The pitch problem was one well known issue, which was fixed. Should have been picked up in beta though. There have been other comments made, for example flap dynamics and ground effect modelling. It's all a compromise though. Make one thing perfect and that can put a lot of other things out. Steady state performance is not in question though. It flies by the numbers very well. That's the main thing.

 

Back on topic, from initial reactions of 777 beta testers it sounds as if they've really hit the spot with the flight model. Which is great news.

Got you, thanks for responding.

Concerning the Flight Envelope Protections:

As far as I know, the flight envelope protections in the 777 prevent the aircraft from gaining dangerous attitudes by very strong force feedback on the yoke, and in some cases I think the pilots command is even reduced (overspeed protection).
But as many of us flight simmers don't use yokes with force feedback (I don't know if there even is one to buy on the market), how do we get to feel the protections?

I can imagine, that this is very hard to implement and still have a realistic behavior of the plane.

 

Last but not least, there are two very special features of the 777's fly by wire system, of which I would like to know, if they are implemented:

-Overspeed Protection during upside-down flight (funny but according to the Aircraft Manual there is such a thing)

and

-Wheel to Rudder Cross Tie Function, which allows a correction of the track (for example during take-off run) by only using the yoke, not the rudder pedals, up to 8°

Thanks in advance for your answers.

 lack of any response to FSX weather or turbulence etc are some of the big ones)

sorry, any not: , turbulence yes, weather not:

 

The effects of the weather on the aircraft are:

+ Wind

+ Temperature

+ QNH

+ Icing levels

+ Rain levels

ok guys. I will buy the 777 for sure, but regarding flight dynamics, the Q400 is at least at the same level.

Im a real Q400 pilot and this simulation is perfect. It is bang on the dot and it feels exactly the same as the real thing! Majestic have done a fantastic job and i think, some airlines will even use this as a simulator for training pilots. cyberpilot you don't need to worry because its exactly the same thing as the really Q400, just fly at the right speeds Happy flying

I'm pretty sure the Q400 doesn't react to wind - Majestic make her slew in a way that creates the illusion of wind effects for the user. (Rather similar to a wx radar that makes you believe it displays actual wx radar returns - the returns are fictional, based on the wx theme the A/C is flying in.)

pretty sure when I flew the 777 level d sim we did a V1 cut and the aircraft automatically applied rudder to compensate for the loss of thrust on one side, not fully you still had to apply opposite rudder but not much (dead leg dead donkey)

 

Is this modelled?

Kyle, I bet he was referring to the not-100%-complete compensation which would leave some tactile clue for the pilot to realize which engine is affected.
