Over on the avsim forums a few hours ago Airline2Sim posted some excited news regarding their next product. Which is now confirmed to be the 747-400. They teased a shot earlier in the day of what looked to be a 747 flight deck and our suspicions were correct and what a great time to be correct. With PMDG’s 747 just around the corner now I am sure that many people will be eagerly awaiting the arrival of Airline2Sim’s next training video. The pilot that will be helping them is called Roger and according to Airline2Sim was a captain on the 747 for many years with a Hong Kong based airline before he transitioned to the 777. We can only presume that he was talking about Cathay Pacific. Recently retired they have reigned in the help of him to aide them along with the process of creating a new series of videos that will show off the Queen of The Skies in all her true glory.
With the fact that he was a Hong Kong based pilot for quite some time it is exciting news to hear that a Kai Tak approach will be performed ‘properly’ to quote Ben. This approach video will be sold separately from the actual 747 training programme for those that want it but it will also be included within the 747 programme. The video will be aptly named ‘Airport2Sim Kai Tak’ and will be the first video in their new airport series. According to Ben he was a Type Rating Instructor so it is likely that we can expect a very in-depth video that will expertly teach us how to properly fly the Queen in our sims. They have also said on the post that they will try to spend more time in Asia this time as the 777 cadet programme was largely based in the USA. We look forward to seeing this product hit our shelves and we will of course keep you updated on any progress regarding this product.
As we found yesterday, we can expect a Dec 2017 release.
