747 Classic wish list

After the preview of the L1011, I was think it would be nice for everyone to voice their thoughts on what they would like to see IF CS ever decided to create the 747 classic series.

Personally I would like to see an option for having INS or FMS navigation as well as conventional engine gauges along with an option for the newer Electronic engine display and the older Tape version.

I can only assume that if they ever made the 747 Classic it would include the 100/200 both pax and cargo versions and possibly a 300 varient. It would surprise me if we also saw an Air Force 1 varient as well.

One last option I would like is the ability to use 3rd party gauges. I know that CS can't give us every single option under the sun but it would also be nice to have the option for adding an EFIS display as some of 747 Classic operators have installed. Immediately Kalitta Air comes to mind as they have totally modernized their fleet of 747 Classics.

If CS ever makes the 747 classic it should definitely include 747-100/200 as basepack as those two have only minor differences between each other, then 747-300 and 747SP & cargo version of 747-100 & 200 as expansions.

And yeah I agree, having both INS and FMS would be nice.

Sorry, but INS only would be my preference there though. Just like in their 707. Cool

Allow me to correct you on that one. The default 707 installation offers a separate panel.cfg (from CS) to run a single INS unit via popup and the VC 'dummy'. The things you are seeing as community-made additions are the twin unit installations or other modifications of that concept.

So, yes, CS does offer an INS variant for the 707 right out of the box.  Smiley

Well it shouldn't be a problem for CS to have two versions, one with INS and one with FMC.

I would like to add my 2 cents on this FMC debate...

there is a great 747 with an FMC available and it's going to be a bit nicer here soon...

I hope CS keeps it a "classic"...no after market mods.

and I feel the same way about the 300, might as well fly the 400 Smiley

Whatever, those who want to fly with INS can do so even if CS makes also a version with FMC, it's only plus to have multiple different versions.

I fly 747-236B (real world sim) all the time so it would be nice to have one at home...retrofitted with an ND and FMC.

agree.
there is currently lot of -200 or -200f in service with FMC.
It's a good addition for a modern or 80/90 addon style
