777 in Prepar3D

but I'm getting the distinct impression that the most level-headed and helpful people are going to be the ones with the red posts most often.

Ha, works for me! Now I can just scroll through the threads, and look for the posts with the eye-catching red square to read; those posts are usually the correct ones!

Probably some coward in a dark room eating Doritos, chugging Mountain Dew, thinking that I'm some huge jerk for finding things for people, particularly because they don't like the answer...

Well Kyle, for every vote down, I have voted up, and even have  cancelled some out  to some of your posts.

 

I wish Tom would remove the voting system, it is rather silly.

I saw one the other day, where an avsim member was posting a helpful topic, assisting another member, and it was voted dowm !!

Glad to see the Care Bears sig back Kyle and keep telling it like it is.  I always enjoy your insightful posts as there isn't a trace of sugar coating to be found, just the facts.  Are you sure you weren't a lawyer at one point...those look like some pretty expensive Ray Bans in your avatar B)

 

I'm on my 3rd PMDG 777 flight today in FSX

I agree and it sounded like a good idea at the time. It will be gone in less than 5 minutes in its entirety including the up votes.

Thanks Tom. Fantastic :good:

Now Kyle...  I wasn't drinking Mountain Dew...  I drink Coke.  Regular Coke.

 

The dew drinker is Paul- and he doesn't like when i sit here in the dark munching on the doritos- so you know he wasn't involved...  B)

Dear Community,

I have a quite big problem: I only have P3D, and i'd like to run the PMDG 777

I have heard that it isn't possible to install it directly into P3D, the same thing as the 737.

I managed to run the 737 on P3D with a few tweaks, a friend of mine used the FSX to Preoar3d migration tool....

 

FSX and P3D run on the same source code, so...

Did anybody try to import it?

Thank you!

Greetings

Eventually someone will get it working for P3d. Ya never know PMDG might even take their heads out of the sand and see the future and let us use the plane in P3d. Just an FYI I wouldn't patch the NGX when they roll out the SP for it as it may break P3d Compatibility.

I think the  voting up and down was good... it helps avoding unpleasant fights here..  

 

If you agree with something but don't have anything particular  to add, just  vote up and if you disagree but don't want to rant over it and avoid ugly fights..vote down and move on

 

Hmm....  :smile:

 

If there was a vote up or down, that would have given me a feedback on this post too.  :biggrin: Now I would never know if most folks agree with me or disagree with me. Now they would have to PM me... J/k J/k

The main problem Manny, it was being abused. I mean helpful posts being voted down.

 

 

I drink Coke. Regular Coke.

You do realize that Coca Cola use coke to clean there own machines. It can even take rust off a rusty nail. Stay healthy Robert :lol:

The voting system in principle is fine. But as Julian points out it was being abused.

We clearly were not ready for it.

We are going off topic !

One thing is sure: If PMDG don't go to P3D soon, they will be in a very delicate position...

 

P3D V2.0 with DX11 is coming next week and I see here and there that there will be a rush to this new SW. It seems that in fact P3d is becoming mature and it is the beginning of the end for FSX...

 

Just my opinion.

Are you advocating cracking the 777? You are aware using this would be unlawful?

Well... they seem to be so either way. Allow P3D outright? Risk involving wrath of Boeing. Allow it "silently"? Well, given the situation with NGX, clearly this would not be due dilligence..
Disallow P3D? Feel the trolls. Truly a no-win situation I wouldn't want to be in.

Software wise... it was ready for a long time... the problems are elsewhere.

Thanks Tom.

Now you know why PMDG let this thread run in their own forum:

 

Lots of opportunities for people to embarrass themselves ...

haha - I can't say that categorically (I've been wrong more than a few times), but it definitely seemed like the correct responses were too real for people, I guess.  And no, I'm not specifically referring to my own.

 

 

 

Well Kyle, for every vote down, I have voted up, and even have cancelled some out to some of your posts.

 

Much appreciated!

Just the facts...perhaps a rant or two...or five...but no lack in detail right?  Haha.  Thanks!

 

Honestly, my mom always gives me a bunch of crap for not going to law school with how I'm always in a debate with someone.  As far as the RayBans go, I actually paid $0 for them.  Worked at a flight school that did a lot of international pilot training.  Their first exposure to aviation tended to be Top Gun, so they all showed up with aviators, and tended to leave them around the dispatch desk.  Those still there after 30 days ended up going home with me.

 

 

 

Now Kyle... I wasn't drinking Mountain Dew... I drink Coke. Regular Coke.

The dew drinker is Paul- and he doesn't like when i sit here in the dark munching on the doritos- so you know he wasn't involved...

 

haha - I was confused for a second, because I didn't remember Coke on the order last time...only Dr. Pepper...and then I remembered Dave's serves Pepsi.

 

The Clipper probably doesn't like you munching on Doritos, either.  Crumbs attract birds...evil, berry-eating, tail-sitting fowl.
