October 9, 20187 yr So I was looking at photos of Lufthansa's 747-8s and it appears that they have an antenna configuration that is unavailable in the FMC. As far as I can tell, their configuration (as it would be in the -8 FMC) is WIFI FWD, SATCOM2, VHF, ELT. The closest I can find to that is WIFI FWD, SATCOM2, ELT, but this leaves out the VHF antenna. Just curious as to how hard it would be to add this config as an option. Sterling Paulsen

October 15, 20187 yr Author If it's "always there," explain this https://i.imgur.com/FNXpcJV.png vs https://i.imgur.com/1p6jfSZ.png If it's "always there" then why would it be listed as part of the antenna options?

Please submit a ticket, that is the only way the team will be able to address it!

You can submit a ticket for that but I am not sure if we are going to be able to make this chnage. Chris Makris PLEASE NOTE PMDG HAS DEPARTED AVSIM You can find us at http://forum.pmdg.com

All B748 have a SATCOM, VHF and ELT antenna. Please compare with Air China B748 and Korean Air B748. The current problem is that choosing either WIFI antenna option removes the ability to display a VHF antenna whatsoever. In summary, the VHF, ELT should be available together regardless of which WIFI and SATCOM antenna position is selected!
