September 15, 201312 yr The wind flex is way too much. I have looked on the you tube and they don't looked as flexed as much as the PMDG one. Not sure what anybody else thinks? Mo
September 15, 201312 yr You are the only one, that I can recall, who has made this claim. The pilots who are on the Tech And Beta teams who fly the 777 for a living have no issue with the wing flex. Pete Mc Paint PMDG Graphic Designer http://www.precision...GX_Dev_Team.jpg PMDG Graphic Designer
September 16, 201312 yr I also mentioned in another thread I felt it seemed exaggerated. No, I don't work on the 777 for a living but I have spent a lot of time around them and never noticed the wing flex THAT much when they are coming in. I trust PMDG that they programmed it right though. / CPU: Intel i7-9700K @4.9 / RAM: 32GB G.Skill 3200 / GPU: RTX 4080 16GB / Freight Pilot

I trust PMDG that they programmed it right though. I am sure you realize that PMDG modeled the long range version, which has different wings than the -200 and -300, right? Also do you have any idea the passenger and fuel loads of these airplanes you are watching landing, compared to what you load up in the sim? And to the OP, what is "wind flex?"
September 16, 201312 yr I'm sure for that one PMDG have measured it by the centimeter... Regards, Martin Martinov / VATSIM 1207931
September 16, 201312 yr Commercial Member Ahhhh, the YouTube defense... Probably looks exaggerated because of the extra length on the wing, and a perspective illusion from the raked tips. Kyle Rodgers
September 16, 201312 yr I remember when PMDG start to show us the beta development pics and some people says that was not too much of wing flex...everybody has his point of view...for me is just the right wing flex!! Mitchel Muñoz
September 16, 201312 yr I saw a documentary on the R&D of the 777 some years ago. They showed the test of the wing strength by bending it until it snapped off, and it was violent. Anyway, the wingtip flexed upward 17 feet before it broke. Edited September 16, 201312 yr by bills511
September 16, 201312 yr Commercial Member Anyway, the wingtip flexed upward 17 feet before it broke. haha - 17 feet? Try 24. I can still hear it in my head: "154......" BOOM "154..." BOOM "154" BOOM "154" BOOM "154" BOOM BOOM "154" BOOM "154" BOOM "154" BOOM "154" BOOM "154" BOOM "154..." BOOM "154" BOOM BOOM "154" BOOM "154" BOOM ...and if you think the above is a joke: Kyle Rodgers
September 16, 201312 yr what is "wind flex?" Feed me beans with onions and I'll show you wind flex :Big Grin: Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
