September 13, 20169 yr Well, since August anyway. Added the 777-200 which nobody uses but no 777-300ER. Not sure why the 200 was added, waste of time IMHO It has been updated at least.

September 13, 20169 yr I fly the 200 and 777f all the time No you don't, you fly the -200LR which is much different from the -200 both in weights and performance. Dan Downs KCRP
September 13, 20169 yr I just noticed this too... didn't even realize this... is there an update for this or does it require a full install?

September 13, 20169 yr The 777-200 takes 99% of my flight time which is over 20 hours per week. I am very happy to finally use TopCat for the T7 as I purchased it previously in my 737 heavy days. I9 12900K @5.2Ghz 64 GB DDR4, RTX 4090, Win 11 Pro, 15 TB on 5 SSD's

September 13, 20169 yr So you constitute everyone????? I fly the 777-200! Certainly not a waste of time! As Dan says, the PMDG 777 is the -200LR. A very, very different beast to the straight -200, which appears to be what the Topcat profile is for. Edit: just to add, for context: the straight -200s have an MTOW over 100t less than the LR and about 4,500nm less range. Simon Kelsey
September 13, 20169 yr Author So you constitute everyone????? I fly the 777-200! Certainly not a waste of time! Glad you added heaps of question marks!!!!! because you sure mis understood the variance between the two 200 series. Also, this is posted in the PMDG forum, so the 200 series is not modeled.Only the LR See Dan's post above. And there is already an 200LR available in Topcat, Boeing 777-200LRX PMDG Mixed Class, did you not know that ? I just noticed this too... didn't even realize this... is there an update for this or does it require a full install? Full install. Just install over current. If using Navagraph, say no to install 2011 database.

September 14, 20169 yr Added the 777-200I don't see any 777-200. I only have the 777-200LR and 777F (which were in 2.74Beta) on the dropdown menu when I click on Add on the Aircraft page. No aircraft have been added. Cycle 1607 installed by TOPCAT is not current. The current cycle is 1609. Michael Cubine

Cycle 1607 installed by TOPCAT is not current. The current cycle is 1609. The B77L data is now complete compared to the beta. ( works in negative OAT and landing data can be computed ). Airac can be updated via Navigraph if you so choose.

But as the LR has existed for some time, it seems it is only a tweak, not a new configuration System: MSFS2024, ASUS Rog Stryx Z790-A, Intel i9-14900KF, Asus ROG Ryujin III 360 , Asus Hyperion Case,Rog Stryx 4090 OC, Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSD, 1Tb Samsung 860 EVO SSD,64Gb G Skill Memory, Asus Aura 1200W Gold PSU,Win 11 ,LG C4 48" 4K OLED Screen., Airbus TCA Full Kit, Stream Deck XL.

September 14, 20169 yr There is a user on here that compiled an excel spreadsheet for takeoff performance calculations with the LR, F, and W versions. It's great. I have it saved on my home computer. Prior, I had a few assumed temp takeoffs at places like LTBA where I realized I desperately needed something (I hit V1 at the main touchdown keys on the far end of the runway!) I replied to another Topcat thread not too long ago - it's beyond me that they do not have a 300ER profile. Are there profiles to add to Topcat for the PMDG 77W? Like profiles that can be added to PFPX (since they're both Flightsimsoft) William EzzellKATL
September 14, 20169 yr Maybe the readme meant LR, but Stephen has answered it. Typo in the readme ie the 777-200 ? But as the LR has existed for some time, it seems it is only a tweak, not a new configurationThe URL for NOAA changed and it was embed into the exe. That was changed to the new URL and Beta was dropped from 2.74. I believe those were the only significant changes. Are there profiles to add to Topcat for the PMDG 77W? Like profiles that can be added to PFPX (since they're both Flightsimsoft)I don't know of any for TOPCAT. PFPX yes, TOPCAT no. Michael Cubine
September 14, 20169 yr I thought that TOPCAT was a forgotten product, so nice to see some activity there. Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
September 14, 20169 yr No you don't, you fly the -200LR which is much different from the -200 both in weights and performance. Dan assumption is a bad thing. I fly the 200 and 777F. I didn't say in the sim Darren Toogood
