- Being one of the very first of the true "study-level" aircraft for Microsoft's Flight Simulator franchise, Ralph Tofflemire and VMAX created an absolute legend of an aircraft expansion in those early days of Flight Sim. Now some two decades later, let's learn how the RFP 747 came to be, how awesome it truly was, and what became of it in the years since its final updates.

This has got to be the most underrated channels in TH-cam history...Seriously your production quality is incredible.
Please don't let the relatively low numbers deter you from posting more content, your channel is a major inspiration
I really hate how underrated this channel is never give up im pretty sure you will hit it big time soon
The editing and the Jazz music look and sound like a "cockpit casual" video. You even sound like Steve. Anyway very nice video !
i was hoping you'd review this plane. I've been super interested in it since the newer felis 747-200 came out for XP11, looking forward to watching this
RFP Was a Brilliant addon. I had it and loved it when most were flying the new PMDG software. Plus i loved the programming of the INS system.
@The Flight Simulation Museum any more videos coming up? Miss your videos! They are so awesome and bring back nostalgia!
Great presentation; the RFP V2 is still in my FS9 hangar today. And I even like the lo-fi VC and the external model, in a retro way.
i first bought this around February 2005 whilst a sophomore in high school. I remember I would enjoy just flying it a little bit since i was too lazy to study the manuals lol. Now almost 20 years later, I am most definitely looking forward to reliving the moment by installing FS9 and install RFP. By now, their framerates are THROUGH THE ROOF, compared to 2005 when I installed them on the family computer.
Sometimes, going back to the predecessor gives you a DEEPER, MORE AUTHENTIC APPRECIATION for your current flight sim, whether thats Xplane 12, MSFS 2020 or P3D v5.3 I have P3D 5.3 and Xplane 11 as of today.
This plane was unreal for the time. Printing off the load sheets, fuel loads,and vspeeds was so cool. Plus, it took some training to get the bird flying.
Man what nostagia, I haven't used FS2004 in about 15 years but I remember it fondly. I remember taking off from meigs field and flying around chicago in the default C172. You are probably aware but for X-Plane 11/12 Felis has made an exceptionally good model of the 747-200 I really enjoy flying this Big Bird in X-Plane however I never feel the same as I did flying in these old simulators likeFS2004. There is just something about it maybe because I was a kid and things were just different back then now that im an adult things are alot more complicated. Thanks for making this video.
7:00 ah, simviation? I'd recognize that yellow anytime.
Keep it up 👍
OMG!! this addon was my addiction! requesting Level-D 767 Plz . thx for bringing back the good old days .
Thanks for the review. I used this aircraft a lot and completing a flight with the CIVA INS and all the procedures was so rewarding.
Wow memory lane! Great video you have a new sub Sir!
Another video idea although it strays into modern times, the fall of Captain Sim. Some of my fave addons back in the day were by that team, I hear nothing but bad now but man booting up the 727 still feels great
i never knew there was a nose section cabin in a 747 for msfs2004. Impressive.
An amazing video. Please make more
Can’t wait for your next retrospective!✈️
Great video that brings back memories. Thanks!
This video is actually pretty nice! Well done, kept me watching the whole length
These are all very well done, keep going.
Awesome video Chris. Keep up the good work.
Great review! I've desperately looked for a sim study steam gauge 747 for FSX and this plane is the closest out there. There are some converted RFP versions that sort of work (I'm trying to fix or add to it a bit currently). I really like all the special features of this plane like lights in the cargo and pax areas, fully working and individual external/internal lights, animated rear wheel steering, etc.
I didn't even noticed the elec system was fake, I have figured it out without manual, and the procedure actually works with Felis 742 now I use....
Keep on making content. You’re taking me back to my childhood.
Subbed! The nostalgia is strong and it takes me back to my own golden age of flight sim curiosity.
Cool format for a retrospective on those add-ons that pretty much everybody knew back then.
