Title: What about developing a BOEING 747-SP for fsx?

Hi @all,
Would'n it not a good issue to develop a Boeing 747-SP for FSX ?
There is no SP on the market compatible with FSX, the onlx existing SP is form Aerosim, only working on FS 2004...

I Think, there are many 747-lovers within the community of FSX, and the "Baby-Jumbo" must be sold very good...
Me, I have many planes on my fsx....but I'm still missing the 747-SP, also called "Baby-Jumbo-Jet"

That's just a stubby 747, meant for longer-range routes before they had the technology for a bigger cabin. Its kinda dumb. Sorry 747, your little brother is hard to respect.

I don't think it's a kind of dumb 747: The SP is even younger than the 707!

Wrong! The 707 came out in 1954. The 747SP was in 1975. 5 year after te -100. It was before range could be extended with the big fuselage.

IMHO, why just the SP version ?

The 747-100/200/300/SP will be good!!!

The 100 without INS
and the 200/300 with 3 IRS!

:)

I'm with you there, we definitely need some more steam gauges in FSX to do it the old way. :D
And the 747 would add some really heavy metal being driven with classic instruments.

I flew the 747SP back in the 80's. TWA bought 2 of them to fly the Pacific routes. The plane was fun to fly, but didn't have a lot of room for passengers or cargo, so TWA sold them to Iran. The cockpit was the same as the -100, but with a few newer instruments.
