Aren't the widebodies supposed to be realeased in August, it is the 30th so we are pretty close....

[joelyboy911]

Don't get too excited just yet.

A word about release timing: there's many projects happening at once here, and the previously-announced schedule makes no sense any longer. The 747 set will likely be end of September, with the remaining types filling the rest of the year. I will keep the idea of the request thread for when they're complete. But the timeframe for that is rapidly slipping towards next year, because experience shows each pack takes 2-3 months to complete.

Uh, am I missing something? A new 747? What?

[Jack Bauer]

All these 747 are perfect!! BA's 747 is really well-done and this is the new version painted with one world!!!

[Jayster]

Get close to the end of Semptember, i'm beginning to get excited again 

[PLT]

We're still busy preparing the pack, we won't make the end of September.
However, I can tell you were working on it as fast as possible!
That's why we don't do release dates, it will be done when it's done, not earlier. 

[Jack Bauer]

Are you planning to make other 747 liveries such as the Air France, Korean air, thai or El Ai version?

[RG59061]

We have a few new liveries in the pipeline on the 747...but I'm not sure exactly what Voltaire is considering for additional schemes.

I will pass your requests for Air France, El Al, and Korean Air to him.

We do have several other aircraft to get underway...so again, not sure if Voltaire wants to extend the 747-400 series.

Thank you so much for the interest Jack! Keep your eyes on us, we are gonna have a release coming soon.

small update


The 747 set is moving forward again; the upgrades I wanted took much longer than anticipated. Recently, I've been concentrating on equipment items (like the tug), because they'll be useful in multiple upcoming aircraft sets.

There are still several unannounced additions to the 744 fleet, they'll be ready to show in a few weeks.


New Supertug will be used in the 744 and 787 series:

[Butters]

Wow! First post here, and I must say that the BA Oneworld 747 looks amazing! That supertug is a great addition to any airport just by itself  .

[RG59061]

Welcome to the AC Team board! Glad you like the BA 747-4 One World. If you haven't downloaded it yet, the Airbus A320 pack has a BA A321...and it looks great...and will compliment the BA 747-4 once it is released!

Think, you could start making your own version of London Heathrow!

Keep your eyes peeled, we have more coming once they are ready.

Thanks!
RG

Amazing work guys! 

I hate to reiterate, but Joelyboy911 mentioned a Jetstar A320 without jetways, that would be excellent!

Can't wait for that Qantas 747!

[KoV Liberty]

Uh, a new 747 pack? Why haven't I heard of this!

[Jayster]

Aw another long awaited project I can't wait for....... keep up the good work guys!

[bobthebobthe]

nice work cant wait til your next release!

New Aircraft

It's been very quiet in here lately, be assured great progress is being made. The 747 pack this time around is not going to be more of the same planes we made in 2007. We are doing new things with the aircraft and the Lots, and I needed time to get everything modeled and planned for production. Many AC members are working together on this one, not just me -- it's a big change from how we've done things before.

Some of you may be aware, that Boeing has completed assembly of the first real 747-8F. I've been working for several months now on building it for SimCity, and I'd say it's coming along nicely 




The -8 is signifcantly different than the 747-400, from a modelling perspective: new wings, windows, engines, cargo doors, plus the existing -4F doors. The whole pack features the latest revisions in lighting - many improvements in the -8F have been copied into the 747-400 as well.

More announcements coming as we begin the production Lots.

[joelyboy911]

Very nice stuff there Voltaire. Looking forward to the New Zealand planes, as always. 

[strucka]

Great job there!
Now could I make a small request?
A request for my national carrier. Just the smaller planes. CRJ's, A320's and 737's =)

Here are some pictures, I don't know what the process is, but if you would be kind enough to do it and if there is no difference with either you put one livery on the boeing's and the other on the other two, then boeing has this livery:
http://www.avsim.com/slovenia/slo_v_fs/files/ACFT2K4/IMAGES/B737-528_URGAS.jpg (please make that the 737-900)

and the other two have roughly the same:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/3024356173_6e2e247439.jpg    for the A320 and 319

http://www.avsim.com/slovenia/slo_v_fs/files/ACFT2K2/IMAGES/CRJ_AAF%20gmax%202k2.jpg   for the CRJ

As said before, if you simply stick it on, then it would be delightful if these can be real, but if there is even a ici bici tiny little difference, than just make them all like the A320 and the CRJ.

I would be very grateful if you could do this for me, but if you don't have time, then i fully understand. Have a nice day folks!

Hello Strucka,

Thank you for your interest in the AC Team! We always love hearing from our fans and fellow aviation enthusiasts.

The 737 and A320 projects have already launched so the liveries that have been released are the ones that have been made, I don't know if there is going to be a second livery pack on the 737s and A320s, but I will pass your request on.

We are currently moving forward with new Aircraft Types to expand the varying types of aircraft offered and for in play with SC4. These include the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental and 787 Dreamliner as well as more.

If any new liveries were to be made for the 737 and A320s, the team would make them from scratch, as there is a copyright conflict with Flight Simulator liveries and their own creators.

I can't make an ultimate decision about your livery request, but again I will pass it along to the entire team and to Voltaire to review.

Again, thank you for your interests in the AC Team and keep checking back here, we will have some great new packs coming down the line.

Sincerely,
RG59061

Thank you very much! And don't worry about checking, I check the AC and the NAM every day =)
