When we say Queen of the Skies, we mean the …… When we say 747-8 Series, we say SSG Anniversary Edition.
According to SSG “the release of the 747-8 Intercontinental version 2.x is something that continues on the version 1.x. Version 2.x has a complete remodelled external model with a lot of new features, while the 3D cockpit is also reworked and system are introduced or improved.” Your personal reporter Angelique van Campen who has been a short period technical instructor on the 744, takes the challenge to master this very big Jumbo Jet. Oops, that the old nickname of the 747-100/200 Series.
According to Angelique “The 3D model is really gorgeous and as far as I could compare the SSG model with real 747-8 external photos, it seems nothing is missing and a lot of work has been put into it. The 3D SSG cockpit is as well modeled with a lot of passion and with a brand new “real” aircraft feel. It’s difficult to say how much of a weathered look should be added.”
Curious what Angelique has to say? I bed you are, but watch out .. the overall review is over 14.000 words, so a very long read, but a very interesting read. Go ahead and follow this comprehensive SSG 747-8i V2 review.
