March 25, 20206 yr I'm considering to purchase it. But a major criterion for me is: Can I save the flight situation when airborne and reload this situation at another day without any (panel state) flaws? - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
March 25, 20206 yr Honestly, this I do not know. But as it has a "jump ahead" feature, you can finish even longest haul flights easily in 2h time just like any short haul flight. Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024
March 25, 20206 yr Yes, not sure it's "without any flaws" but it's certainly recoverable without too much effort.
March 25, 20206 yr Yeah, we can reload a saved flight. Just a few clicks inside the VC after reloading to restore the entire previous situation. JPM Ryzen9 7900X3D, GTX 4080, Ram 64 Gb
March 25, 20206 yr Smaller things like lights, chairs, PFD Screen Settings, Interiour lights have to be set manually after reloading a sqved flight. But FMC Fliggtplan, Fuelload, remaining fuel, waypoints, Alignments all stored and rrloadable. Takes less then 30 sec to do some manually knob settings. For me it is ok as it is, allthough it would be nice if everything would be saved and could be restored Regards, Marcus P.
March 25, 20206 yr Author Thank you captains, that's exactly what I wanted to know ... makes my decision a lot easier. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
March 25, 20206 yr the jump ahead feature is a pretty neat feature. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
March 25, 20206 yr In my irrational exuberance having just upgraded from P3D 3.4 to 4.5 for my new PC build, decided I needed another heavy so bought this plane. It looks pretty good but I'm spoiled by PMDG 777 and I'm wishing I hadn't done this purchase now. Maybe that will change as I learn about flying the 787 we'll see.

March 25, 20206 yr 777 is tighter on the systems. Without question. However the 787 blows it away in terms of visuals. I realize PMDG is working on cleaning up the 777 however. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
March 25, 20206 yr I have seen quite a few comments about the visual appearance of the PMDG 777 when compared to alternative PMDG (and other) planes, and I remain puzzled. It looks every bit as good as anything else that I have on my PC, and that includes the QW787. Maybe I am just not looking hard enough, but the level of detail of the VC in the 777 (which is where I am 99.9% of the time) is excellent, and the textures are crisp and clear at all zoom levels.

March 25, 20206 yr Yes Christopher. In the VC is fine. It's the outside. Or even the view of the engines/wing from inside. Some people like to also look around when at cruise. Or perhaps take screenshots. Whatever it may be, there is no denying that the exterior visual quality of the 777 is not up to data. In fact I suspect that's the reason they have just finished a pbr update and moving it to testing. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

I've only done it once in many, many F1 purchases, and it was pretty painless. Thanks for the reminder I did forget to even look into it. I will check it out and see if it's worth it or not. I should take those $$ and put them into a small regional jet as I go from Phenom 300 to Q400 to 737NGX to 777. I really like the 777 it is such a polished craft and performs surprisingly well. I DO need that RTX3080Ti I can see, or can't, as the case may be, now Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.

Pretty sure it has some flaws with saving the state of certain panel items. What aggravates me is how rarely they release fixes for this. There’s definitely some rough edges still left.
