July 28, 201213 yr The BBJ has a system called "EVS" that is basically a FLIR through the HGS. Vin says this is actually possible and I imagine it might show up as an option if we do the BBJs. The only 777s with HGS at the moment are 777Fs though and I do not believe any have this system. Here's a some United ones in the 2-3 hour range: UAL808 KDEN-KORD http://flightaware.c...1440Z/KDEN/KORD UAL815 KORD-KDEN http://flightaware.c...2344Z/KORD/KDEN UAL828 KSFO-KORD http://flightaware.c...0615Z/KSFO/KORD UAL440 KDEN-KIAD http://flightaware.c...1600Z/KDEN/KIAD This might be the current shortest 777 route in the world at only 25 minutes! UAL220 PHOG-PHKO http://flightaware.c...0100Z/PHOG/PHKO ======= These are longer than 2hrs but not completely ridiculous for a simmer to do: UAL770 KSFO-KIAD http://flightaware.c...1504Z/KSFO/KIAD UAL771 KIAD-KSFO http://flightaware.c...2121Z/KIAD/KSFO UAL201 KSFO-PHNL http://flightaware.c...1730Z/KSFO/PHNL UAL775 KSFO-PHNL http://flightaware.c...1534Z/KSFO/PHNL UAL396 PHNL-KSFO http://flightaware.c...0645Z/PHNL/KSFO UAL724 PHNL-KSFO http://flightaware.c...2235Z/PHNL/KSFO These seem amazing to me. I would have (apparently erroneously) guessed the efficiency advantage for this huge of a bird would be found in longer cruises.

July 28, 201213 yr These seem amazing to me. I would have (apparently erroneously) guessed the efficiency advantage for this huge of a bird would be found in longer cruises. It is, obviously, considering the empty weight of the 777-200 is three times that of the 737-900. On a 3 hour flight, with 100 passengers, you'd probably use up the entire planned fuel for the 737-900 on just the takeoff and climb in the 777-200. Luke Harvest
July 28, 201213 yr Sounds like a fully functioning lavatory. Haven't seen one of those in FSX. If this is the case. I demand that PMDG add a skidmark on the bowl. Similar to how the engine blade colours are inaccurate the loo will be inaccurate without a pooey skidmark or an actual deuce in it.It must be black too and not grey. Brendan H
July 28, 201213 yr fully functioning lavatory :lol:. that wasn't simulated yet. Yesterday I was almost the whole day thinking what that could be? And theres another question if these things are simulated in the systems or on the airplane itself? - René Mosek - Future Owner Of: 'The PMDG 747-400 V3' B)
July 28, 201213 yr a "huge technology advance for simmers who wish to fly the 777" that hasn't been simulated in FSX... 1. The first word of the sentence is "huge" so it shouldn't be something extremely minor. 2. it needs a video to be presented, so its not something terribly obvious on the model or in the VC 3. taking Rob's words a bit too literally, but it seems its for flying the 777, not servicing, maintaining, etc..what 777-specific ops are there? 4. I'm no 777 expert but what 777-specific systems are there? The suspension is killing me!

July 29, 201213 yr Just watched a 777 video of Air Canada CYYZ to RJAA. When to FO was going over the systems, they had in the center display checklists and other things that seemed controlled by a cursor from the yoke. Does any FSX aircraft have this feature and could this be the cool super duper technological advance that has been teased? Brian Williams

July 29, 201213 yr The ECL? Yea the CS777 has those... And PMDG confirmed the electronic checklist as well. Alex Jevdic KORD/KHOT/KPWKA<380 love at first flight
July 29, 201213 yr Am I the only one praying for something today or tomorrow? :LMAO: Nope. But I dont think we will be getting anything for a while now... Cameron Lett
July 29, 201213 yr The 737 is keeping me occupied for the time being. Alex Jevdic KORD/KHOT/KPWKA<380 love at first flight
July 29, 201213 yr Nope. But I dont think we will be getting anything for a while now... Loving the positive but realistic attitude! :LMAO: - Luke Pabari
