Is this the same aircraft sitting at the Museum of Flight?

I haven't really been paying attention to the flightsim market lately. Have there been any good flight simulators that have been released since Microsoft canned MSFS? I absolutely loved FS2004 and FSX.

I don't think so. The very first 747 is the one they have outside near the Concorde.

Sorry, I don't know. I haven't messed much with PC sims in a long time. I do have X-Plane for the ipad and it is ok.

Lockheed Martin released a product called Prepar3d. It's the same code base, but it's "not for entertainment purposes." "You're not supposed to purchased a license for gaming reasons." "It's a teaching tool and not a video game."
Note all the quotes. I should add a *stomp stomp stomp* *wink* after each one. An academic license is $60. Have at it.

I wonder why they don't want people "playing" it? They want it to be taken seriously?

From what I've been told, it's because the deal they made with MS says that their software can not be used for gaming purposes. So they jump up and down and yell about how this isn't a game.
And then they sell it to anyone.

I think this one is sitting in pieces at the Everett plant. I'll see if I can find the Google Earth view of it.
Try this:

If I remember right, it's just the cockpit section that's left. I saw it when my brother took my daughter and I there for family day last year.
