I tell you, making a Capt sim 747 would take 3 years with all the cabin, animation, gauges and everything else-it would be their biggest project yet! I think. Pete

I don't think that making gauges and all that would make any longer than making them for CS 707 took, really 747 doesn't have that much more gauges than any other airliner from same era. Yeah virtual Cabin would take a lot of time, but of course they wouldn't necessarily have to model complete cabin but just part of it like they did with their 757.
