You can't use the 747-8 at all on FSAirlines, none have been delivered to customers yet.

Indeed, I'd like to know how you get past the aircraft config issues since 747-8 is not the same as 747-400 (or any other variant currently in the database). If you modified the 747-8 CFG to be able to fly it in FSAirlines, there's strike #1 and you need to reverse it and let us know via support ticket or e-mail any flights you might have completed using this model so we can figure out what happened because you shouldn't be able to fly a 747-8 and the client get past the opening screen.

the pmdg 748-8 is not a true -8. its just the visual model of the -8 but it uses the -400's fde and all other files so it is useless when the -8 is available for here because of this...CAPFlyer wrote:Indeed, I'd like to know how you get past the aircraft config issues since 747-8 is not the same as 747-400 (or any other variant currently in the database).

Hey All,
On FSAirlines i know that we don't have 8i's as of yet but apparently you can use your PMDG on there and it will come under 747.400. But every time i try and use it, i have issue with the fuel settings as FSAirlines cannot change the PMDG fuel module.
There has to be some way around it!?!?
Thanks, Dale.

A) You shouldn't be using the 747-8I with FSA. That's against the rules as I recall.
B) See the thread in Tips and Tricks about refueling for PMDG.

No, there is no way around it until PMDG releases a true 747-8 flight file and the 747-8 becomes available for use here. Otherwise, you are cheating.bordy_8822 wrote:There has to be some way around it!?!?
