747V2

[slimie18 0]

Is there any news on 747v2? Since most airliners are retiring their 747,I wish pmdg will release this beautiful queen soon before she retires.

[Don t moderate me this way 882]

PMDG will release v2 before PMDG retires.

United has stated on their employee's website recently that they presently expect the B747-400 to remain in service until 2020.  I'm sure PMDG will beat that by a wide margin,

 

Myself, I can hardly wait to buy version 2 of the "Queen of the Fleet"!

Im wondering if they just started for V2?? Any pictures? :rolleyes:

If there was any news about this, or any other, development, it would be in a sticky in the General Forum.

Hence, there's no news on it, and no pictures since the last update on it by Robert.

All we know is that development has started, and everything else is pretty much conjecture, since there's not a lot of information around.

I have a feeling, but this is just me speculating, that the SP1c for the 777 will have a priority over the 747v2 for now. Depending on how the teams are arranged, some modelling and texturing might already have been done. (Again, that's pure speculation from my side.)

I was recently in the flight deck of a British airways 747 and the crew said they were keeping their 747s for at least another 15 years.

Does anyone know if PMDG is thinking about making a 747SP expansion for the new V2, that would be incredible if they did!

[KriVa 307]

How could they? The 747SP was a derivative of the classic 747s, not of the 747-400, which PMDG is making.

They're two entirely different airplanes.

A couple years ago, actually...

 

They showed some pictures at the Konferenz in München.

Could someone of you predict the approximately release-date of PMDG-747-400V2 according to your knowlage with +- / 50 percent  error ? Thanks in advance.

[KriVa 307]

Somewhere between now and 2020, with an error margin between 2017 and 2023 (you asked for 50%, didn't you?).

All kidding aside, those things are VERY hard to predict, even for the developers themselves, let alone for guys on a forum who know pretty much nothin about that development, since PMDG is not a public company.

They don't give us release estimates, because those are promises that can't be kept, ever.

Thank you for these infos and your statement
