October 12, 20178 yr Hello pmdg I expected QW787 after pmdg747-8, but I am disappointed and waiting for pmdg747-8 again. In previous p3d v4 update documentation, I saw an article saying that we need to finish pmdg747-8 So I'm curious about the current situation. Edited October 12, 20178 yr by redsonssi kim young ju
October 12, 20178 yr Commercial Member Last I heard it's in development with all hands in deck working to get it done. I heard a beta tester said it was a ways out as it wasn't on their radar yet. You have to remember that the -8 isn't just a re-engined 747-400 or a stretched version, it's essentially a totally different aircraft. The -300ER expansion took 13 or so months to release after the base package and that was pretty much just a stretched -200. I'd expect Q1 or Q2 of next year, though they could surprise us and push it out before the holidays, however unlikely that may be. Congratulations on getting the QW787, it looks to be a marvelous aircraft, but this on will take a bit more time to perfect. Good things come to those who wait!
October 12, 20178 yr Commercial Member Please sign your real name first and last as per forum regulations. The -8 is still under development. As soon as we have her in beta I am sure the beta team will share pictures and videos. Chris Makris PLEASE NOTE PMDG HAS DEPARTED AVSIM You can find us at http://forum.pmdg.com

Thanks for the detailed explanation. 747-8 seems to take a long time to come out.

October 12, 20178 yr North American already beat them to it 53 years ago with the XB-70 Valkyrie Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

Again, the -300ER came out roughly a year after the -200LR, so given that the 747-400 was released just last February and it hasn't been a year yet, I'm not surprised. Furthermore, not long after the 747-400 got released, PMDG worked on updating all their stuff for P3D V4 once that got released, so that also took a bit of time. Not really sure why there was an expectation that the QualityWings Boeing 787 would come later. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off.

Description Thank you I started the Flight Simulator after the pmdg777-200 and 300 release and did not know much about it And I have asked pmdg about 747-8. The p3dv4 update and the pmdg747-8 team are different, so I told them that there is no delay due to the p3dv4 update Again answer and explanation
October 13, 20178 yr Sorry to hijack the thread. I had a question. Are there different systems as well with the - 800? For example how the 777 and 787 have very different displays and airport displays on the ND etc? Any cockpit comparison images that anyone can share? Clinton Royston Fernandes. Vabb-Mumbai India.
