October 4, 20169 yr how do u delete ur post? Andre Malishkin - I am not a real pilot, but i did stay at holiday inn express -
October 4, 20169 yr Im such a nerd for detail I got excited most about finally official repaints having SELCALs on the registration plate! Will buy the P3D version on day one for sure - David Lee
October 4, 20169 yr Is it just me or is the cockpit lighting a little off? Every 747 cockpit I've ever been in or seen at night seemed to have a very noticeable orange color emanating from the background lighting. Knowing PMDG though, there are probably multiple bulb options to create different lighting hues.

Rob, FWIW, in the 777 there is a colors options menu where you can change the colors of the background lighting (As well as many other things) using hex or rgb. I haven't seen the 747 yet, but I'd expect it to be in there as well.

Every 747 cockpit I've ever been in or seen at night seemed to have a very noticeable orange color emanating from the background lighting. Knowing PMDG though, there are probably multiple bulb options to create different lighting hues. It's not just you - it's the camera and the post processing, along with some of the processing in P3D. We go through this with just about every aircraft: A camera does not know what "white" is, so it will adjust the image to the best that it understands what "white" is. Ever take a picture that was kinda blue-ish? White balance issue on the cool side. White balance can also be on the warmer side as well, which creates more orange hues. Projected light (the screens) is going to throw the balance off for the reflected light (everything else) as well. Post processing to draw out colors is also pretty common. Even Instagram has the ability to edit saturation to bring out the colors. This will also emphasize whatever hue is in question, which is brown in this case. Boeing Brown being saturated is going to give you a more orange hue. P3D's HDR function comes with a number of adjustments, one of which - you guessed it - is saturation. The brightness also comes into play. Ever check a color prior to using HDR, and then checking it with HDR on? The color will be rather different (though they've made it better with each version). All the same, if someone thinks it's off because think photo evidence is better than part numbers, color references, and the Tech Team signing off on it (or if you just want a club scene up on the 74's flight deck), then they can edit the colors in the FMC to their own content.

October 5, 20169 yr I think I am a little confused, what is the "base package" of the new 747, just the the 3 744 pax or all 744s(400/400F/400M...)? Stas H. IVAO ID 234784 VATSIM ID 999196

October 5, 20169 yr Quite an expansive list for the base release nice! I'm assuming the expansion pack would be the -8 series and maybe the LCF? -Patrick Kazmierczak Prepar3D, FSX, FSX-SE, X-Plane 10 Specs: AMD [email protected], 16gb ram, EVGA GTX970FTW+, Windows 10
October 5, 20169 yr I'm assuming the expansion pack would be the -8 series and maybe the LCF? I am sure this has been said in the past, but the -8 expansion is not slated to be released alongside the base package. Correct? <---------------> Mike Murawski
October 6, 20169 yr I would assume, that (since it's a expansion package) it will be released at some point after the base package release Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
October 6, 20169 yr I'm happy to drool over the initial pics until this is released Plenty of Long-haul BA flights planned Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK.
