Hi, Im writing to report some bugs on the plane:

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Doors do not work, I tried to open the nose door on the fmc and it doesnt work
  4. No doors working for cargo doors and all the other doors
  5. An EFB would be appreciated
  6. Checklists are not working, it is impossible to mark somethign as checked right now making those useless
  7. The cursor control doesnt work either for checklists
  8. No simbrief integration
  9. Freighter shows pax on weight page of the fmc
  10. Cant load winds
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. Hydraulics are not correctly set on cold and dark mode
  14. Autopilot disconnect button on yoke doesnt work, it hides the yoke
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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.

Fix all the bugs, because they’re making it difficult to fly the plane. Also, I’m hoping for SimBrief integration soon.

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???

Model is pretty much flawless, except the backwards and rather odd aileron movements.

7

When reverse thrusters are activated only engine one has the proper animation. The reverse thruster animation is missing from engines 2-4.

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.
