspot on the MCP. (mouseover screw)7) Corrected right main landing gear brake assignment.8) Improved speedbrake logic to prevent accidental trip of autobrakes if FSX erroneously reads the spoiler handle as DOWN. (Handle DOWN will correctly disconnect autobrakes)9) Improved engine spool inertial delta to improve autothrottle handling of high energy changes.10) Corrected flaw in outboard aileron lockout system logic.11) Improved LNAV propensity to correct XTRK errors.12) Improved LNAV handling of course tracking in various scenarios.13) General cleanup of some animations in the VC (window shades, etc)14) Corrected static knob settings for Air Data, FMC, Flight Director knobs on F/O side of cockpit.15) Corrected logic for CWT L/R and STAB L/R pump switch PRESS lights.16) Corrected EGT Limit bar behavior during engine start.17) Corrected Fuel On index bar behavior during engine start.18) Corrected incorrect logic preventing VREF election for return to field prior to climb/cruise.19) PROG page opens to 1/3 correctly .20) Tightened autopilot roll logic to improve lateral tracking behavior in turbulence.21) XTRK error correctly populates rather than remaining blank.22) Corrected 400 Passenger model SPEC mapping texture.23) Updated EPR modeling on PW/RR engines to reflect more accurate values.24) PW/RR EPR less than 1.00 ram effect model based on dynamic pressure and throttle position.25) CLB thrust reduction now correctly senses flap lever position rather than flap angle.26) Modified EGT behavior during shutdown to incorporate more realistic temps/behaviors.27) PMDG Options "TCAS Show All Traffic" setting now ignores Above/N/Below switch in order to show all traffic. (Above/N/Below switch still functions correctly if "all traffic" is not selected.)28) Corrected behavior of GPWS Gear Override Switch.29) Eliminated silly FSX tire vapor animations in rain/snow30) Changed the way FMS reads SID/STAR files to ensure soft constraints are properly read.31) Considerable changes to handling of soft constraints in VNAV climb/descent. (Should fix occasional problems with UNABLE NEXT ALT logic and calcualtion of ToD when the first waypoint after ToD is soft.)32) Improved Direct-To maneuvering algorithm with LNAV engaged.33) Changed sequencing criteria for flyover-type waypoints to improve flyover performance.
