Fix: the 747 upper-deck hump now has the right shape

A lower, wider hump with a long slope back into the roof, like the real jet.

The upper-deck hump on the 747-400 was too tall and too narrow, so it looked like a tower on the roof. It is now lower and wider, with a long shallow slope back into the roof, which is how the real jet is shaped.

What changed

The hump now stands about a third lower above the roof of the main fuselage and is slightly wider in proportion. It rises just behind the nose, stays at full height over the flight deck and the front of the upper deck, then fairs back gradually into the roof. The flight deck glazing and the upper-deck windows follow the new shape.

What did not change

  • Only the look of the 747-400 changed. Its size, weight and handling are the same.
  • Flying with no input still ends in a crash, and the autopilot still lands in every weather preset.

747-400 嘅上層艙隆起部分之前太高又太窄，望落好似機頂企咗座塔。而家改成較低較闊，後面有一段長而平緩嘅斜坡接返落機頂，同真正 747 嘅形狀更加似。

改咗啲乜

隆起部分喺主機身頂部之上低咗大約三分一，按比例亦闊咗少少。佢喺機鼻後面開始升起，喺駕駛艙同上層艙前段保持最高，然後逐漸向後收返入機頂。駕駛艙玻璃同上層艙窗都跟住新形狀。

修改前：隆起部分太高，而且突然結束。

冇改嘅嘢

  • 只係 747-400 嘅外形變咗，大小、重量同操控都冇變。
  • 完全唔操作仍然會墜毀，自動駕駛仍然可以喺所有天氣設定下降落。
