Is the 777 really "better" than the NGX?

Featured Replies

the 777 is a great simulation. I think i pefer the NGX though because I feel like I'm fully flying the thing with it not having FBW and all. but its still cool to have a big &@($* jet.

I have both and I prefer the NGX just for the 2D panel, where as in the 3T you have to push several buttons to get close to the 2D or buy another software to do it.

I am not saying that the T7 is inferior but if they gave us the option as well to have a 2D panel I would prefer it than the NGX.

I'm really loving both the NGX and my new shiny 777 but they are difficult to compare to me. Both are quite different beasts and the 777 is a much more advanced aircraft avionics wise. I can spend hours for example looking at the non normal checklists etc, the depth is incredible. I am also very impressed with the new ground operations and wind upload feature which is invaluable. I will continue to fly both regularly and when the new 747 comes out, we will really be spoilt for choice!

 

The immersion especially with the sound set is even better than the NG in my opinion

 

Just noticed myself but does the 777 have no HUD option? don't usually fly with it in the NG even though is a great feature.

Only FedX have a HUD in real life, it's a full blown enhanced vision system.

 

 


you have to push several buttons to get close to the 2D

 

Can you name  the several buttons  since  am finding it  hard  to think of  the buttons  your referring to :Thinking:

ooops, sorry PMDG, I posted a comment on the 777 forums, when I thought I was making a more generalized comment on Hangar Chat.  Please delete (and persuade Avsim to give us a Delete button :P )

The mouse button? :P

Button A several times. and then the HUD switch on the joystick) and the zoom buttons ( - and + ) to get what you want, where else in th NGX was just the F10.

Stelios Christofides

I just use the space bar and mouse and the middle  button if I need to zoom so there is no need to press those buttons  you mentioned
