Any Update on PMDG 747-8?

Recommended Posts

Brian,

Just wondering if you can provide an update on whether the -8 product is a simple update or if its gonna be a while before youre able to get a product out for the -8 ?  I for one, will gladly pay for an update for the -8 model (i only speak for me, no backlash please).  I understand you have a big workload with UGCX but wondering if the -8 will be a simple update or not?  Thanks!

I suppose it all depends if PMDG has included the ECL in the SDK...

Update:  The mouse clicks in the ECL are proving a bit frustrating.

So I'll just port the 400 version over to the 8 model.

There will be no ECL control I'm afraid. 

Also, the SDK doesn't allow for mouse click control, so there's a potential legal issue I'd rather avoid.

Disappointing but I understand the issues.

In my opinion that's fine, I don't use the ECL in the 777 because it somehow always gets screwed up a bit... rather have fs2crew than no fs2crew... ECL or not!

Let's just hope in future PMDG products they allow for SDK control over the ECL 🙂
