How realistic is the B777 FMC with FLY!2K?

Featured Replies

Hi,At this stage I'm happy with my FLY!2K, without upgrading to FLY2.I'd like to get the B777, after already enjoying their B757 and 767.For the sake of realism in the cockpit, how functional is the FMC here?I'm aware that the FMC for the FLY!2 version is comparable to the one in PIC 767 and Dreamfleet's 737, both of which I own and love using.Is the FLY!2k version FMC the same as the Hawker SiddleY?, i.e. just the legs page? What about the Route, progress, initial reference, LNAV, VNAV,dep/arr pages,etc? Are they available?I'm not interested in a toy FMC, I want as many functions as possible?Your advice please.Eytan

Eytan-since i do not own the fly!2k version, however drooled over it for so long, and read the pages for so long, i believe that it is fairly complete. please, anyone correct me for the sake of acuracy, however i am under the impression that it has almost all the same functions as its fly!II counterpart. if you look at the PDMG website, you find info only on the 777 model, both fly! and fly!II. if i am wrong.....well you can beat me with a wet noodle! :-wink2 other wise, there you are!anthony miller

Anthony,I want to be sure about this. So if anyone already has the B777 running with FKY!2K, I'd like to hear from them about the functionality of the FMC.Eytan

The PMDG 777 for Fly!2K has a nearly fully functional FMC. LNAV, VNAV, holds, V-speeds for TO and landing and more. I think you won't be disappointed.- Dave ReedP.S. It can be spun, too! Not that I recommend it.

might have to try that spin sometimes!!!! *:-* hehe

Dave,How about programming your own flight plan, with wayoints, VORs,etc/ Or Sids and Stars? Do the waypoints appear on the Navigation Display gauge as the flight progresses?Eytan

The Fly!2K version does not read SIDs and STARs from text. WP's have to be individually established for one of those. It does the other stuff, though.- Dave Reed

Roger that. I'm getting the B777 for my birthday. My wife asked me what I'd like as a present, and well, last year it was the PMDG 757/767, so the trend continues...Eytan
