Is there anywhere I can find a flight dynamics upgrade to the default 777 in FS9? I have the wonderful default 747 flight dynamics upgrade available here on avsim but cannot find one for the beautiful triple 7.Thanks!

I don't think there is any, as far as I know. It is sad that an aircraft such as the 777 doesn't get the attention of freeware/payware developers, especially in the flight dynamics area. I'm still hoping that Project Opensky will do a Triple-7, even through they say they won't. I'm just stubborn that way :)

Hi,In the Avsim library...Filename: rd777fs9.zipAuthor: Touradg MorassaeiFile Description:This is an upgrade for 777-300 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 A Century of flight. This Upgrade provided according to the Boeing information about 777 and is very close to real dynamics of 777. Now like a real 777, it is hard to land this giant and you need to be more careful. Features include: Realistic Flight Dynamic (Try to land the aircraft with cross wind!!), Corrected Lights Position, Corrected Contact Points, Corrected Max Gross Weight, Corrected Autopilot Function, Corrected Flap-Up Stall Speed, Corrected Full Flap Stall Speed, Better Control When You Use Joystick.Cheers,Jim

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!I thought I searched here and flightsim.com but I guess I didn't do it right... thanks again!!

Hi Alex,You're very welcome, enjoy. :)Jim

Alex, I tried to find the default 747 upgrade you refered to in your post but could not find it. Do you have a file name I can look under?Thanks, Terry

Hello Terry,How about trying the following file. The flight model files are intended to be used by copying files over from the default 747-400. If you wanted to I'm sure you could just pick one of the flight models and install it into the default 'b747_400' rather than use hthe author's installation method of copying files over, assuming you know how to do it. If you use his installation instructions, as a finale he says you can delete your default 'b747_400' folder if you want to. I recommend that you do not that, because who knows what you might install at some point that expects to be able to 'alias' to the default 'b747_400' sound or panel folder. For instance, a few MyTraffic2004 aircraft alias to a few of the default FS2004 aircraft panels and sounds and outright uses a couple of default FS2004 aircraft as AI planes. I believe this is the same author that made updated FS2004 flight dynamics for the Project Mach 2 Concorde.Filename: fd744ae.zipAuthor: Pedro OliveiraFile Description:Flight Dynamics for Boeing 747-400 and 747-400ER with GE-CF6 and PW4062 engines (v7.2), including a more accurate LOC interception while on VOR or ILS tracking.Hope that helps,Jim

Jim,Thanks and I will give this one a try.fd744ae.zipI did notice the 777 now goes over gross weight if the tanks are filled and it seems like the pass/cargo is very limited. Of course I did not save the original settings so I will have to go to the cd and try to reload them.Terry

Hi Terry,I don't have a cut and dry solution for you, although it seems you have already come up with one. Get original 777 FD's off the CD. Personally I think I'd rather have more realistic flight dynamics. At least as long as I can carry around 66% of fuel capacity without going overweight. I want to let you know a few of things.1) It is very possible that Pedro Oliveira found that in order to get the 777 to behave as close to real-world 777 as he could that he had to make a compromise in the area of weight settings(compromising a full fuel load).2) I have a couple of payware aircraft that have this same problem, as well as some freeware aircraft.3) Sometimes I just ignore the 'over gross weight' and take-off overweight. Depends on how long the runway is at the airport I'm at and/or how long of a flight I plan on making. ;)Regards,Jim
