Great shots again! Thanks for the sitrep. Can't wait to see it in P3D's lighting *ahem* *cough cough*

It's like you knew May 8th was my birthday! Thanks for the update Robert and to the 747 team for all the hard work. Take your time with her (well, not too much time). Looking forward to the P3D version.

Doubt it. They'd let us know in the forums if it was. Interesting though, FSX pages for these products went up Feb 23rd. Today we get the P3D pages. I know initially the plan was to release them pretty much at the same time, but then Mr. Randazzo kindly informed us of some breakdown in communication between LM and P3D that was potentially holding up the latter's progress. Wonder if the 2 weeks in between product pages are representative of the release order. Of course this is only my own speculation and we'll have to wait and see! My P3D 2.4 awaits!

Sounds painful. Guess we'll just have to wait and see when she's done. Thanks for the reply!

Hey best of luck with whatever it may be Kyle. I know the feeling. Went through that recently both in my career and personal life. Waiting is never easy. Hoping the results are worth it for you! Question about the V2 if I may. Being an enthusiastic simmer with a RW position on the other end of the Mic I've been afforded a few opportunities to sit in the flight deck of various aircraft (PMDG nailed the atmosphere of the T7 by the way - from what I could tell after about 10 mins in the real thing...). I was wondering if you could share with us if we'll be able to see (tips of) the wings and nose of the aircraft from inside the flight deck. I understand it may not be possible due to limitations or even if you can't see them from the real thing therefore unrealistic. Just curious. Obviously the aircraft isn't complete yet so such decisions may not even have been made but anything you could share would be appreciated. Thanks and my advice for the waiting process is to just keep busy

And to everyone else here on the forums, Wishing you all joy for the holidays as well as happiness and health in the new year. Nothing but well wishes for all your future endeavours. Your tireless work has brought me countless hours of simulating some truly amazing aircraft and provided me with valuable insight related to my job. See you in 2016!

Flytampa CYUL and CYYZ

Could you expand on that please? Genuinely curious.

Still going strong with 2.4! Appreciate your time, you don't have to do that. I would be interested in the results though if you do!

Kyle (and everyone), if you're running through flytampa products, don't forget CYUL! Perfect compliment to CYYZ for short hops in all kinds of aircraft! I'd also like to chime in with EKCH. Amazing airport. Tom, aerosoft Rome is one that's been on my radar since they first announced it. Any remarks you'd like to share? Especially regarding performance and VAS? My VA recently updated their schedules to include a 3x weekly flight there from EGLL with the 77L. I'd very much like to try it out with PMDG's beautiful bird. FSDreamTeam Geneva also gets a big thumbs up from me. Mostly because of the beautiful surrounding mountains. It's just a gorgeous place to fly into/out of. Oh and Aerosoft Nice for the same reasons. Happy flying!

Kevin Menard, Aerosim Laval? Love your setup! Looking forward to doing my Sim rating with you guys after the holidays!

Hey Nick, Yeah from an external vantage there's a whole Lotta nose in front of the flight deck but it was cool to see just how much of it is visible in that video. I asked because my second default view in ezdok for every aircraft is kinda like a dash cam perspective much like in the clip. I love to just watch the scenery go by after the Autopilot's in and my flows are complete. It's crazy to think in the 74' there's passengers seated below you and a bit of cabin in front. When the T7 was in beta, I was sure I'd never be so anxious for another addon in flight Sim. I've flown that virtual aircraft all over the world now. Then they had to go and release screenshots of the 747V2. Now I'm refreshing the forums every day all over again...

Speaking of (and this is more a question to satisfy personal curiosity), How much of the nose can one see from the flight deck? I mean if one were to lean over the glareshield, it looks like the nose extends quite a bit further in front of the flight deck windscreen. Then again, it could be too steeply raked to see anything besides the nose-cone. Can't tell from this picture how much of that will be modeled. Any real world 747 mtc or pilots around? I'm just curious.

This isn't insider information, but an educated guess. They've said in the past that they're not in the habit of eliminating features. So since the 777 has it, you can bet the 747v2 will have it! You know, I was all ready to type out my guess that it would be a -400 base package with an -8 expansion, much like the 777. But the more I think about it, the more it could go either way. Guess we'll have to wait and see B)
