There are now at least two available here at the AVSIM library. By two VERY good painters, I might add...

I get you. At first, I wasn't too sure. But now seeing all these features, and now that UPS has indeed taken delivery of at least one -8, I am more excited. Atlas Air has about five, and are flown all over the planet. I tend to fly ONLY cargo myself...

wow...just...WOW! Truly amazing!!! I can see now why this is taking as long as it has. Must be an incredible amount of work getting everything just so. Thanks in advance to the whole team! I can't wait to put her in my hanger!

Thank you soooo much! Very insightful! I understand equipment could and does get changed out during maintenance checks, but still... How about one for extending runway center lines, and track offsets?

Thank you so much for these videos. Always great to hear from a RW Pilot as to how these are operated. I have a question as to equipment. On the N475 you're flying, it has the ADF installed(i.e. the gauge under the clock). There are a couple of pictures on Airliners.net that show this is not the case. Also they have separate backup flight instruments, and not the integrated one. Also, no taxi lights. These are the N475, and N477. Can you tell us more about the installed equipment?

Ooooh! I'll take that N356. I already have an Atlas paint on a BCF...Just need to break out the eraser...

Doesn't Atlas/Son air do a weekly flight from FAOR to KIAH? I thought I'd seen that...

If you were staying with 4.1, I believe there was no need to upgrade the 747. Have a look in the PMDG General section to read RSRs' post.

Fixed! Thank you! SO! We can expect the 747-8 in a few...hours? Cool!!! :P

Thanks Robert! I am having this issue as well. Good luck to you and the team!

I remember seeing that Kevin! I'll have to purchase that one. I was also thinking of getting a dual Saitek throttle setup, and some 747 handles. Looks like I may get a set of 777 handles too.

ACA 15 for me, CYYZ-VHHH Sometimes a 77L, sometimes a 77W. East or west, but almost always over the Pole.Incredible! -And I mostly fly the freighters. I thought I saw once where Southern Air, or AeroLogic flew a route close to the pole. More research...

...and the -300 Expansion. I have it FSX, but I hardly use FSX anymore. Put many hours in this plane in FSX, including a world tour. It's not my favorite, the 747 takes up most of my flying time now but... Seeing this bird in Prepar3d, it's like I'm seeing it brand new all over again. It's not something I can put my finger on exactly. -Not one thing...Now I feel another world tour is in order!. And I also think I may actually tackle one(or more) of those polar routes! Thanks PMDG! You guys are AMAZING!!!

I won't say anything, but keeping my fingers crossed... And...Holy Krap! So it's really not just a run-of-the-mill- expansion. I was wondering what was keeping it. It looks Fantastic!!!

IIRC The MD-11 routing went: KSDF-KONT-PHNL-YSSY-VHHH-PANC-KSDF. Occasionally straight from SDF to HNL. 747 Routes the other way go from KSDF-PANC-ZSPD/VHHH. Occasionally to RCTP. I believe it depends on the day of the week? From VHHH-YSSY-PHNL-KSDF. From PANC anymore, it looks like two flights of 767's to RKSI, and possibly ZSPD and RJAA or maybe a MD-11 and a 767...

WoW!...Just...Wow! Thank you for sharing that. Godspeed and good fortunes!

IIRR Korean Air had PW's on their freighters...

And Atlas Air seems to take the lions' share of those too!!!

Looks like the bare minimum specs...Also, what Operating System? Windows 7? 10?

I must add my voice to this...I HAVE created my own short state panel save from the default startup condition. Saved under another name. Will work maybe once, then when I get back into the plane on the second or third try, it's all buggered up. I have done this three times. When it finally loads, it switches straight to battery power. I have to call a external power unit, and an airstart unit. The engines will start normally with that. I noticed on the STAT page there was no APU RPM Indication...Even though the APU was on and supposed to be running...Weird...It seems that the panel state is either not saving correctly, or is somehow getting corrupted after the save. Could it be part of this recent Windeerws update possibly???

Agree 100%!!! So many hours in that wonderful airplane! It was my first dive into a full systems aircraft for FS. I was not dissapointed. At firsdt there was so much to learn by as I got the hang of it, I was hooked! There are some high res cockpit textures out there, just search around a little, While a little quirky, they do indeed breathe life into the ol' girl!. I too would plop my money down on an updated version as well( P3Dv4 ??? anyone???)!!!

...And don't forget to ARM the Autobrakes! Pull up/Left click the speed brake handle. Somewhere between your last STAR Waypoint and your IAP...Done/Not done that meself a few times...

Myself, other than an update/redux of the very awesome MD-11. I would like to see PMDG do a Boeing 767. It is one of my favorites. I have the one from BrandX, but it's a bit quirky sometimes. Considered buying the Level-D, but I am spoiled rotten by PMDG and BrandX(all those 3D knobs and switches...)...and NO freighter model...767 PLEASE!!!

I use FlightAware to select an aircraft/airline/Dep and Arr...Then SimBrief to make up the actual package. I download the FMS data for both PMDG and AS2016, or just the FSX/P3D flight plan for others. The browse by operator feature at FA is so cool!!! I have been using SimBrief for several years now. It's an awesome service, and yes, it's FREE!!!

...Enough already!!! :P I just got done following UPS 64. First leg, SDF to ANC. Every time I get in the cockpit, I'm amazed...It is such a work of art! I have even switched to my own version of a short turnaround panel state every time it loads, so I can align the IRS and preflight the cockpit..Second leg was from ANC to RSK. Even though it was just an hour and a half tech stop, and even though it's been out for months now...When I got back in, I was itching to get going! -And when it loads on one of the planes I put the brown seats mod in, I smile. So many hours in the FSX QOTS. Just...THANKS! You really, really hit it out of the park! I can't wait 'til I can get the money up for the P3Dv4 version!
