Captains,
This afternoon we have released a significant update for the PMDG 747 Queen of the Skies II product line. This update provides many enhancements, new features, fixes and corrections to both the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II and PMDG 747-8 Queen of the Skies II products. In addition, this update adds compatibility with the new Prepar3D v5 (P5D) platform in both the product itself and the installer mechanism.
This update cycle is significant and with the addition of the new platform it is a bit complex, thus we are pushing the update *only* through a renewed installer. Future updates will come to you as established micro-updates, but for this build want to be sure that we get all users up to at least this build minimum in order to ensure product quality on a global scale.
With this build you will find updated models in both the external and VC variety, both with numerous PBR improvements where we thought they would enhance the look of the model. We have upgraded the physics model to improve wing flex across all ranges of flight, including some new force inputs that will cause the wing to be significantly more life like during ground operations, particularly during acceleration and taxi. The physics now extends to the tail-plane and you will see flexing and vibration induced by airflow from thrust, spoiler deployment and other factors. We have improved the ground handling capabilities of the airplane so it will now turn corners correctly and reflect accurate turn radius with full deflection of the nose wheel.
Pushback now includes the ability to select multiple push modes as in the NGXu, and we have given you the ability to drive the pushback tug yourself. (Use your stick: forward/back for speed and left right to steer.)
Numerous corrections/enhancements and other fixes have been added and we think you will find the overall polish to really enhance the airplane nicely.
Some Notes for P5D Users:
With this update we have added the ability to install the airplane into P5D. Compatibility with this new platform goes quite a bit deeper than simply updating the installer however, as we had to make significant internal changes to the product in order to accommodate changes in lighting, terrain scanning for the EFB, airport moving map display data, and numerous other factors.
Users switching to P5D please know that we have a number of new features we can take advantage of within the new platform, but these additions will roll in at a later date as we are primarily focused on moving the various product lines into the new platform at this juncture. Features such as 8.33Mhz spacing and the like will come soon enough.
Also please know that you may need to experiment a bit with the visual settings in P5D to get things to look the way you like. The final results will vary from customer to customer depending upon your preferences and your choices, but given the hybrid and highly editable nature of the P5D visual environment as it currently stands, we have had to find a middle ground option for textures that will allow the airplane to look correct across a very broad spectrum of possible lighting and rendering options. Your choices will have an impact on how things are displayed, and we strongly recommend that you play around with the settings until you find what works best for you.
(For example: Some of our beta testers love HDR. They reported that using HDR tended to make text on certain surfaces in the cockpit appear gauzy in P5D. Adjusting bloom levels will mitigate this, but cause textures to appear darker than normal in corners of the cockpit. Likewise then layering the new Enhanced Atmospherics into the rendering equation would tend to lighten things up nicely, but further adjustments to HDR could cause textures to bleach out in well lit places. And of course, all of this seems to vary slightly depending upon which hardware and which drivers you were using… In other words there are a million ways to get the sim to render the image to the screen, and each will have trade-offs you will need to consider in your choices…)
Obtaining This Update:
Due to the size and complexity of this update, we are requiring all users to obtain the installer from their eCommerce account. Simply go to www.pmdg.com and scroll to the page bottom. Look for CUSTOMER and SIGN IN/REGISTER and log into your account. In your account history you can redownload both the 747-400 and 747-8 installers (if you purchased the 747-8, that is!) and off you go!
Operations Center Update:
Please note that when you install this update, it will automatically bring you up-to-date with the PMDG Operations Center. If this update fails, or if you prevent it from taking place (please don't) then you will not have access to liveries for the 747 product line in P5D... The Operations Center update rolled out globally yesterday, but most customers will likely see that update take place automatically when installing this new version of the 747 product line.
Scenery Update Notes:
During the transition to P5D, we found that many scenery developers are quickly updating their installers to make them P5D compatible, but many are not *also* taking the step to re-export the scenery BGLs in order to make them compliant with the P5D SDK. This would cause the 747 to be unable to read those airport scenery in order to display the airport moving map on the navigation display. We have created some logic in the EFB that will use some heuristics to attempt to determine if the scenery file is P5D compliant, and if not, it will switch to treating it as a P4D scenery and attempt to import the data. Please note that this is not perfect- and some scenery might not read correctly if it hasn't been exported using the P5D SDK. This is an issue for the scenery developers to resolve- but we *think* we have mitigated it in most circumstances in order to give you the least amount of headache possible.
Information for Aerosoft Customers:
We are providing copies of these updates to Aerosoft. You will need to obtain them from there through their normal update process. It *is* Friday, and while they have quickly updated on weekends in the past, if that doesn't happen right away please do be polite and kind to their support team- it isn't their fault that we landed on a weekend night...
##Late Edit for Active Sky Users##
Active Sky Issues:
Please note that we received word late in the day on 06MAY20 from HiFi Simulations that we will need to make changes to the 747 in order to maintain compatibility with their latest update for weather radar sources provided by ActiveSkyP3D. It would have been tremendously helpful to know this was coming, as we could have included the changes in this build, but we were not informed of the pending changes during a period of time when we naturally could have done something about it. As a result, weather radar functionality is currently inoperative in the 747 and we have already shifted the dev team onward. We will circle back to make these changes, but I do not know when that will happen just yet.
## End Late Edit for Active Sky Users##
Note for P3D v3 and FSX Users:
Just a quick reminder that we announced in December 2018 that we are no longer developing on any 32bit platforms, which includes FSX, FSX-SE and Prepar3D v3. We are still providing you with technical support on those platforms, but we are not actively updating functionality for our products on those platforms. For Prepar3D v3 owners, you already own rights to upgrade your Prepar3D v3 experience to v4 and/or v5 using the same installer, so if you elect to upgrade to the newer simulation, you are already set to go!
Change List for this build:
This change list is not all-inclusive, but covers items we discussed with our beta and technical teams during this update cycle.

This afternoon we have released a significant update for the PMDG 747 Queen of the Skies II product line. This update provides many enhancements, new features, fixes and corrections to both the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II and PMDG 747-8 Queen of the Skies II products.
