Is PMDG 747 hard on frames?

[Mees]

Guys, i have a question.
Is PMDG 744 a lot more heavier then 738?
Cuz if it is, i won't get that for x-mas

it's not the lightest plane in the hangar ...

but amazingly, i think it is less heavy on FPS than the 737

not to mention that it's probably one of the best airliner simulatons ever made, if you liked the 738, this is gonna blow your mind

If you like Big Jets, its good.  I dont have it, but I read about it in PC Pilot.  They had a real 747 pilot try it, and he said it felt exactly like the real thing.

I'll just keep saving my money and give the ifly time to do some patches and further developement on their free 744.  I'll tell you a bird that looks more up my alley, due to my time limitations for flying long trips.  That flight1 super 80 looks to be just the ticket for a guy who only has time for "spoke" flying.  Of course the CRJ or ERJ would fit even better but I heard the CRJ is watered down and the ERJ requires cutting edge system to get satisfactory frame rates.  Check my PC specs at the bottom.  You all know that like a year or two ago my a system like mine would have handled anything and now for the best add-ons I would have to slash all my settings low to run them well.  Seems a guy that doesn't have a 64 or a P-4 dual core is left out of some of the best stuff nowadays.

Best investment you can make!
By the time you get done playing with all the goodies you'll be ready for anything.
It's a read the manual type plane.....and a good working knowledge of FMC's is must.......So if you have the LDS 767 or PMDG's 737.....This would be the next logical step!
This thing along with FsPassengers is hard to beat, and hard to ever stop flying!

Hope this helps....

Its better on frames than the 737-800 and -900...
... Are you trying to say you dont have it yet?  ::)
Just joking, but if you can run the 737NGs, then you can handle this one!  ;)
