747-8

Hi Bryan, do you think you will make an FS2Crew for the 747-8, when it's out? Do you think the SDK will be like the 777, where FS2Crew can't have control over the electronic checklists?

Thanks and best regards,

James

Hi James,

I have no idea.  The Electronic Checklists are the wildcard.  We'll have to wait and see.

Thanks Bryan. I hope you could have the 748 in advance, so that you could start fitting FS2Crew in order to have it available shortly after release...

Bryan, do you think it will take long to make the FS2Crew for the 747-8? Won't it have many commonalities with the -400? I don't think I will purchase the -8 until the related FS2Crew is out (or at least is close) 😢

Hi James,

I wouldn't wait though for FS2Crew for purchasing the 8.

Next on the release list is UGCX.

I would have thought the FS2Crew team would get early access to the -8 to work on a new version?

Happy with the -8 so far but it's so lonely in here lol

We don't get early access.  There's no point because things always change during the development process.

ETA on the 8 model:  After UGCX 🙂

Can't you at least take a few moments and see if the existing FSCrew 747 product will interface with the 748 at some level?  Maybe it just needs an updated FS2Crew Manager to modify the 748 panel.cfg?  Have you at least looked?  Then, bring the ECL features into play at a later date.  Pushing out new products should take a back-seat to supporting existing customers.

We'll see how it goes.
