747-400F

Hello,I am looking to purchase the PMDG 747, and I can see there are two different types, the 747-400 and the 747-400F. I really like flying the cargo type of planes, and was wondering if the freighter version is the same as the passenger in the cockpit/system of things. Does it require two different start-up and other types of procedures, or can they use the same checklist and manuals? In the end, I think I will buy . (I've seen a lot of youtube videos of just the passenger plane, and there are not really any of freighter vids that have tutorials). I am also considering to get the AOA video of the 747. Tyler

Hello,The PMDG 747-400F cockpit is slightly different in the cockpit. There are three standby instruments (analogue) in the passenger version, while on the -400F the three standby instruments have been converted into one small standby instrument screen. The FMC and other systems, are the same.

cool, seems fairly similar. does this mean you get to use the same checklists and manuals for both types of aircraft.

Tyler,FS9 or FSX? The FSX version comes with both the pax and freighter.

The only difference if that the F variant has a glass cockpit and has a few operational differences, but it flies the same.
