777 first beta impressions

Featured Replies

Beta Testers,

 

First off, thank you very much for the continuous stream of information, screen shots and videos.

 

On the 737 NG, the EGPWS Terrain display on the ND is updated via a left <--> right sweep, similar to a radar sweep.  This can be seen in action in the link below:

This left <--> right sweep has not been modeled in the PMDG NGX.  Does the real 777 have a similar EGPWS Terrain display system?  If yes, is the display sweep specifically modeled?

 

Thanks!

I have the same questions about those sounds. I've heard it on a few flights on DAL 777LR's during takeoff and landing. Can anyone say what it is and if its simulated?

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is it the Air driven Demand Hydraulic Pumps and will it be simulated?

I'm not on the beta team but i think Luke did a couple flights on Vatsim.

 

I did LHR-LAX on Vatsim at the weekend. However running into a few problems with SquawkBox and FSX - so waiting to get sorted before I'm back on.

Not an issue knowing how to use it - more it's causing an FPS issue in full screen. Mouse isn't disappearing in full screen which I believe it due to the little Squawk Ident box causing some kind of overlay over FSX. Disconnect and everything goes back to being perfect.

 

Don't mean to highjack Jane's thread - but if anyone knows any fixes please let me know!

Well the point of my post was...

 

While fully knowing both Squawkbox and FSInn work with FSX, I thought the overwhelming majority of people used FSInn...

I'll check FSInn out after this flight.

...and I'm partial to having RTA implemented, but it doesn't see much use Stateside (yet), so it's not like people will miss it.

 

For everyones information: RTA is used on just about very RW arrival here in Perth. ATC mostly gives a STAR clearance along with: "cross BEVLY at time XX or earlier/later"

FSInn is just a way better vatsim client.

Can someone tell me something about the landing behavior of this awesome bird? The wings look very huge (big uplift) so i think that the touchdown is usually very smooth, which is cool! 

Dear Beta Testers: Do you love landing this aircraft? I bet its awesome.
