: High-fidelity add-ons, such as those from PMDG for Microsoft Flight Simulator or Prepar3D , offer "study-level" simulations. These programs replicate every switch, circuit breaker, and hydraulic system of the 747, requiring users to study real-world pilot manuals to even start the engines.
: The 747 was built for long-haul travel. Simulation allows "armchair pilots" to recreate famous 12-hour routes from London to Tokyo or New York to Hong Kong in real-time. Conclusion
: With many airlines retiring the 747 in favor of more fuel-efficient twin-engine jets, simulators are becoming the primary way for the public to experience the cockpit of this icon.
