Errr....P2P?

You cant say the iFly guys did a bad job, its the best freeware 747 that exists.

However, you're right Jeff, the PMDG 747 is so much better.

I doubt that jrpilot was referring to P2P, and I hope he wasnt. It takes the **** out of me that others are stealing these planes and flying for free while we pay for them. Just my two cents.  :P

Come on.. Do you want trouble? He was talking about freeware.. :-/

Thanks for the opinion guys.  Both are very great aircraft, im sure when I get one ill drool on the other too

[CODY614]

No drooling.....If you drool on it you bought it!

I was talking about just flying around no flight plans.

[CODY614]

That's what "I" thought...........

Just google it Jeff, thats what I always do when I dont know something!  ;D
I'll even do it for you!  :)

From google: P2P: A method of file sharing over a network in which individual computers are linked via the Internet or a private network to share programs/files, often illegally. Users download files directly from other users' computers, rather than from a central server.

Sorry AJ....never thought about "Google"...Doh!...And I've been doing a lot of research on a project lately that has required a lot of intenet searching!....See...been a long week!...
Thanks AJ...

May I recommend the PSS 777?

I have the PSS 777-200LR and it's great.  

Most of the bugs have been worked out but everything is great to me since I installed it clean.  
Now it comes with the Fuel and Load planner for free, it used to be XLS but now it's an standalone program.

The FMC isn't hard to learn once you read thru the manual you can download in PDF and print it out.

The only thing not modeled in the PSS FMC is the 'FIX' page which PMDG does have modeled.

Plus thrust comp. isn't modeled (keeps the aircraft going it's flight path with one engine inoperative by controlling the rudder automatically)

I love the green light up fonts and display, it comes with a VC!

There is a patch coming out soon to fix all the bugs people have reported which is very minor but I have not seen or experienced them.

I did a Ultra Long Haul flight to recreate the flight Boeing did from Hong Kong to Lonodon and it was 22 hours and 30 min, had enough fuel for up to 2 hours more range.

Check it out  ;)

You could always order the RFP 747-200 Next Generation, which was totally revamped for FS-2004 from the 2002 version which I have.  It's very complex, you have to be a flight engineer also on that one.  Also, you can download CIVA from simufly.com and the optional 747-200 panel.cfg to add a triple installation of the CIVA system.  If you think FMC's are quirky try navigating with INS driven by mechanical gyros which drift and require occasional DME updating and triple mix mode on 3 unit systems for most accurate results.  You would spend as much time working with the INS system as you would with the 300 plus other functional switches, buttons and gauges.  On the 767, one thing that bothers me is that they carried over the "artistic liberty" on the 2D main panel and placed the standby gauges on pop-ups while eliminating them from the main panel view and sqweezing the efis in toward the main flight instruments, just like the old PIC from wilco.  I guess I'm picky but I want my panels whether 2D or VC to look as exactly like their realworld counterparts as possible even if it is an in-convenient arraingement to do so.
