May 13, 201511 yr 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. Dave Taylor

May 13, 201511 yr Commercial Member 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?

The Instruments, the FDE and the functionality is where my interest will be. A purchase from me is all bearing on these attributes. 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. Kyle Rodgers
May 13, 201511 yr 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 :| Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS
May 13, 201511 yr 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 Florian
May 13, 201511 yr Commercial Member 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 :| 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. Kyle Rodgers
May 13, 201511 yr 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. Dan Downs KCRP
May 13, 201511 yr how will we calculate derate/asummed temps in the -8? Ron Hamilton "95% is half the truth, but most of it is lies, but if you read half of what is written, you'll be okay." __ Honey Boo Boo's Mom
May 13, 201511 yr 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!!! Thanks, Ron Fields
May 13, 201511 yr Commercial Member 2. Can we see some views of the 400 & -8 side by side to compare. Found this on Flickr: Kyle Rodgers
May 13, 201511 yr 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. Thanks, Ron Fields
