![]() ![]() It’s a work in progress. It usually takes 20-30 hours of flight (more in long range planes) and 20-30 operations to find the best views. External views Tail view (Ctrl + Num 8) Right wing (Ctrl + Num 6) Left wing (Ctrl + Num 4) Right front (Ctrl + Num 9) Left front (Ctrl + Num 7) Front (Ctrl + Num 2) Front gear* Main gear* Left engine (Ctrl + Num 1) Right engine (Ctrl + Num 3) * – “under construction” Throttle, flaps, parking brake, spoilers, trim. Pilot looking right (Num 6 – right arrow)Ĭomms – better angle to select frequencies. Useful when performing circling approach and during ground operations. FO Jump seat Standing in the middle Overhead – back Pilot looking left (Num 4 – left arrow) ![]() Pedestal (Num 2 – down arrow) EICAS (Num 3)ĮICAS displays and buttons controlling the lower EICAS. I think that it’s more comfortable to set lights with this view. My virtual head is located high enough to see the runway when on final approach with full flaps. Screens of two FMCs are also available – so I can click them and show the 2d panel. Two nav displays are visible so that I can monitor LNAV and ILS or VOR indication at the same time. In this view I can see everything I need to control the plane on departure and approach. Cockpit views Pilot view (Num 8 – up arrow on the numeric keyboard) If you don’t use TrackIR at all, you may leave this option enabled. TrackIR is disabled in panel views to make operations easier. I created several views that I need to operate the plane and I added views that I like when taking screenshots. Special effects are disabled in my views. Make sure there is no conflict between EZDOK shortcuts and any keyboard shortcuts you may have in your FSX or P3D. I have assigned keyboard shortcuts to some of the views (numerical keyboard and numerical keyboard + ctrl). This profile was created in EZDOK v2 for the PMDG 747 v3 (QOTS II). It should be compatible with all models (freighter, BCM, ER, etc.), but you will have to import it several times (once for each 747 model). If you haven’t yet – you will need to set WideViewAspect=True option in section of your fsx.cfg. Different screens (especially smaller) may require adjusting this settings. ![]() You will get the best results with this resolution (in either windowed or full screen mode). So much of the character and shape is perfectly in place, that the airplane is a convincing presence in the sim.I created this profile for Full HD wide screens (1920×1080). The more you look at this airplane in detail within the sim, the more you will see and discover has gone into making the model a convincing replica of the real world original. Detail from nose, to engine pylons to the stabilizers and rudder- we have spared no effort to put as much detail into the model as possible. From the leading edge devices and the different materials they are made of, to the visual effect of the “sutter twist” on the wing tips. This image shows off quite a few details of our model that really make it stand out nicely for those with an eye for detail. Using the same cargo stand on which we previewed the 747-400F, we present the PMDG 747-400BCF! We are including the 400BCF in the initial release of the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II, along with her own unique loading and operating characteristics! From the updated cockpit displays, reconfigured loading menu options, to animation and operation of the main deck cargo door- we are bringing you a great rendition of the 400BCF! Unlike the native built 400F, the 747-400BCF does not have a nose cargo door, which does limit slightly the outsized cargo that can be carried aboard, but the airplane was targeting directly to existing 400F operators as a good, solid lower cost way to expand fleet size and capabilities. (Okay- the Sawzall part might be alliteration…) This market opportunity involved taking possession of the airplane, reconditioning it for freight use, using a Sawzall to create an aft, main deck cargo door, and putting the airplane back to work with a new lease on life! (You can find my overview of the 400F, which is a dedicated freighter, in an earlier post by using the search function in the forum…)Īround the turn of the century, Boeing identified a growing market for the 747-400 passenger aircraft that were coming out of service with passenger airlines around the world. “Since we spent a bit of time discussing cargo hauling on the PMDG DC-6 Cloudmaster, which is due out next week, I thought it might be appropriate to give you a bit of an update on the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II, focusing on Boeing Converted Freighter, this time! The PMDG 747 V2 update is here, I mean V3! Full post below, it’s still not in beta if you are wondering.
