Final system check? ^^ ryan ? 

 

I dun know why flying in dawn looks the best! 

I am tempted to ask if this is the delivery flight, but I will restrain myself :smile:

Test flight this on vatsim ? The controller will be ##### "PG777" 

 

 

Ryan,

Lovely pics, thank you.

"The eagle has landed".

 

Beautiful shots!

In order to trully test this 777, get some Weather Engine to inject a 60knots in a 180 direction from what was previously, like FSX loves to do! That will make VNAV go nuts, but it should be able to deal with it, since it will happen many time to the people flying it in the future!

Boy, that's why these weather addons have an option for DWC (Direct Wind Control) - and you would not test the VNAV that way but "just" the A/T!

 

I'm pretty sure after testing adherence to speed/altitude constraints and VNAV PATH calculations there will be more ongoing tests on the 777 systems ...

I've been an OpusFSX user for some time, and those guys have convinced me that truly realistic weather in FSX is only possible without Static Data Injection. I Would not accept anymore not being able to see the bad weather 100 miles from my position, like only the Dynamic weather can do for you. Of course, when it's not well done, will introduce wind shift into your FSX. Opus have being tweaking this for ages, it's really good now.

 

Yeah. VNAV maybe won't have much to do with it, but nevertheless, the plane ifself should be able to deal with it. People will leave the 777 flying over the ocean for 8 hours, and a single wind shift could make things go sour when they're not looking at the computer screen.

 

I'm sure PMDG will test this, they've being doing this for a long time. Love the Shots!

There's no superior mode for weather addons; pros and cons for each mode must be considered and decided upon.

 

And a 2x 60 kts = 120 kts wind shift cannot be handled by any RW aircraft at CRZ ALT as the over-/stall speed margin is just so small. ("coffin corner")

 

I would love to get proved wrong, though ...

I know, but FSX isn't reality, and it happens a lot! That's why I never fly with crash enabled.  Sometimes there's even a tree on short final that shouldn't have been there that could ruin your entire flight!!

 

Each choose what they think is most realistic for weather, sure. For me OpusFSX is the best option, even if wind shift might occur due to faulty FSX Code.

Using opus here too very good 

Nice shots Ryan, thanks for posting.

See that this  is becoming  a opus  thread  again,  if  you want  to plug  opus open you own thread

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!!! Stop showing us leg!!! :lol:

With crash detection set to 'off' you'll still fall out of the sky with a 120 kts wind shift ... yeah, nice shots, Ryan!   B)
