Flight Sim 2004
 

Anyone know where I can get a good B747-400 package for Microsoft FS 2004?

I have tried the packages from Project Open Sky but the simulaion is very basic and the aircraft is generic and not like a real -400. It also does not display the overhead panel or center panel. I have heard F/Os talking about a good package (could even program the FMS) but don't remember the name.

Any suggestions, please?

PMDG's is top notch.

Thanks a lot - I'll check it out

744 Simulation
 

If your looking for a realistic 744 simulation, forget FS2004. Try the following sim. It recreates ALL the 744 systems, including failures etc.
Precision Simulator www.aerwinx.com
Used when on the -400. it was awsome for sim prep etc.
Cheers

FS10 is out now, aka FSX. Doubt there will be a follow up for some time as Microsoft have disbanded the sim team.

Damned SOLD OUT!!!


However...i think pmdg has one of the most realistic add-on for msfs9.

Good for navigation practises.

Talk to this guy, he'll know......Matt's on a different plane ... and it's surreal - Technology - smh.com.au

Precision simulator...
 

Precision Simulator is still available but second hand.
Astonished to find out that many flight and engineering schools uses this software.
I could lay my hand on a copy, and I confirm that this is the most realistic software ever made to simulate flying, navigation but more specifially the B 744 specifications.
:D

Flight Simulator for sale
 

If anyone is interested I am giving away my PC and 19 inch monitor with CH Flight Sim Yoke and Pedals. Installed on the system is the 747 aerowinx program and Flight Sim 2004(running windows 98). PC works great and so do the controls however someone with more computer savvy than me will have to get the two to talk to eachother. In an attempt to get it ready for sale I took the computer in to have it installed in a new case. In the process the wizards at the comp. lost the drivers for the gameport and I haven't touched it since. I used this setup as an SO and it was great for practicing handling and keeping the scan up. Free to anyone that wants to pick it up! Lantau Island. PM me if interested

You an try: AVSIM Online - Flight Simulation, Flightsim, flight sim, flight simulator, fsx, fs10 or Project Open Sky | projectopensky.com

Precision Simulator is good. It was used for training when I did my 744 course. But it doesn't work with Vista.

Not sure about the B747 but there is a vg CX777 download for the X-plane 9 sim.

can personally vouch for fs2004 or fsx and pmdg.

You can upload the current nav database to it and have all the stars, sids and approaches you need. EICAS is fully functional, so are all the switches and knobs.

It is essentially the real thing without hydraulics and 4am sign on times.

Can somebody give a quick overview on how to tweak the PMDG settings so they match CX 744s?
I am waiting for a startdate 2010+ hopefully ;o)

Not much you need chnage to match the exact CX 744 specifications.

You can set the units to KG's. And dont use the taxi light switch since the RR CX 744s dont have it either and dont think they Autostart, so dont use it.

Everything else is pretty much standard.
