September 22, 20187 yr Folks can someone please let me know if the Base 747-400 will now have the same effects (like rain) and features (like airport diagram) once the "expansion" is installed ? Or will the new features only work on the Expansion 747-800 ? Thank you, Joe Miller
September 22, 20187 yr Hi Joe... it's 747-8 (no zeros). There is no airport diagram feature in the actual B744 or EFB for that matter, therefore there isn't one in the simulated B744. Edited September 22, 20187 yr by downscc Dan Downs KCRP

You can expect rainmaker in November for the 747-400. Mind you, work is going on behind the scenes to provide initial support for the 747-8, finish GFO and update the 777, and getting a head start on the NGX v3 (MAX possibly). hope that helps.

Thank you for the correction and the EFB explanation. Joe Miller Edited September 23, 20187 yr by joemiller

I downloaded the new version for 747-400 and will install next week. I saw a PMDG announcement informing customers to download the latest version of the 747 from ones's "shop account." as it contains major updates. (I erroneously assumed the new features were being updated to the base). Joe Miller Edited September 23, 20187 yr by joemiller

Oh really? Super! Yeah, not updating the 747-400 with the latest features as the 747-8, will make it seem 'out-dated' But, as you mentioned PMDG will do these things step by step. I will be purchasing the Expansion Pack early next week. In the mean time, hopefully some of you post some Youtube videos online so we can admire its beauty. Joe Miller

Joe Miller I hope you realise that you will NEED the 747-400 update to run the 747-8. I suggest you begin backing up your 747-400 settings, flight plans and liveries now so that you can download and install the update before Monday with your liveries restored. Flying Tigers Group
