October 12, 201213 yr With Christmas not so far right now - well, I've got to be positive... - I believe I already filled my checklist for Santa, and it includes the 777. I would really like to read from you, already lucky 777 users, regarding your experiences, specially when it comes to long-haule flights, using RW weather. Tell me, is it really as good as it looks, system's wise, fm-wise, interface-wise, when programming and then flying an intercontinental flight, and then flying it in X-Plane10. I do not own X-Plane9. Looking forward for your posts ;-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
October 12, 201213 yr It is indeed a good plane. Longest flight for me has been around four hours. I have been flying using real weather, and it's been working just fine. I had one issue regarding weather, though. I was flying between engm and essa and the weather was apparently so bad that the aircraft had a catastrophic failure. I heared the passengers scream, and then I was back on the ground. I really don't think the weather was THAT bad. One other annoying thing for me has been lnav hunting back and forth before it settles on course. The latest patch has only made this slightly better. Other than that, I think it's an awesome aircraft. Skickat från min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk 2 Richard 7950x3d | 32Gb 6000mHz RAM | 8Tb NVme | RTX 4090 | MSFS | P3D | XP12
October 12, 201213 yr Author Hmm, Lnav problems... Hope they fix it before Christmas!

October 12, 201213 yr Hmm, Lnav problems... Hope they fix it before Christmas! Thx for the reply Richard ;-) Well, I'm starting to suspect there's something wrong with my xpx. I took my crj200 for a spin yesterday and the pitch oscillation was just ridiculous. Either that or the 1.5 patch broke something else.

October 12, 201213 yr Author :-/ Hope you can fix it...

October 12, 201213 yr Here's my 2 cents! The 777 is a magnificent addon and worth every penny. She is a beast, however, and the learning curve won't be short. The pplane perfroms amazingly well. To me it feels a tad too heavy - It may need a little bit of tweaking to allow it to be a little more nimble but this may be a matter of taste. I fly on 777s as a passenger about twice per month and even though she is a beast in size, she moves and turns quicker than I perceive in XPX. Other than that, put a copy of the manual in the bathroom, in your desk, and elsewhere cause you're gonna have some reading to do my friend. We asked for realistic, these guys gave us realistic!!! Regarding the CRJ pitch oscillations........I've noticed them too, especially when the A/P is engaged. I also suspect an issue with 1.5. We'll see. Nevertheless, the CRJ is another magnificent addon.

October 12, 201213 yr Hi, Go for the 777 is an awsome product! I only hope that the developers get rid of the too much tinted windows that renders the outside world opaque (at least for my taste and others reporting this). About the CRJ-200 pitch oscillation in XP10 in the v1.50 update there is a mod introduced that fixes this, me and other user in other forum worked out about this issue and the developers decided to include that fix in a separate acf file. Cheers, Alexander Colka
October 12, 201213 yr I've got the T7 myself. For me, the acid test of seeing how well this plane (or any plane) hangs together is to test the hydraulics. So position yourself on the ground and switch on each hydraulic system one at a time. Observe which flying surfaces can be operated and which can't. Each hydaulic circuit operates on it's own set of consumers. E.g. Having the left circuit switched on means that only one set of ailerons can be operated. Likewise with the rudder, elevators and nosewheel steering. Switch off the hydraulics and watch your ailerons sag under their own weight. Wiggle the yoke and observe the hydraulic pressure being depleted. Switch off the appropriate electical bus, and watch the appropriate hydraulic pumps switch off. Trust me when I say that these guys have considered more details than you could think about! ---------------------------------- The only disappointment I have with this aircraft is the TCAS system. I'm afraid it's the bog standard X-Plane "Buup Beep - TCAS Alert!". There's no "Traffic Traffic", "Climb, Climb Now!", "Clear of conflict" etc...
