Evening,

 

I decided to go ahead and purchase the 777, aircraft now installed without any problems and plan to do my first flight tomorrow. Now a few questions.... I know there's always the same questions being asked on these forums ie release dates etc etc. So before I continue I apologise in advance if these questions have been already answered. Firstly I never done a lot of reading into the product specs ie what it features and certain things like wing flex blah blah blah, I just bought it knowing PMDG is firsts class when it comes to aircraft like this and this is a thing a beauty already ! I noticed though that it does not include the RR engine variant ? Is there any reason for this ? Is it planned etc ? And I am hearing after buying the product that no -300 variant will be made ? Is this rumours or am I correct in reading that ?

 

Regards

The -200LR and -300ER only use GE.  If they team releases an expansion consisting of the -200ER and -300, then we could see the three engine variants.

The real life 777-200LR uses only one type of engine. Companies cannot buy a 777-200LR with a different engine variant.

Same goes for the 777-300ER, which is actually expected to be the next product release from PMDG.

 

The 777-200ER has different engine variants. Not sure when 777-200ER will be released by PMDG, but it will be after -300ER.

 

The real world 777-300ER has GMCS (Cameras to help ground maneuvering and taxi which display in the cockpit)... and only 1 engine type available. (Only 1 engine type from Boeing, not just PMDG)

 

the 777-300ER is not the same as a 777-300.

Omg as I respect your question and will all due respect possible, you are confusing very different models. What you got is the 777-200LR and 777-200LRF which use GE


other models (which don't have yet, but may show as addons) include:

777-300ER GE

777-200ER GE, RR, PW

 

777-300 GE RR, PW, GE (second GE engine here)

777-200 GE RR, PW

 

 

I noticed though that it does not include the RR engine variant ?

 

Correct.

 

 

 

Is there any reason for this ?

 

The real aircraft does not have this option.

 

 

 

Is it planned etc ?

 

No.

 

 

 

And I am hearing after buying the product that no -300 variant will be made ?

 

The -200LR/F is out.

The -300ER will follow (similarly, only the GE engines, because that's all the real one comes with)

The -200ER will follow that.

 

Currently, no -200 or -300 has been committed to.
