September 13, 201312 yr Hey there. I bought the 777 and I have to say, it's phenomenal. I absolutely love it. I have a question though. Back in May of this year, there was a preview screenshots thread where there was talk about the bluing agent on the engines' exhaust cones when you have new engines, and how it turns the normal color over time and eventually develops sooting. I was wondering, is there a menu somewhere that is keeping track of the hours on these engines? Is it a persistently tracked system like A2A's Accusim? If I felt so inclined, how can I get new engines with these blue exhaust cones, and can I watch the blue fade over time eventually to black? I'm also wondering if the effect of "dirty" engines is modeled where they emit more black smoke when "dirty". I'm really curious about this. Thanks! Dan "N602AC" Marovitch

Look in the PMDG folder for the 777X and you'll find some .ini and .hours files. One for the options for a particular tail number, and another for the hours, respectively. Kyle Rodgers
