Recently there has been increasing evidence that the PMDG 747-8 should be released shortly. The PMDG Simulations's latest
post on Facebook even says that they are planning "a big meal" this weekend. On Thursday
another preview screenshot was published, where the PMDG 747-8 would stay now. Accordingly, the long-awaited implementation of the Boeing 747-8i for
FSX and
Prepar3D could be released in the next few days. The project has been in the beta phase since the end of June. The
product page in their online shop is also already available, but the price for the Boeing 747-8i is currently 325 million US dollars - that's how much a real jumbo jet costs. As a result, all signs are pointing to release. Recently Ronald Randazzo now
announced further information on Avsim.
