01APR14 - PMDG 777-200LR/F Feature Preview - WX RADAR

Recommended Posts

Bits I like:

We are essentially finished with work on the SP1 update for the PMDG 777-200LR/F,

 

B)

 

Don't like, -_- only coz this means delay .... the QC bit is essential and let's hope any issues are quickly resolved:

but we are not yet happy with it on the Quality Control side, so it remains in testing for the moment.  We are chasing down a few behaviors in the fly-by-wire system that we do not like, researching a few reports of unexpected problems that our beta testers have identified, and generally going through the normal process to verify all the changes we have made.

 

Like:

We have added almost a dozen completely new features to the airplane, one of those features is a simulation of the operational FMC datalink for performance, weather forecast along route, alternate data, etc.   (But we’ll come back to that a bit later!)

and

Now- we still have a few items we are working to resolve, such as a proper ground reflectance model but we don’t want to hold up the whole SP1 or keep this little radar gem disabled while we work that out- so look for ground interaction in a future model…

And the best bit .... :lol:

We rolled this out to our beta testers last week, and they are in love with it.

 

 

 

Now that I like :)

Time to crack open the manuals and read that section on weather radar.

Okay- more information on some of the other new features in just a bit!

 

I'm thinking one more update tonight!

We have to buy the HIFI as a separate expansion for this to work?

Wow, what a cool feature

 

......and I hope Damian Clark can implement this feature so that the updated ASN weather package (including this new feature) can run on a second PC, downloading the weather from the HiFi servers, massaging the data prior to sending it over the network connection, only to be injected into the PMDG 777 ND display directly, or via another module.

 

Anything  that can be off-loaded to a 2nd PC should help minimize the resource load on the PC running FSX or P3D?

 

ASN, coupled with either the PMDG 737 or 777 is combination that is unbeatable...................realistic weather makes sim flying so immersive. With PFPX for flight planning, it doesn't get any better than this!

Hi robert, quick question, i notice the seems to have what appears to be an auto tilt function (am i mistaking the A for something else?), but will it also have the option to look at weather at a selectable Flight Level instead of an angle, or is that a different model radar?

 

Secondly, will it depict windshear and show its alert and FD guidance?

You know what'll make everyone happy?

 

Port it to the NGX.

That would be absolutely epic; while I'm sure a lot of us own the 777, theirs plenty who like me use the NGX as their trusted FS plane as we prefer the 1-3 hour flight segments.

 

We have to buy the HIFI as a separate expansion for this to work?

 

PMDG stated that it would be up to others to work with PMDG for their product to give data to the 777.

 

Maybe this is why REX 4 Wx direct is taking so long... :ph34r:

Real happy to hear about this Captain Randazzo!!! A couple weeks ago I was descending into KMSY (New Orleans), when i ran into what seemed to be the mother of all storms. The turbulence was so bad I wasn't sure we were going to make it, I eventually disconnected the autopilot and took over, but that wasn't much better. If you're using ASN weather radar is a MUST!!!

 

Thanks for the hard work PMDG!!!!!

As always, thanks for the update Robert!  Truly amazing and can't wait.

Gents-

 

A few of you can't seem to get it into your habit pattern to sign your posts.

 

I am going to start handing out very stiff forum bans if I have to keep removing your posts because you can't adjust to a forum rule we enacted in 1999...

Besides the WXR, I got slightly excited because I thought I saw Radius-To-Fix legs on the ND matching the Abbortsford RNP 07 departure....but then I realised it's the right airport but not the right departure...  :lol: B) ...

Me thinks about having latest ARINC format in PMDG buses :Drooling: :Drooling:
