Yes, I never said it was the ICAO designator. I am more than aware that 772 is the ICAO designator.

 

My source for 77E = 777-200ER was this.

He's right, the 772ER is commonly referred to as the 77E, the 773ER is referred to as the 77W, the vanilla 773 is the 773, the 772F is the 77F and the 772LR is the 772L.

Okay, I only use the ICAO designators for my aircraft.

Shucks. I was hoping you were going to surprise us with concurrent release of the 747

 

They're PMDG, not miracle workers! :lol:

They're PMDG, not miracle workers! :lol:

 

Same difference

He's right, the 772ER is commonly referred to as the 77E, the 773ER is referred to as the 77W, the vanilla 773 is the 773, the 772F is the 77F and the 772LR is the 772L.

Those aren't correct as far as ICAO for ATC and stuff:

 

777-200, 777-200ER both = B772

777-200LR, 777F both = B77L

777-300 = B773

777-300ER = B77W

we're still working on the product previous to this one lol.

That gave me a chuckle lol :lol:

I hate the term B77E lol

Those aren't correct as far as ICAO for ATC and stuff:

 

777-200, 777-200ER both = B772

777-200LR, 777F both = B77L

777-300 = B773

777-300ER = B77W

They are correct in terms of IATA equipment codes, which are all three-character designators. But yes, not so useful for ATC, mostly used in airline systems.

 

 

9/10th Nov 2005: New world record for distance traveled non-stop; HKG-LHR eastbound for 21.601 km in 22h42m.

 

Any takers here want to try it? 777-200LR I guess?

 

Best regards,

A question: Is the new PMDG B747-400 V2.0 getting a new exterior model and VC?

 

I think a new VC will be done for 100% and the exterior? Made some quotes which are confusing me.

 

Anyway, thanks in advance for clearing up.  :smile:

 

 

From: PMDG Announces B777 Progress and B747-400 Version 2.0!

 

 

 

The all new 747-400 package is known as V2.0 and it is based upon the same technology engine currently driving the NGX and the B777.

The airframe will remain the venerable PMDG 747-400 that sim enthusiasts around the world know and love.

From the 06MAY13 preview:

 

Tonight we get you up close and personal with the exterior detail of the PMDG777-200LR.  This is by far the most detailed model we have yet created...

 

(well- excepting the PMDG 747-400 v2.0 exterior model- but we aren't previewing that tonight... <cough>)

It's going to be a completely new product... Enough said?
