Thanks a lot Captain Agus 
Yes i think too that the gear is missing.
Maybe an update (without gears) version of B-747   |

You're welcome!
Microsoft should really do something about this. Well, maybe the aircraft wasn't finished  |

I think its a screenshots problem and not crafts one. I can see a black-grey shadow there that we supposed to have the gear...So probably the screenshoot was taken when they change the angle view and the graphics dont have the time to load...Just a suppose of me... |

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

I'm 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... |

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

I'm sure it isn't. It looks to me as a 744. 742's have shorter first class areas, i.e. less windows Click below to support FSF:

That's my thinking precisely. But then again... it could be the 748 |

I guess you guys are right... After taking another look at the FSX 747 picture and comparing it with 747-400 and -200 of Airliners.net that aircraft looks like a 747-400. Its engines confused me 
I know that the first class area is bigger in the 744 and shorter in the 742. Well, we all make mistakes...I'm sorry if I confused you. I know more about Airbus than Boeing. |

No need to hang your head in shame Agus, the picture in question has been taken at a strange angle for our viewing pleasure I guess.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was some kind of image created in PS purely for promotional reasons, hence the missing nose gear. |
