[13MAY15] Intercontinental breakfast, anyone?

I think I just wet my pants.... Unbelievable!

Well I'm afraid I'm a bit of a devils advocate here. I cannot see any difference between this (apart from the underwing shot) than the previous models that I own?  I am too old to become swept along by hype and as I fly from within the cockpit I am naturally more concerned with a realistic cockpit. The Instruments, the FDE and the functionality is where my interest will be.  A purchase from me is all bearing on these attributes.

Looking forward to it.

 

FSX lighting looks so flat.

I think, based on the NGX and 777, that there shouldn't be any reason to doubt that all of your concerns will be addressed. I can appreciate some skepticism given some of the somewhat troublesome history our hobby has had with developers, but I think it's pretty clear that we're excited about the incredible detail that Jason has put into the model. I think it's leaps and bounds above the older 748 model.

it looks nice, and I'm sure its great, shame I'll pass for now sorry, cant get more than 10-12 fps with my unflyable NGX so I dont imagine this will be much better :|

The 747s will bring you a whole new array of visual accuracy, no matter how badly you abuse your landing gear.

 

(And I have seen a few of you fly... So i KNOW there is some gear-abuse going on out there!)  :ph34r:

 

 

I am sorry, but i have a gear-abuse-fetish

Looks fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to see the queen on P3D!

There's a lot that can be gained by messing with your settings (various FSX internal, and external graphics). This is all restricted by the power of your computer, but knocking a few sliders back can free up a reasonable amount of processor power.

Strange I haven't seen Carl drool marks on this.  She will always be the Queen of the skies in my heart, and the update to T7 level of development wow!

 

I was hoping this was an invitation by RSR to breakfast at Houston Intercontinental airport  Marriott hotel... now that would have been a must-do.

how will we calculate derate/asummed temps in the -8?

[JSilva 42]

Great shots. Looking forward to the 747 series.

Please forgive me if the following has already been asked as I have a migraine and am having issues reading all of it.

 

1. Since the -8 is such a different AC will it be priced as a different product or as the 6 & 700 on the NGX.

2. Can we see some views of the 400 & -8 side by side to compare.

3. Just a Thanks. Been waiting on this one for a while. Due to financial constraints I passed on the T-7 because I knew the

    Queen was on the way!!!

That is excellent Kyle. The massive difference in the engines are readily apparent. Without looking it up I would imagine that the -8 has a lot better power to weight ratio. Having that reserve power is a very good safety feature. Also the obvious flaps and the wing which looks like it came straight off of a 787.
