March 20, 201412 yr Simple : Holy $?&/ this airplane is AMAZING! The framerates are incredible for something as detailed, it flies like a dream, I'm incredibly surprised! I took her for a YUL-CDG, built the plan in PFPX, imported the route and the winds in the FMS, set up the step climb and the auto-cruise... That flight in around 2 hours with the autocruise is incredible. I had quite a heavy crosswind on approach, and it hand flies really well! I wasn't great, but on a first flight, it wasn't that bad! Reacts really well to the rudder. Those GE engines are powerful! Climbing at 3,400fpm and it didn't seem to sweat at all! She was still doing 2,500+ at a FL350 step - wow! Seriously, what an amazing job you guys have done. I'm already sold on the 773ER! And I can't wait for FS2Crew for the ultimate realism ------------- Quick questions: Before engine start, and then all the way to takeoff, the yoke was slightly to the left. I checked my calibration and all was well - it also flew normally. Why was that happening? I had a master caution that lit up right before takeoff, could not reset it for the whole flight, had no ECAS messages, recall was blank - huh? The FO FMS was frozen. It would display messages, but did not react to any key press. Was I doing something wrong?< Thanks guys!
March 20, 201412 yr Hi check this thread outhttp://forum.avsim.net/topic/418750-pmdg-777-issue-tracking-thread-read-before-posting/ With the master caution light being on is a known bug that if you start from the cold/dark panel state you will get this, so start from any other panel state I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
March 20, 201412 yr Before engine start, and then all the way to takeoff, the yoke was slightly to the left. I checked my calibration and all was well - it also flew normally. Why was that happening? I guess the animation was slightly off, happens to me sometimes. Full range control movement (during controls check) will fix it. --Peter Fabian
March 20, 201412 yr Author You meant the FO CDU was frozen, not the FO FMS. Yes. That was the 3am talking. I guess the animation was slightly off, happens to me sometimes. Full range control movement (during controls check) will fix it. It didn't. It flew fine, though.
