This tool is designed to enhance crew awareness of the aircraft’s position relative to the vertical profile of their flight. New to the 747 family of aircraft is the Vertical Situation Display. Additionally, we have modeled all of the trouble-shooting checklists associated with hard-to-nail-down failures in the airplane that may not be immediately obvious to the crew, but that may impact your ability to complete a long-haul flight. New with the 747-8 are interactive checklists that will prompt you for deferred items to be accomplished later in a flight if necessary when handling non-normal situations. Follow those steps and you will have the airplane reconfigured to complete the mission in no time at all.
The ECL will walk you very easily through all phases of flight and will provide you with detailed step-by-step guidance through how to handle any message that appears as a result of mechanical failure, from a failed fuel pump to a complete catastrophic engine failure, the ECL is your friend. The advanced Electronic Check List (ECL) system is included and fully functional for all normal and abnormal modes. In reality, the ECL is controlled by the cursor control wheel at the top corner of the throttles. By default, the ECL allows you to click on the items as if the screen were a touch screen.
The EFB is a central hub for performance calculations, charts, reference documents, and pilot utilities.įor those familiar with our 777 aircraft, you will be right at home with the ECL on the 747-8 although there are minor differences in the interface. The Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) is a new feature to our product lines, introduced in the PMDG 747-8 Queen of the Skies II in order to bring an additional layer of immersion into the sim. The Airport Map Display function allows the crew to display the airport environment around the aircraft, with the aircraft positioned on top of the map to aid in situational awareness. The VC's geometric modeling work is amazingly complete, accurate down to fractions of an inch as measured in the real cockpit. The Virtual Cockpit includes dozens of physical layout options: ADF, ISFD, RMIs, push to talk and taxi light options, and many more that are specific to aircraft model type as well as airline/operator specific options. Texturing work is beautiful, with just the right amount of shine. Both models are equipped with the GEnx-2B67B engines along with their own accurately modelled performance data.Įxterior models are richly detailed with complex Leading Edge Devices and flap mechanisms unique to the 747-8, realistic articulating main gear trucks, wing flex that reflects the ground bumps while taxing, as well as realistic in-flight flex modeling. These include the 747-8 passenger model and the 747-8F Freighter model. The PMDG 747-400 Queen of The Skies II Base Package for FSX is REQUIRED.Īll variants of the 747-8 are included. This product is the FSX Expansion Package for the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II product line. 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 addon aircraft. No less than 35 pages of detailed options from the world's 747-8 fleets are modelled. We have included both the -8 passenger and -8F Freighter variant in this single package.
This package contains a simulation of the PMDG 747-8 and -8F Queen of the Skies II models including the full functioning Virtual Cockpit, a detailed tutorial, PMDG 747 Tutorial and the PMDG OPS Center.ĭeveloped over 5 years and building upon all of the award-winning features of the 747-400 v3 Queen of the Skies II, the PMDG 747-8 Queen of the Skies II Expansion Pack is packed with high technology. PMDG is proud to present the latest and upgraded model of the 747 family - the 747-8.
