Previews

Twitch stream Chewwy94 has been granted special access to the beta version of the upcoming PMDG 747-8. With access to the latest from PMDG, he took to the stream-waves and spent several hours going through new systems, features, view points and more that the community can expect upon release.

Chewwy covers things such as the new on-board systems, the PMDG Rain Maker, the brand new ACARS system and how it links in with the announcement of PMDG Global Flight Ops. There was lots of great things shown off in the 8 hour stream and even a few PMDG faces popped in to say hello.

With the aircraft now really being shown to the world, we can only guess that a release is closer than not. Just to save you time, release dates and prices were not mentioned in the stream by either Chewwy or PMDG developers.

In a recent post on their website, Coolsky announced the port of the Super 80 Classic, Super 80 Pro and DC-9 Classic products to Prepar3D V4.

The developers have said that they have spent the last few months beta testing the DC-9 Classic and the Super 80 Pro, with the Super 80 Classic to enter the testing phase in the near future. The P3Dv4 versions of the aircraft will not have any major new features compared to the FSX versions, with the main focus being on making sure the aircraft will work in P3Dv4. The only difference is that the DC-9 Classic flight centre will be included in all aircraft.

Coolsky has stated that the P3D versions of the products will be a separate purchase from the FSX versions, with pricing and discounts for existing customers yet to be decided. No release date has been announced but Coolsky has said that users can expect release ‘soon’…
