Is It a Must To Have PMDG737 Before Buying 777 ?

Featured Replies

Hi, 

I heard from someone that, I need PMDG 737 legal copy to buy 777 Base Pack.

Is this true?

 

If true what happens If I don't like flying 737 ?

Thanks.

No sir! 777 will be its own product! Whoever told you that is mistaken.

 

Best regards,

Robin.

No, just buy the 777?

It's a completely separate product, so no you don't have to purches the NGX first.

You don't need the NGX but I would still highly recommend the 737 anyways.

Thanks for the replies guyz! 

 

Also I agree with Airbusman330, 737 is something like the primary training for 777 ^^

I wouldn't say that, those two planes are completely different from each other and even the FMC while having the same general layouts have many differences as well.

It is not a must to have it to buy the 777 it is a must to have it as it is PMDG.

I've just tried to say, If someone want to fly a 777, 737 can help a lil bit. Cuz it's something like a little brother of 777. 

 

It's surely impossible to say, 737 is similar to 777. But just can help. Cuz helped me a lot :)

Ofcourse you must!

 

Just like in most airlines you will have to suffer through years of 737 (or other short/medium range) flying before you can get a position on the long haul.....realism pure.....lol just kidding.

The only plane that may help to familiarize is the 744. But the 744 is due for a rework (v2.0) and there still is no obligation to buy any other product before the 777 (except for the FSX basesim  :P  ).

Absolutely not required to have any other PMDG product. The 777 is a stand-alone product.

I heard that especially the FMC speed logic for the Descent and Approach is completely different to the 737. While the 737 automatically sets the speed until the Final Approach speed, the 777 lets you decide. I like that philosphy, however if you are so used to that logic of the 737, the change to the 777 could be challenging. That makes the T7 Approaches even more interesting.

I guess the only thing you would obtain BY NOT purchasing the NGX is the initial 'WOW' factor when you first load into the T7.

 

The feeling I felt when I first loaded up in the NGX cockpit would no doubt be felt by a non-NGX user when first loading up in the T7 (Although I am sure I will feel a similar 'wow' when I load in the T7, it just won't be as warm as when the NGX was first loaded up in my sim with the multitude of amazing features that were introduced in the 737 in contrast to a past product such as the MD11 etc.).
