June 15, 2025Jun 15 Just took flew the 747 on a short final to JFK on MSFS 2024 (A Landing Challenge). Have any real 747 pilots flown the MSFS 2024 747? Thoughts and comments? Nobody talks about the Queen of the Skies. For a default aircraft created by Asobo it seems pretty good. It is fun to fly.

June 15, 2025Jun 15 It requires a lot of work, but for entertainment purposes, it's acceptable. There is significant room for improvement. Hopefully, they will continue to refine it. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

June 15, 2025Jun 15 @jon b Thank you so much for the hard work together with Hardy for the BEST PRECISION SIMULATOR B744! The best development and programming example to date. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

June 15, 2025Jun 15 I think the best we will ever get for MSFS is PMDG 744-748 and for non children of the magenta line the 741 and really looking forward to it. Edited June 15, 2025Jun 15 by JBDB-MD80

PMDG will undoubtedly make excellent versions. BUT, iFly seems to be garnering a Hi Fi reputation, as well. And they, too, have a P3D 744 to use as a head start. And let's not count out some Dark Horse appearing, much like Fenix did. Perhaps BlueBird...?
June 15, 2025Jun 15 Any difference with the 2020 one, post AAU1? I remember this update made the Salty mod redundant and kept me busy while we wait for the 744.
