Score 1.0

Installation: In my installation of 747x, there were already 2 times violent problems. The first time did not have the complete outer skin of all pilots. So I Only Had Wings, rows of seats and a cockpit! After installing a different add-ons, the Jumbos no longer any other add-ons but already functioned. I had to completely reinstall FSX. Also I had to uninstall individually by hand, because otherwise conflicts arose the 747-400X Liverys. Meanwhile, however, go all 747 including paintings. Therefore, the installation gets only 2 stars * *.

Accompanying material: could not be better. A Handbook (~ 65 pages) with sample flights, checklists and program functions, a second FMC Manual (~ 50 pages) with the functions of the Flight Management Systems. Both completely in German. The accompanying literature is rounded still with a small poster of the key elements of the instruments. Good as It Gets more light and is much more than you expected. Therefore, for this section 5 star * * * * *.

Outdoor model: Delivered the Boeing 747-400 as cargo and passenger version. The offer is given to the engine configurations PW, RR and GE. On the homepage you can download to all current 747-400 operators as painting. The wings flex when you lift and the main landing gear directs the curves on the floor with a. After switching off the hydraulics give to the flaps. In severe turbulence commute the winglets. The exterior model is fully managed - here they gave a lot of effort! Therefore, clearly 5 star * * * * *.

Interior: Excellent! Virtually all buttons and switches can be operated and have functions (is me personally very important). It can be the control wheel Adjust the height, the seats can be moved, armrests can be folded up, the cockpit door can be opened and locked, sun visors can be let down, and more! The upper deck of the machine (1st class) is walkable. Full five stars for the interior * * * * *.

Lighting: All lights can be operated by pressing a button. From Logo-light through successive stages of the cockpit lighting. This looks really authentic * * * * *.

Sound: Unique. All five engine types have their individual sound and all listen to really good! If you switch during the flight times from a nozzle, or even better, you can be an engine fire, so you can hear an orchestra full of acoustic warning signals and alarms error messages. Simply Super * * * * * star

System Depth: collision warning system is available, FMC is working well and the Auto-country feature is excellent. One can fuel drain and there is a functioning fire fighting system for cargo space, engines and APU! It lacks a weather radar. When download the real weather data can in flight to a strange left-right corners of the plane come in the on autopilot mode. I doubt that the real in Jumbo and so is therefore four stars * * * *.

Extras: Original checklists for printing, comprehensive program for system failures, loading program for luggage containers, passengers and fuel. Almost too bulky * * * * *.

Price: For this detailed package perfectly adequate !!!

Conclusion: If you like want to possible real fly, this training package should allow for Jumbo pilot !!! It also makes it hellishly fun easy with as many system faults to fly time on the plane, and then to put his skills very superiority in convincing style or practice (For example, a failure of the power supply during a rainy night flight :-P). Therefore suitable for beginners. Clearly five STARS !!! And kudos to PMDG! For this program, there should be seven stars!
