On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
lightning of the mcp, fmc and other parts of the plane at nigh time, the green light for instance for lnav, vnav buttons is not showing, which makes it hard to know if it is engaged or not
the light of the glareshield panel is also bugged, it shows 3 green lights above L INBD LWR CTR AND R INBD which is a bug as it should only light one
Doors do not work, I tried to open the nose door on the fmc and it doesnt work
No doors working for cargo doors and all the other doors
An EFB would be appreciated
Checklists are not working, it is impossible to mark somethign as checked right now making those useless
The cursor control doesnt work either for checklists
No simbrief integration
Freighter shows pax on weight page of the fmc
Cant load winds
There is no way to request a external power, I loaded into SKBO cargo terminal and GPU was not available and currently there is no way to request it via en EFB or something, that is something that may affect all other aircraft that use an external power.
when no external power is available, turning on the apu works but as soon as I connect the APU GEN 1 and 2 the apu shuts down for some reason
Hydraulics are not correctly set on cold and dark mode
Autopilot disconnect button on yoke doesnt work, it hides the yoke
The weight and balance is all sorts of broken, the fmc weight and balance on the options page is broken and it does not load anything properly other than the fuel.
Using the EFB for weight and balance is not user friendly at all and it fails frequently, again, weight and balance is really broken and personally I dont like the new default EFB implementation. It is not even possible to move the CG, it really is broken
Spoilers are broken and are not realistic when compared to the spoilers level position
Thanks for the great plane, I hope this bugs get sorted as I love the 747
Hynopsya hit the nail on the head. The inclusion of both -8F and -8I is wonderful and both appear to be much more detailed than the default -8I in 2020. I would appreciate it if Asobo and MS would help the 747 live on with a solid reproduction in FS24. The above noted bugs would make the use of the 747s much more immersive.
Every time I use this aircraft, I’m placed way outside in front of the aircraft and, I’m constantly having to reset my keyboard bindings for each aircraft. For instance, I bind Toggle Parking Brakes for button 1 on my Force Feedback and apply it to all aircraft. If I change aircraft for another flight or reboot, I have to reset my bindings. Waist a lot of time doing this, not to mention there’s way too many configurable settings!! There are also no clear instructions for some of the new features, like EFB???
engine three and four wrong fan blade spinning. start engine 4 and fan blade on 3 spins, start 3 and fan blade on 4 spins. I don’t understand how this is missed in testing… I saw it the very first time I used the 747.
These are all problems I’m having. The default EFB is absolute garbage. They need to make a user-friendly efb like the ones IniBuilds have. Also, my wings hang really low.
I think the doors on the 747-8F need some work. You can´t open them from within the plane, and the cargo door on the captain’s side is invisible after it´s been opened. Plus, there could be some more liveries for the freighter variant.
1.The FMCs’ brightness is unadjustable, the BRT buttons are hard to use and dont take effect.
2.This “R ISLN” text is not aligned with “L ISLN” and seems to be levitating in the air, off the Pack panel.
Completely agree with the EFB assessment. Then, when it has the option of loading the values into the plane, you hit it, then check in the plane’s weight and balance on the CDU, and it does not reflect what is set up, so what’s the point?
What I don’t understand is the same Working Title entity that worked on the 2020 is responsible for this, and it doesn’t even close to show the same level as 2020, much less advances.
Though not an all inclusive list, I will use this in Beta Testing and report back. You hit on most of my major frustrations. Another two I have are that 1) they should offer both the 747-8i and 747-8F as their own standalone aircraft.
2) the braking system needs reworking. Individual brakes assigned don’t work individually and the parking brake assigned doesn’t work and needs to be manipulated with the mouse in order to work.
All these issues are still present in the latest SU1 beta build. On top of these, the instruments are barely readable under bright daylight. I had a flight from WSSS to EDDF today and I had trouble reading any of the instruments when I took off from Singapore at around 1:00 pm local time. Also, I couldn’t pop out any of the instruments to another window, which made the lack of readability even worse.
The flight model is beyond absurd. full up trim @ 10 degree flaps with 50% loading and the plane barely gets off the runway. Give us access to the flight_model.cfg so at least we can fix the issues.
The wing registrations (top and bottom) are on a fixed position, not attached to the wing itself, so when there is wingflex, the registrations phase through the wing.
