Do you want the 777-200/ER?

Surely this is going to appear soon PMDG? P3Dv4 is out the way - is it not time to finally finish the 777 series?

Thanks,

I know they're also working on the 747-8, so not really sure how they're approaching this. Also, I'm not sure if it was confirmed that they had data for the engine performance and what not. Need to have that before they can do much.

Any chance this could feature once the 747-8 is released?

Honestly the 200/ER-300 series would be the best option for them, they have all the resources and the audience for it. Just a matter of development time. I have a fund in my annual budget for PMDG so, I'll wait!

I do hope so Gabriel!

I sincerely hope PMDG would make the original 777-200.

 

The airplane which completed the first flight will be retired in the middle of 2018 and returned to Boeing.

 

I am not sure how many original 777-200 (not the 200ER) are still around, I would anssume the aren’t that many of them still flying.

It looks like 15 out of the first 20 manufactured are still active!

Good to know, thx for the link.

But it is not for long, 5 Cathay ones will be leaving the fleet (most likely will be scrapped except LN1 which is B-HNL) in 2018.

I'm hoping that they do V2 of the 777 sometime down the line, fully 64bit and incorporating all the current versions/engine variants

I would guess that PMDG  would model the 777-200ER, of which there are many still flying.

They’ll share it with us when they have any information.

I’m somewhat hoping for a v3 of the NGX, she needs an overhaul! I wouldn’t think there would be a v2 of the 777 until something happens that mandates it, new eye candy wouldn’t be a good enough reason imo.

Those airframes haven’t even been built yet, so I wouldn’t hold your breath,
