freighter on a single engine climbout from EGCC Manchester

 

 

Hmmmmm... that just gave me an idea...  B)

Sorry mate I don't quite understand your post? No reason why PMDG couldn't accurately simulate TAC

 

 

Rob, I was referring to stuff like the "ATB" ("Asymmetric Thrust Bug") you had been mentioning.

 

PMDG can't get the marvels of TAC working if FSX doesn't simulate asymmetric thrust properly in the first place.

Is the registration in VC changable depending on which aircraft you are flying?

Ah ok, understand now. Jane said they have managed to fix this. it will be one of the first things I check. Also hoping to get some LVL-D time booked in the next few weeks.

Please don't try a no engine climbout Luke :lol: unless of course Rob wants to see its gliding capabilities.

 

 

Alan, I think that is a really good point. It is that paradox again of complexity making things simple. I won't be glib and say you can fly without some study as that is not true (especially with programming the FMC) but your workload will certainly be less than many other airliners.

 

Thanks - just to clarify, I'm not looking for a lite sim.  I'm all for deep systems, and there are many other benefits to a top-notch study sim, like the quality of the flight model and details like the TAC-assisted engine-out performance that you've been describing.  But I do like the idea of a deep simulation that gives you a helping hand - authentically - and reduces some of the switch-flipping.  My first foray into big multi-engine aircraft was the A2A/Accu-sim B-17, with its AI crew, and I avoided their 377 until the Captain of the Ship package came along and offered the same kind of assist.  The 777 seems to operate on the same principle, except that in this case it's the aircraft itself that's helping you out.  Good news.  Am revising my budgets to make room for this one.  

What about the flight performance, are they correct?
I mean if the FCOM say VR for 220T is 159Kt is the 777X actually rotate at 159Kt, and so on..

 

Same question for the climb and cruise(FF, thrust, AOA...)

 

Thanks

When I first heard of PMDG I bought their NGX right away. It didn't work for a while because it wouldn't ever let me type in the license key, the box just never came up.

 

Then I heard the 777 would come out, but I wasn't interested anyways.

 

But now after seeing this,

 

I am so excited for release and I will buy it as soon as I can.

 

PMDG has made this my second favorite real life aircraft, after the 757-200.

I wouldn't worry about it, if you can handle the B-17 and 377, the 777 will seem easy.  Everytime I hop in the MD-11 after flying some complex vintage airplane, the MD is so easy.  I think it is quite easy to land too.  I think the vintage airplanes really teach you to be precise so that translates well to the modern tubeliners.

Would someone please answer this? Would this work in a three monitor setup without that rotating cursor thingi robbing us off the fps unnecessarily.  Remember other aircraft of PMDG, there is a panel.cfg that fixes this issue via support.

 

Because there are no 2D panels, you should not have any issues with spinning circle. Wors case scenario is resizing the pop up for the EFIS, FMC, Etc.. If you have problems, I can help you out.

Hi,

 

Can you tell me if the flight control animations are smooth? I know some people like me experience "choppy" animations on the NGX.

 

Thank

Mee too!!! Pls answer this question. Thx iin advance. Especially the speedbrakes. Is it now smoother, the deployment?

wingview / speedbrake deployment smoothness and flap deployment

Random question, here at KMIA, we see a few South American 777's (TAM's 300ER and LAN Cargo's 777F), I have noticed something that they do that the North American 777's do not, asynchronous strobe lights. Meaning, the tail strobes flash first, and then the tail cone strobe flashes. None of the American 200ER's do this, and neither do the 300ER's I have seen elsewhere. Is this modeled as a customer option on the PMDG (or is is even a customer option in real life? If not why do they do it?) My best friend is an MD-11F F/O and he has noticed it at many South American airports as well, so I know it's not just my vision failing me. Any insight into this would be great appreciated. Thanks!

That's encouraging.  And it's good also to know that the 777 has automated systems that will keep me from fouling my spark plugs...  B)

Thanks a ton for all the pics and info!

 

I have a question though, if you have experience with the 737NGX, can some of it translate to the 777?(I know they are not type rated but maybe the at least share some features?)

 

Thanks!

Yes, a lot of the Boeing ideology is shared between the 737 and 777 - however I think if you're familiar with the MD11 you'll notice a lot more similarities.
