I cracked up at this. I was zooming around to find another camera angle and I ended up on the flight deck of the PMDG 747-400 and the FO looks like me. The little, baby alligator arms don't look like my long arms, but this guy has a resemblance to my pilot passport photo. I had a good laugh. If you have not gone on the flight deck to watch these guys in action for a couple of minutes, watch them move their heads, wipe their foreheads, and point to the overhead, it is pretty entertaining, or I am easily entertained.

Same Startup State Loads for All Variants
Sartanius posted a topic in PMDG 747 Queen of the Skies II
I know this topic was discussed a couple years ago in the B777 forum (link), but the solutions given require several extra steps to get the loaded aircraft into the state you want to start your scenario. I like to start pax variants with a modified startup state I created for a short turn at a gate, and conversely, startup a cargo variant on a ramp location with cargo loaders, stairs/power/lavatory AI attached to simulate loading activities ongoing when I arrive at the aircraft. Because there's only one "747QOTSII_Options" config file in the "PMDG\PMDG 747 QOTS II" directory, then whatever is set as the StartupPanelState in the config file will be used for all variants, pax and cargo. Would be nice if each variant could have a startup state designated by the user so the variant (pax or cargo) starts up initially with it's own unique state, without the need to fiddle with the CDU to change the state after the sim starts. I know this is a 1st world problem, but it is a "quality of life" enhancement that would make for a better experience, IMHO. Would love to see this enhancement added down the road. Or, if I'm missing something obvious, please let me know.- 14 replies

The Boeing 747-400 is starting to disappear from the world scene. With sales of the -8 pretty dismal, there will come a day when a 4 engine jet will be history. That will be one sad day...

I recently had the opportunity to go in the flight deck of a Delta Boeing 747-400 (delta museum). The flight deck seemed quite a bit smaller than pictures and simulations made it out to be. So my question is what would be a good zoom setting to give me a fairly accurate pilot's perspective? I use P3D v3 and will soon get v4. Thanks.
