Project Boeing 747 Development Thread

Well, after some work I've improved things a bit.
However I still need to improve the animations of the ailerons that seem to break. I also need to improve the landing gear animations a bit more and fix some other bugs that I haven't taken into account yet. It just so happens that I haven't used Orbiter for pleasure flying yet, only for development and there are bugs that I still miss.

That's why I'm posting here another beta pre-release to test and find bugs. I'll do my best to fix them in my free time.

Regarding UACS support, the situation with the UACS license is still unclear, I don't know if it's MIT or GPLv3. In the latter case I won't be able to support UACS (or at least I think so).
 
Quick fixes:
  • Fixed ailerons (finally).
  • Fixed rudder.
  • Fixed Boeing 747-8 engine clbkSaveState.
  • Fixed engine sound (thanks @Moach).
I look forward to any bugs you find.
The final release will be coming soon. Although the cockpit (MFDs, etc.) is not finished, I would like to do it and improve it completely in a future 1.1 release.

Hi Matias, how are you doing?
I've been a bit away from development on my projects. I've been very busy with real-life work and I also plan to get back to the Orbiter projects and fix bugs, fix all the code (I'm not a good programmer, but I try).
Thanks for asking, and greetings from Argentina.
