26JUL12 - PMDG 777 for FSX: Let the previews begin!

Featured Replies

Ok... I guess it's not telling them how to model planes, it's just telling them they picked the wrong colors. After looking at thousands of photos and the actual plane.

 

Not wrong colors, but as someone who is familiar with 3d modelling and texture work within FSX, you have to adapt what you see in real life to make it look "right" in the sim. Jason and the team will certainly agree with this statement, because after all FSX is 6 years old and the lighting engine is, well, to put it nicely, bad.

We can agree on this! :Applause: I bet it's not easy to make it look right.

 

Sadly it looks like we will never get a new sim from MS.. Well that's a whole other topic that has been beat to death.

Interior only matters to me. June was just not a correct estimation, I suspect. Looking forward to your usual quality.

Poor NGX... its only going to get so little use once this comes out! Looking fantastic, as your previews always do.

 

I don't think so you don't always want to load up that beast for short hops ;o)

Speaking of short hops, are there any real world flights of around 2 hours that are flown in the T7?

I believe AirCanada has regular flights from Toronto to Vancouver. But the beauty of flight sim is we can do any type of flight we want. Infact, my first flight will be from Vancouver to Calgary after a few (get to know you circuits) around Abbotsford.

Thanks!

Yes there's a couple. Air Canada YYZ-YUL comes to mind. There's also some in the states but sone might be over 2 hours. DFW-ORD etc. Asia has lots of short T7 flights. Especially Japan.

She's looking great Jason!! Hope your getting a little time to enjoy the nice weather were getting... Finally!

 

Thanks for the update Robert. This bird will certainly have its own parking spot on my HD.

 

Ugh its terribly warm in the house right now, yes it is nice outside but not when I'm working away on the 777 getting it ready for delivery to you guys... I kind of feel like I'm in a sweat shop right now :-P

 

Looking forward to when its in your hands ;-)

 

And enjoy the summer-like weather while it lasts, I hear we're in for some rain this weekend (we will see)...

 

Cheers,

Japan is well known for using wide bodies on short hops, they need the seating density that no RJ can hope to provide.

The guys above listed most. It's an extremely fuel efficient aircraft! Emirates do a lot of gulf flights. Down to Saudi, India isn't far either. BA sometimes (rarely) operate the 772 to GLA & EDI when there's a spare one if an A320 or 737 goes tech. Or if they need to get a significant number of pax back due to delays they'll send one! But it's FSX so you can use it for Heathrow - Manchester if you want ha :P
