On the Freighter it is the same story, apart from the advanced exterior animations that are a bit better with things like air stairs being able to be called to the aircraft and a tail brace/support being positioned under the tail. They ALL open! Every passenger door, the cargo doors and the upper deck doors, I for one didn’t even know the upper deck doors could open unless it was an emergency, I have been proven wrong! Even the cockpit door and toilet door open in the VC. I think one of the coolest features of this 747 model over any other is the doors. This is one of these aircraft that make you actually want to do a walk around before each simulated flight. When you zoom into the wheel wells and engines you can see the detail right down to the rivets in the aircraft and the inner workings of the landing gear. The flaps roll nicely out of the wing and things like the spoilers and control surfaces move smoothly rather than looking like they are on a ratchet. There is a very accurate feel to it, like driving a European car, it just looks and feels like it is stuck together well. Well it was absolutely worth the wait! They didn’t just convert it, they revolutionised it!įrom a first glance it looks similar to something like the Posky 747, but when you zoom in and take a good look at PMDG's model you see it is a whole lot more. This has probably been one of the most wanted add-ons' for FSX since it’s release over a year ago, and there have been some that have got a little impatient with the team at PMDG as to why is was taking so long to “convert” the product from FS2004. However I don’t think there is a flight simmer today that would fail to recognise the PMDG Boeing 747-400. There is a good line I like out of one of the videos on the Boeing website, that says “I don’t think there is a person today that would fail to recognise the Boeing 747”, and that that is very true, it is and will remain for a long time to come a defining presence of the aviation world.

From the highly visible ones like antenna types and position all the way to obscure cockpit display and FMC options that real-world crews will recognize, it is the most complete set of options ever placed into an FSX/P3D addon aircraft. No less than 35 pages of detailed options from the world's 747-400 fleets are modelled. Each variant is modelled with accurate weights, range and engine options. The ubiquitous passenger 400 and freighter 400F models, the cargo-converted BCF, the "combi" 400M model, the extended range 400ER and 400ERF, and even the rare 400D domestic model that was used in Japan. We have included every variant of the aircraft in this single package. PMDG is proud to present a new simulation of the Queen of the Skies - the Boeing 747-400.ĭeveloped over three years and building upon all of the award-winning features of the PMDG 737NGX and PMDG 777 products, the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II is our most magnificent creation yet.