I'm probably the absolute biggest fan of this channel. Absolutely amazing content, I also consider myself somewhat of a flight simulation historian with an emphasis on FS2004.
It's so wonderful to see content like this, thanks!
My fave FS9 addons: SSTSIM Concorde, PMDG 747-400, Level D 767, HJG 707-320C, Dreamfleet 727 and Carenado Cessna 182
I still take every single one of those and more for a spin every now and again.
Definitely had to sub after watching. Really high production value for this channel size. Hopefully the algorithm gives this video and channel the views and subs it deserves.
Good video!
Top game to do an oversimplified joke. Keep this vids coming, they are very pleasant to see.
I remember spending hours trying to merge the RFP 747 panel with the Project OpenSky 747 external model without much success lol.
I found it pretty easy. Using the "alias" feature worked nice.
Great video! Watched it all the way to the end. Nice to see what the model was all about. It was one I always wanted when I was younger but never was able to purchase. Please continue to make more content like this as it brings back a lot of happy memories from my younger years.
Nice video! Ever thought about reviewing Aerowinx PSX (or PS1.3 to keep it retro😉)? And how is it going with your 747 classic, I'm really looking forward to it :).
So cool at that time
Hi there thank you so much for your videos! I can't wait to see what else you do. Would love to see you review Pilot in Command 737 classic or Fspassengers in time, PIC was the first payware I bought and always makes me think of fs9!
Maybe you could look into scenery like Ground Environment pro, which I remember distinctly buying in a box from a game shop and when I installed it I thought it made the autogen amazing! Lost the disc so can't confirm anymore lol
Keep up the great work! All the best
Is it possible you might cover 737 PIC and the level D 767? I have both of those plus the PMDG 737/747 for fs9, I would love to see how to update fs9's navdata to match the PMDG planes's own data or how to get the sids/stars for the level D.
Your content is absolutely great, you need SO many more pepole
Not to worry, all of those that you mentioned will eventually become videos on this channel!
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned PMDG yet. They made manuals for a lot of aircraft before they started in FS9 with the 737 NG, the 747-400, Beach 1900D and MD11.
Don't worry, PMDG (and their early history) are very much on my hit list for videos. :)
Are you ever thinking of taking a look at some FSX addons at some point? I myself didn't spend much time in FS9 back in the day, so i can't relate to much with the older addons.
At some point there will probably be FSX and related add-ons but I could not say for sure when that may be
Lovely! Please cover the PIC 767 panel and the Level-D evolution of it!
Yeeah :) i loved my Level-D 767 so much
I recently discovered that there was a freeware port of the RFP 747-200 to FSX, and well i flew it badly lol.
Where can i get?
I agree that the POSKY model shape was much better than RFP
Do a video on the posky series
Anyone else watching in 2004?
Oh yeah for sure!
How do I get the INS to work without crashing?
Could you do the 50north 737?
I could probably make a video about it sometime, or at least slip it into a video about 737 classics in Flight Sim somewhere. Being pretty much only an exterior model it wouldn't be a long video.
Will you review the 777 professional or the classic CLS DC-10 for FS2004?
The 777 Professional is definitely on my list, as is a video about PSS in general. The CLS DC-10 is maybe somewhere down the line but I'm not sure yet.
How would I get your custom panel?
My customized panel has not yet been released. I do plan to release it once it is finished but there is still quite a lot left to do.
@@FlightSimMuseumOfficialOh ok any updates on it’s progress now?
How do I get your custom panel?
The panel isn't finished yet, it's a very slow work in progress. Once it releases I will make a video on it and show you where you can get it. If you'd like to follow development progress, head over to the FSDeveloper forum, go to the Showroom subforum, and look for the thread "FS2004: Boeing 747 Classic"
@@FlightSimMuseumOfficialdo you have any knowledge on fsx captainsim 707? Trying to use ISG gauges but it refuses to follow LNAV
@@FlightSimMuseumOfficial Can't wait for it, this will bring new life to FS2004, btw is it a payware or a freeware?
It will be completely freeware :)
