747 VC

Soap Box:

Why does the defaul 747 VC suck so bad?  I havent flown it in three years and decided to fly it tonight.  None of the overhead works except a couple lights and a de-ice switch.  You have to start it by using the 2D panel.  I have yet to find a master batt switch, or avionics switch.  You would have though MS would have put a little more effort into their aircraft that comes with the game. 

Anyone know of any VC that people have redone for the 747?

Because it was coded by M$. :-?

Then they would NOT BE M$ ANYMORE. That would cause a paradox, and the universe would explode. :-/

Try the 744 iFly freeware. On the major FS freeware sites. :)

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Go for the PMDG....I had the exact same Q a while back and went for the PMDG744...it's worth it, trust me!  ;)

I also have the iFly744, and haven't used that since I got the PMDG "Queen"....

What if you dont want to turn on hydraulic pumps or electrical systems,or learn how the FMC works just start the engines  and go. Agreed the default 747 VC sux and mine crashes FSX on top of it.
