There is no visual external model to speak of - just the cockpit and a tiny window that will let you see a minimal world that looks rather like fs4 as you land or take off.

I still have my copy (400 plus pages) and it is still useful for the current PMDG 747-400 products. Oddly enough, the first manual that PMDG produced was for the PS1 747 and is where the company got it's name. So I am sure that time has come to raise the bar again in 744 system simulation and I am looking forward to fly the result in 2010įor more info and a brief statement from the developer see

The preview shows about 50% of the aircraft related chapters,Īnd all of the chapter Simulator Handling.Dispite that most of us PS1 addicts some years ago sadly was informed that there would be no new version of Aerowinx Precision 744 Simulator it is now confirmed that a new version of Precision Simulator called PSx (PS 10) is under development for expected release in 2010įor those of you who know what the original Precision Simulator is all about - I am sure its great newsįor those of you who dont know a clue about what Precision Simulator is all about, then the short story is as follows:
