After the great success of PMDG's 737 The Next Generation series, the latest production of PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies 
is destined to become every airliner enthusiast's favorite Flight Simulator aircraft.

 

PMDG 747-400 


In order to provide the sophistication, technical details and challenge of commercial airline flying to the enthusiast, we have ensured
that PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies meets exacting standards for quality and completeness. From the photo-real cockpit to
systems programmed after engineering schematics, no effort has been spared during the extensive development process. This has
been verified by our dedicated beta test team, comprised of aviation professionals, airline pilots and Flight Simulator experts. 

 

747-400 Queen of the Skies Product Details

  • GMax 747-400 Model - Accurately modeled down to the smallest detail complete with high resolution textures and three different engine variants
  • Airplane Animations - Hundreds of animated parts on the exterior model bring the 747-400 to life, with realistic gear, flap and slat movement, all passenger and cargo doors operable (with corresponding indications in the cockpit) and all control surfaces moving like their real-world counterparts
