@Solent yup, 10000 every year, to thank the Canadians, we have never forgotten what they did for us.
There are also a lot of people who migrated to Canada after the war, so in The Netherlands it’s not that uncommon to hear that someone has family in Canada.
@Dissent3R A little update on the 747, the 747-100 with JT9D’s is almost finished, the CF6 engines are finished as well, I still have to make the RB211’s for the 747 classic, however I think that those will be done relatively quickly.
I might be able to publish the first 747’s today or tomorrow.
@Dissent3R , A little update, the flaps are done and the wings will be done after I add the flap supports and spoilers. I’m currently working on the JT9D-7A’s and will work on the RB211’s and CF6’s after that.
When the engines are finished, I only have to do the landing gear, the windows, exterior lights and doors and the 747-100 will be finished. This also means that with some minor modifications the 747-200 will be finished as well.
However it might take a little longer than usual because I have finals right now.
I edited the post as well so you can see the current progress.
@Dissent3R yeh it was, between 2018 and 2019 I had the opportunity to fly on them 6 times. Return AMS-YYZ, AMS-HKG and AMS-ICN. Those aircraft were true beauties.
I had PH-BFY (747-400M) to HKG and PH-BFW (747-400M) back to AMS.
I had PH-BFB (747-400 and at that time the oldest 747-400 in service) to YYZ and PH-BFH (747-400M) back home.
And finally I had PH-BFY again to ICN and PH-BFT (747-400M) back home.
Fun little fact about PH-BFB, the aircraft was named “The city of Bangkok”, on it’s first flight (which was to Bangkok), KLM received a plaque from the city of Bangkok which was hanged next to the stairs onboard of the aircraft.
When the aircraft retired it was put on display at the Corendon hotel next to Amsterdam Schiphol airport. As for the plaque, from what I’ve heard it was returned home to Bangkok, where it hangs in the KLM Bangkok office today.
@Dissent3R yeh it’s a fun lil fact, the CF6 is a real workhorse, it is also the best argument to shutdown Airbus diehard fans talking about how great the A330 while they bash the MD11, 767 and 747.
As the A330 is also powered by a variant of the CF6.
I still have to make the engines for the 747-100/200/300, the engines of the 747-400 are all done as they are the same as on the 767. (Fun fact, the 767 and 747-400 where on development at the same time, therefore Boeing made it so that the engines are interchangeable between the two planes).
The CF6 on the 747-100/200/300 has the same blade count as the CF6 on the 747-400, but the outside of the engine is a different shape, I still have to look into the blade count of the older RB211, otherwise I can just reshape the RB211 if they have the same blade count.
@keiyronelleavgeek566 we Dutchies are still really greatfull for the actions of Canadians and the Canadian government during the war.
Dutch people also really like Canadian folks.
@keiyronelleavgeek566 I was thinking about publishing a Canadian livery on the 6th of May to pay tribute to Canada’s role in liberating the Netherlands in WW2, how would you feel about an Air Canada livery?
(Liberation day is may 5th however the upload schedule is already at 3 planes for that day)
@Solent There are still 11 planes unlisted, of which 3 will be released every day.
They are different sub-variants of the 767 and of course the Norwegian 737MAX-8, which you helped me with.
@M109simp thanks, the fuselage for the MAX’s are ready as well, I just have to make the custom engines, however I do have resits this week so they’ll probably be ready around this weekend or next week.
@M109simp been working on them since 29th of march.
The 737-100 to 500 basically share the same tail, fuselage structure and wings, the 737NG took a little longer because they also have a new tail and wing.
@Nenormal yup, next up is the A380, maybe I’ll do a small turbo prop after and I’m thinking about doing the whole Embraer E-jet family or the A320-family after that
@Dreamlinerboi , the SP has an entirely different wing, because I started working on the 747’s during my finals period and due to the small number of operators, I skipped it for now. However I may decide later to still work on one, for now I am looking forward to building something else other than 747’s (it gets boring after a while).

+2@Solent It will be an Etihad 777-300ER, as it is quite literarily the most golden livery I know.
+2@Dissent3R A little update on the 747, the 747-100 with JT9D’s is almost finished, the CF6 engines are finished as well, I still have to make the RB211’s for the 747 classic, however I think that those will be done relatively quickly.

+1@KapitanAtuan thank you so much!
+1@Dissent3R Here is a little peak as you requested the 747
+1@keiyronelleavgeek566 , here is a sneak peek, I hope you like it.
+1So have you have ever been to Ottowa or heard about the Ottowa tulip festival? @keiyronelleavgeek566
+1@keiyronelleavgeek566 I might have a little fact for you (you probably already know it tho, but I don’t know for sure if you guys are taught this)

@Solent YOU’RE AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND
+1@Solent , a little sneak peek.
+1@Solent I think I found a way, so many damm squares tho
+1@Solent Å, beklager, tussen takk for at du fortalte meg det!
+1@Solent Jeg har publisert Norwegian Air Shuttle 737MAX, jeg tror jeg venter med E2 fra Widerøe til jeg har oppdatert E2.
+1@Solent I fear no man….but that thing (publishing) it scares me
+1@Solent There are still 11 planes unlisted, of which 3 will be released every day.
+1They are different sub-variants of the 767 and of course the Norwegian 737MAX-8, which you helped me with.
@keiyronelleavgeek566 fair
+1@TheAvgeekNextDoor I found a solution that dampenes the unwanted yawing pretty good: flight control update
+1I have an unfinished Air Greenland A338 saved as well and a brave attempt at recreating VH-ZND of Qantas (Yam Dreaming special livery)
+1@Solent Vennligst! Jeg skal laste den opp og tagge deg slik at du kan se den.
+1@Solent Hvor in norge kommen du fra?
+1Jeg lærer Bokmål for å være presis.
+1@Solent tusen takk!
+1@Solent hahaha, the SAS livery is pretty straightforward, (og jeg er nederlandsk men jeg lære norsk).
+1@Solent I think that the 737-600 of SAS will be next
+1@M109simp thanks, the fuselage for the MAX’s are ready as well, I just have to make the custom engines, however I do have resits this week so they’ll probably be ready around this weekend or next week.
+1@M109simp been working on them since 29th of march.
+1The 737-100 to 500 basically share the same tail, fuselage structure and wings, the 737NG took a little longer because they also have a new tail and wing.
@TheAvgeekNextDoor the roll physics are indeed quite messed up, I’ll try and write a yaw input to avoid the yawing problem during rolling.
+1@Zerkk good to hear that you approve, the aircraft will be posted today around 16:00 Dutch time.
+1Maybe a Embraer 190-E2
+1@Omel Thank you
+1The wings and landing gear of the a380 will be quite the challenge
@Nenormal yup, next up is the A380, maybe I’ll do a small turbo prop after and I’m thinking about doing the whole Embraer E-jet family or the A320-family after that
@voytek thank you, appreciate that!
@Aviationguy24 it was previously unlisted, all of my posts awaiting release are unlisted before.
