777 landing gear detail

Ever seen landing gear with this level of detail before? Even the brake status lights work!http://www.xpjets.com/2009/11/08/i-brought...res-you-wanted/

Beautiful! Now if the avionics/systems can have this quality of accuracy and detail it will be amazing.

Wow! Talk about overkill!No doubt the detail is incredible and impressive to see, but those efforts/resources could be much better spent on other parts of the 3d model, I'm thinking about cockpit and/or perfecting even more the final rendition of the external 3d model (lighting effects, etc.)Marco

True enough.. but every product needs its "first" to claim. I dunno but I've never heard of this on any other product.

My sentiments exactly. I keep up with their development since they appear to have a great deal of talent, but I would rather them exhaust effort on cockpit functionality than nose gear brake indicators. Are they still even developing their 757? I hope so! They preview a 757...., now a Cessna...., now a new 777 with fancy wheels and struts....,now an A320.... Too many eggs in one basket! A preview is not a product! I wish they would finish one of them before starting something else and posting pictures! :( Scott

My thoughts too. The model looks very well done, but how much time are you going to spend in the sim oogling at the landing gear struts lol?
