August 12, 201312 yr At this point, I guess they're either just winging it, or using something like simbrief for the fuel consumption figures. In terms of calculating the speeds, the NGX can calculate those by itself, so I imagine the 777 will do no less. Name available upon request
August 12, 201312 yr Very nice read and very excited! I will be failing both engines just to get the RAT out Already tried it - APU comes on too! Unfortunately we ended up in a German field. - Luke Pabari

August 12, 201312 yr Already tried it - APU comes on too! Unfortunately we ended up in a German field. :LMAO: Anyway, brilliant! Can't wait to see the electronic checklist in action! With kind regards, Bogdan Misko.
August 12, 201312 yr Commercial Member Why is the aircraft side-slipping in the last shot? Are you able to disengage a single AT channel, and does only one throttle move after that has been done? Great post! Nice to see the aircraft in daylight for a change, too! Best regards, Robin.
August 12, 201312 yr as I was busier than an organist in the midst of the Tocata and Fuge in D Minor. Always preferred G Minor (Sarcasm :biggrin: Thanks for the great post! ) -Phil Kretschmer
August 13, 201312 yr Already tried it - APU comes on too! Unfortunately we ended up in a German field. how did you actually end up? haha I am excited to see the mess :ph34r: Moe ELkarout
August 13, 201312 yr PMDG 777+Fs2Crew+GSX= AMAZING !!!!!! And I'll add PFPX to that Aurelien Vandoorine
August 13, 201312 yr NIce post! Why is your throttle of the shutdown engine not in idle? Willem Pitch plus power equals performance.
August 13, 201312 yr 06:07 PM I wonder if those N1 figures are consistent. I'd expect them a bit higher ( by windmill ) ? You were low ( 2500' in the 1st shot ) and at 180 KIAS... Sorry for insisting, but the N1 (windmill) values all accross the various shots, seem low to me (?)

August 13, 201312 yr If I may ask, why? I don't have any experience with the GE90, but if you fly a CFM56 at 4000ft at 180kts, you should get about 10-15 N1. I think you'd get quite a bit less with the GE90, since it's a lot heavier to keep those big engines turning. Name available upon request
August 13, 201312 yr Commercial Member Mass is not everything. You forget the aerodynamics involved in windmilling in the first place. Big engine (and thus larger mass), but also a bigger fan, and (much!) larger area exposed to the airflow. It's all relative. In fact, a doubling of diameter results in quadrupling the area (square term). Best regards, Robin.
August 13, 201312 yr I think we should really be seeing higher N1 figures ... But then again, I'm a glider pilot only :wacko: It's 180 knots @ 2500' only - high density alt., etc...

August 13, 201312 yr Hello Carl, Nice to read a post which makes sense and gives valuable info. As an aside, I see you are located in Tampa and wondered what the fascination for EGSS was. Regards, Richard Welsh. Richard Welsh
