September 12, 20178 yr Hi PMDG guys, I know you have a lot to do. Is the 747-8 still a topic? Will it still exist? Thanks and regards Frank Kunath Thanks and Regards Frank Kunath Windows 10 Pro/ 64Bit / Intel i7 4790K 4 x 4,0 GHz/ 16 GB DDR3 RAM / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4 GB/ P3D V4
September 12, 20178 yr Hi, As long as you don't read an official statement from PMDG that the project is abandoned, consider they are working on it full speed! Romain Roux Avec l'avion, nous avons inventé la ligne droite. St Exupéry, Terre des hommes.
September 12, 20178 yr of course its still in the works... i highly doubt that they work on it this much and say "nah, lets abandon it".... They are working on it and will share something when something is worth sharing.

Stretched plane, different engine characteristics, and I'm guessing the flight characteristics would be a little difference since the plane is longer and has a completely different wing. Also not really sure what systems are in there, but I imagine there are quite a few differences between the two planes.

September 14, 20178 yr The "office" is likely just about the same though. You see, I waiver between the 748 and the NGX.

Think of the 748 as a 777 with 4 engines. The flight deck is more 77L/77W than 744: ECL, modern color CDUs. Don't forget you have 4 GEnX engines hanging on the wings, too. Kyle Rodgers

Just as there is between a 772 and 773ER. The engines alone as Kyle mentioned give it an entire different performance profile. Gabriel Guzman, KIAH
September 14, 20178 yr Hmm, cash is finite, as I ponder the NGX I cant decide if I should instead await the 748...
