The Ultimate PSS 777 FDE Tweak

Featured Replies

On 777-200ER change fuel flow to 1.15 not 1.5. I use 1.15. Burns just slightly less fuel than actual. It's better to burn a bit less fuel than too much that's my theory. But try 1.18 (I haven't tried it) and tell me if it goes fine. Otherwise go to 1.15. Or between 1.15-1.18.I haven't tested any other fuel flow scalar, only used 1.15. 777-200ER fuel flow scalar.Hope it helps.

  • Hi Nandan,The original .air files from PSS are designed for Boeing 777-300ER and 777-200LR.If you use, for example, PSS 777-200LR .air file for Boeing 777-200ER aircraft by modifying the static_thrust

  • Could anyone be willing to share this fde tweak please. The link has been down.

Thanks Nandan. I will try it and let you know :)Hopefully will get the figures soon for 77L and 77W! :)

@Alex:I'm really sorry, I am out of town until next week and the file is in my home PC. Maybe some other guys here can post it in the forum. If I'm not mistaken it's just a small text file, so you'll just have to copy and paste the content.
NP, I've got the plane up and running thanks to some help from the others. It works great now. Thank you sir.Alex

The 1.15 fuel flow scalar seems to work just fine on the B77L.Tested this on a flight from EGLL-YSSY about 9190nm (+ head wind and tail wind components).Total fuel consumption was 329,441lbs with a ZFW = 420,000lbs (317 pax and 37000lbs cargo).I'll try the B77W on a 7500nm route later on in the week and see what figure works best though 1.15 seems fine so far.:)

77-200ER with trent 895: Fuel Flow update:Change this section in the aircraft.cfg[GeneralEngineData]//0=Piston, 1=Jet, 2=None, 3=Helo-Turbine, 4=Rocket, 5=Turbopropengine_type = 1fuel_flow_scalar = 1.21min_throttle_limit = -0.51engine.0 = 10.0, -32.583, -10.500engine.1 = 10.0, 32.583, -10.500or just change this line "fuel_flow_scalar = 1.21" :<-------- From 1.15 TO 1.21Fuel flow is now perfect except for weights above 260,000kg.300,000kgFuel flow real world (Sim) kg per hour/per engineFL310 - 4432 (4000)280.000kgFL310 - 4118 (3700)FL330 - 4150 (3900)260,000kgFL330 - 3811 (3700)Those are the fuel flows at optimum cruse ALT. Below 260,000kg/FL350 and above fuel flows are perfect. Ill keep working on it and post back with any further changesx 2.2 to get kgs to lbs

What is your minimum unstick speed on the -300 at MTOW+Flap 15? I'm getting something like 200kts before the wheels lift off.Edit:Same thing is happening with the -200s at MTOW.

Im sorry Im not sure what you mean by "upstick"???. We dont have 300ER's, they are coming in November, Im bout to start the type rating for the 300ER so if you can confirm what you mean by "upstick" ill let you know.In the real aircraft we have a EFB to calculate all our T/O data so its abit hard to compare to FS.Look forward to helping youJack

Vmu Minimum Unstick Speed. Minimum airspeed at which airplane can safely lift off ground and continue take-off. The problem is that the PSS FMC won't give you accurate speeds if modified the flight dynamics.

I've just got home today. Here is the contents of my "AP_control_coeffs.dat" file:

RollOnAilACC=3.4RollOnAilDECEL=3.4RollOnAilINPUTSTEP=2800RollOnAilMININPUT=1000RollOnAilMAXINPUT=31000PitchOnElevatorACC=1.3PitchOnElevatorDECEL=2.3PitchOnElevatorINPUTSTEP=50PitchOnElevatorMININPUT=-12384PitchOnElevatorMAXINPUT=14384VSonPitchACC=400VSonPitchDECEL=1000VSonPitchINPUTSTEP=0.9VSonPitchMININPUT=-15VSonPitchMAXINPUT=30SpeedOnElevatorMaxAcc=2SpeedOnElevatorDecArea=20

But, if you feel comfortable with your existing values, just leave it as it is...Best Regards.

Jack, you said the fuel flow above 260,000kg's isn't good. Does anyone know how to fix it? Twasno, do you know how to fix the fuel flow? What table is it for fuel flow with using whatever program you used to fix it. Can you please tell us.Just tell us the program you used to edit air file and what table/graph or section you modified. And can you tell us if you could modify the section with aired.Thx

Has anyone made any further progress into the best fuel flow scalar settings?Also, are there any recommendations for fuel planners for the new versions? What about calculating V-speeds (since the panel is only configured for 200LR and 300ER?)thanks

What section controls the point of view in the VC. Whenever I apply the code here it ends up throwing me outside in front of the VC????Clutch

Hello.I tried the merge that was linked here last Sunday on a trip from ENGM-OMDB with Boeing 777-300ER. Was close to the max ZFW. But when I connect the VNAV, LNAV, and finally the autopilot the aircraft started a tremendous increase of climp with 7000ft per minute! Is there any chance to improve and get the part? No B773ER with almost max ZFW and fuel closer to 7 hours and can climb with 7000ft a minute.

Hi Steinar,Please check your "AP_control_coeffs.dat" file in "FS9\PSS\Boeing777" folder.Make sure the contents is similar to my previous post (#69) above.Best Regards.

This is a really good fuel flow scalar for the 777-200ER:[GeneralEngineData]//0=Piston, 1=Jet, 2=None, 3=Helo-Turbine, 4=Rocket, 5=Turbopropengine_type = 1fuel_flow_scalar = 1.28min_throttle_limit = -0.51engine.0 = 10.0, -32.583, -10.500engine.1 = 10.0, 32.583, -10.500Make sure you change "fuel_flow_scalar" > 1.28. Apparently it works really well. Do try it and tell us how it goes!
