External APU sounds

Will it be ever featured for 777X?

Each turbulence we pass on, move on to the next waypoint and have a successful landing in life.

Its featured in the RW aircraft, so why wouldn't it be in the FS version!?!

No. The 77L is going to have the default Cessna flight deck with the default Trike soundset and the Bell helicopter flight model..

If it comes with the default FSX fuel pump noise too, I'll pay double.

I'm thinking like a Hamster running in a wheel.

Seriously though, it would be a great added feature to have a realistic APU sound as we are often viewing the aircraft from the outside as its being serviced.

yes. It would be great to have features that PMDG has already implemented in past products.

 

I hope they give us an FMS too, The default FSX GPS isn't very good.

I don't think Boeing aircraft have APU's - they're generally useless. Most airlines are doing what RyanAir do and that's sticking a passenger to the outside of the fuselage with a magical GPU cable to plug in when needed. (Heard you can fly cheap by doing it!)

Don't forget the air starter car if the APU is completely inop lol (they can be used to power the packs if its a scorcher of a day).

When I used to be a ramper our jets rarely used the APU on arrival so we would marshal them in, chock the nose gear, and then plug the GPU so they could shut down engine 2 (RJ's). If the GPU was inop and it is a long turn then they would shut everything down to cold and dark, we were strict on fuel savings. Our mainline brethren on the other hand ran their APU's like it doesn't cost anything even on those 777's that sit at the gate for their entire 2-3 hour turn although Qatar shuts down the APU during their turn at our terminal.

youre right bus man! But airlines have a 180 degrees diffrent SOPs,because of low fuel cost in iran(so far!),iran air preffers apu more than gpu

Fuel here is expensive, a full tank for my car costs $50-60 USD so I can see why some airlines are doing what they can do save every drop.
