Hi all! 

   I have been flying the PMDG B777X since the day it came out (well maybe one day later from release) but I noticed that it can only be loaded up from a default plane----starts up FS X---Then replace the default Cessna with the PMDG B777X. Otherwise if you were to save it as the start up flight, either it crashes the whole flight sim, or just will not initialise when it starts up in flight sim if saved as a "default flight" with the PMDG B777X selected as the start up aircraft. This is definitely a bug with the plane as there is no such difficulty with the PMDG NGX. I think it crashes the PMDG.dll or something like that. As of now, the plane is in the hangar until the first patch is out. Now have to chase the PMDG team for the patch.

It is all explained in the manual so I suggest you follow that. In shorts:

 

1: don't create a default flight with the 777 selected because of the way FSX starts the flight.

 

2: if you follow the rule above, create a free flight, select the airport, weather and 777 as you desire and fly.

Hi!

 

Noted. Only problem with what you just mentioned is that my default flight is starting up with the PMDG NGX at an Aerosoft airport with no problems. A complicated airport with a PMDG product. This was what let me to suspect that this is a bug with the PMDG B777X as I do not have the same problem with the NGX.

Yea I experienced that as well.  And I did see the mention in the Intro document when I went through it.  But just skim through that part, so never drew the link between the two lol.
