It's true. That 747-200 is missing the landing gear Confused

Here's a real world picture of a 747-200:

Thanks a lot Captain Agus Thumbs Up!

Yes i think too that the gear is missing.
Maybe an update (without gears) version of B-747 Very Happy

You're welcome! Wink

Microsoft should really do something about this. Well, maybe the aircraft wasn't finished Dont Know

Shadow? I don't see that shadow... Confused

I don't think it's a screenshot problem, though. The landing gear is part of the aircraft model, not the textures. If it was a texture problem, the gear would show up but all grey.

Im talking about this

I agree that gears are a part of the craft and not of the textures but i have face up with this sometimes with some add-on crafts.Im sure that MS should know better... Wink

Oh, that's not a shadow. It's the VHF antenna of the aircraft. Wink

Hehe, thanks Greekman. Wink

Here's a link for you that shows that little thing called VHF (very high frequency) antenna: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/AWA1/401-500/walk413_B747-400_Lutz_Gretschel/walk413.htm
I knew that that little thing was the VHF antenna before looking at this website Cool

This is for the 747-400, but I'm sure it would be the same for the 747-200. Look at the bottom of the page and you'll find the pictures.

Also check out this real world picture of a 747-200 and you'll again see the VHF antenna. http://photos.airliners.net/photos/photos/9/3/1/0865139.jpg

As you can see, there's two little antennas. One is the UHF (ultra high frequency) and the VHF.
