Building the -200 would take many months because the entire cockpit would have to be redone from scratch. I don't see this as a viable option, it's too much work. If we were to invest this much time we're already half way to a brand new aircraft.
The 747-8 has entirely new wings and engines, this also would take months, though a bit less than the cockpit. It can be done but it's still a lot of work.
Something that would be much easier actually is a 747-400F.
You haveYes, I would like a 747-8 but you are right in what you say.
It is better that if they add it, it is calm and that they take their time as they have done with other aircraft.
What I would like more important is that they update the Boeing 747-400 which is already in the simulator
The 747-400 that's in the simulator as far as I know hasn't been touched since it was released for the first versions of Aerofly.
The red belly beacon light is misplaced, the tilt of the wing landing gear has more inclination on the real plane and retracting it will retract it at high speed, Updating the sounds of the plane as they did with the a350 and other aircraft, more liveries and as you say a cargo version would not be bad at all.
