B747tebs

just a short question.. do i need another login for the forum? So one for the orders, one for the forum and one for the support system?

So as far as I remember, our oldest 747-8i is 6 years old and the newest is 3 years old. Not sure how this can be obsolete 😄 We also do have the 747-400 which will still fly for a couple of years until its being replaced by the 777X

The same flights and include Hong-Kong and Narita, because Lufthansa flew with B748. 

We do not fly to Narita anymore and Hong-Kong is currently flown by A346. Note that in my post, I was referring to flights from this September. Not flights from last year or the years before 😉 Otherwise I could have added much more flights. You could even see the 748 in Berlin and somewhere in Italy

Frankfurt - Tokio Haneda
               - Johannesburg
               - Rio de Janeiro
               - Sao Paolo
               - Buenos Aires
               - Washington
               - New York
               - Los Angeles
               - Mumbai
               - Chicago
               - Mexico City
               - Boston
               - Bangalore
               - Newark
               - Shanghai
               - Beijing
 

all flights from Lufthansa. Some of them might be only temporary (or be flown by 747-400 from time to time), but I checked for all flights in September in our system.

I am working on the 747-8 and I can tell you one thing.. Its an amazing plane.. be it from the outside, from the cabin or from the cockpit view. Totally different than the -400 which I work on as well

Having the NGX, i am wondering what people expect from the NG3? Isnt the NGX already perfect as it is?

i was expecting an MD11 for P3D 😄 😄 😄

i am working on the route FRA-BKK today..  so that means, during my layover, i have to find wifi everywhere, just to stay up to date 😄

alright, thanks for the info

Hi,

is there a list of options that can be customized for the 747-8? I am working on that aircraft and want to get the real values from my airline. Could share these for the liveries

This event hyped me even more for the -8! :D CAN`T WAIT!
Even though that I think that the new livery is looking better on smaller planes.

have you been at the event as well?

Captain Sim have an L1011, and if they are indeed working on a new plane, it’s going to be glass cockpit due to market demand and lack of demand for older stuff like you mentioned.

I have the CS L1011, but its not for P3Dv4 and it also is not PMDG level of detail. It feels very basic (also compared to their B737 and B707)

DC10, L1011, Shared Cockpit, EFB with charts and moving airport map, B747 CL, A300/A310,.. actually any jetliner with steam gauge

This has been explained quite a number of times, from the very outset of the DC-6.

Of course, since the MD-11 crowd loves to use it as some sort of "proof" for some unknown reason, let me address it yet again:

 

The DC-6 was maybe a bad example.. What i wanted to say with this was, that there are still old aircraft being developed on (CS L1011,..)

YES ! Not only because there are still a lot of them flying, but also because it doesnt really matter if its old or not.. or how do you explain the DC-6 ? I dont even need anything new. Just an update so it works with P3D x64 and i would buy it

For me, it would be the 737. I dont fly the 747 that often and i fly the 777 even less. There is no general answer to your question in this case i guess.

haha - I flew DLH back in Jan on the 748 and the neo from IAD-FRA-MUC (specifically didn't fly the direct route to fly the 748 and neo). We'll see if I make it over again this year.

As much as I like cookies, I like my job more, though 

...all the same, it's nice running into you all at various events. Almost ran into serviceceiling on my last trip through.

Thats good, you will find me on both the Neo and the 748 :)

Nope. I can't. This is the first big project I've worked on to this degree, and I can't tell you about it yet, so my only way of coping with it is to drop in random teasers. 

If you fly with Lufthansa one day, i would give you another extra cookie in exchange for more information :D

James,

being a developer myself, the smallest problems can lead to the biggest updates. What i want to say is, from the outside, everything looks easily fixable sometimes (especially for people without a background in software development), but sometimes fixing small things require huge changes and lots of testing.

 Easy!

I can see you are not a developer or have any idea what kind of work is required to do what you say :D

PMDG DC-6 has one.

Oh, well I can be wrong too :D But i dont own x-plane and never really followed the DC-6. Well then Kyle, talk to your boss.. Make the DC10 happen :D (i give you a cookie)

You can create an option of a "virtual flight engeneer", like A2A did with their L-049 Constellation... Btw, the 737-200 is the 737NG's grandfather and simpler to operate than a 727... Well, we all know it won't happen, but anyway.,... I agree with you that the next logical PMDG project will be a 757 or a 767...

I dont know if you have flown the 737-200, but its very similar to the 727 actually and as long as it doesnt have an FMC, it wont sell (not speaking of retrofits). PMDG never did a virtual flight engineer and I dont think they will make one.
