Seems developers love to model early models, then throw in the most pwoerful, much later released engines for some strange, lazy reasons, As did the early -100's.īut like you said, other varients were used in the early to mid 70's. I think the -7Q was around 1979.Įven many earlier -200's had the -3AW, before upgrading to the -7/ -7AW / -7F. But, the -7R4G2 is perfectly fine for the -200, even though the -7J was more popular.īecause mosrt -200's - modeled from original release time didnt have the -7R. Really all they’d need to do for that is reduce some thrust. I’m sure their 747-100 with PW will have the -7A or similar.

Also, keep in mind it looks like the flight deck was modeled after the JAL/TRANSAERO 747-300 which also had the -7R4G2 in real life. This would make each different variant feel unique in the way each is said in Engine is that not realistic? How do we know this isn’t just for the -200 model? There were a number of -200 operators that did have the -7R4G2, including United. If they want to get fancy, they could give the -300 triple autopilot channels, in which case it would have the following:įFRATS style 'Barrel' FPD (Triple AP 4-column type) Non-FFRATS, Dual AP, style 'light cap' FPD No EPRL computer installed (Thrust & EPR Limits set manually according to charts)įFRATS style 'Barrel' FPD (Dual AP 3-column type) The way I think would be most representative of most fleets and the progression of technology would be as follows: Without these slight variations, there is not much difference between the -100 & -200, for instance. This will be a good way to make the different variants 'feel' different to the simmer. Yes, they have mentioned some variations will come to the 747! I posted about the FPD a while ago, and they responded that they will be brining in one of the newer style 'barrel' FPDs as an option.
