Having the same question, I'd probably ask the forum now since I can't wait for this.

They just released a new PBR visual model of the 200-LR, my ill-informed friend, so the answer to your rather snarky question - “Pray tel, when has PMDG released a new visual model for free?” - is “yesterday”

“this is essentially a full rebuild of the entire 777 product line, complete with new fly-by-wire, new flight models, new exterior models (pbr compatible with P3D v5) updated systems logic, added ground services, new sound engine, updated VNAV logic, integration for compatibility with PMDG Global Flight Operations, and much, much more.”

PMDG just released a very substantial free upgrade for a product that I bought back in February 2015. You’re also very wrong with regards to the 64-bit issue - “ 64-bit 777 = nope“. It’s actually “64-bit 777 = yep”, as they issued a free 64-bit update for my product after P3D v4 was released in 2017.

Perhaps you should try flying these aircraft rather than just bashing them, you might actually like it!

Yup, I can agree with you on this. Imagine you bought something years ago and from an old platform. Now you fly the newest platform of P3D and receive these updates FREE. Doing something free are hard, very hard and brave, because people don't respect your work!

Does anyone know what's happening with the Immersion package for the 777? I'm under the understanding that it doesn't work.

Cheers 

V1 don't, the new V2 will work with new 777.

The cockpit looks outdated and also like word not allowed for 2021.

It is also ridiculous that PMDG took 10 months to make the 777 compatible with P3D5.

Well, not every 777 in the world has a new cockpit. You will be amazed when going to the real cockpit of the aircraft that have been operating for years, you'd wish it to match the sim level of "fresh"! Anyway, they already mentioned in their forum the cockpit will be upgraded later this year.

I don't know the time and efforts they put into this update but I believed it's not that small, and they do it for free. So please, respect that. Or if you and others want top quality updates, I think they would love to, I mean really really love to spend more time, more beta tests and charge for this update.

Now, long story short, I bought the 777-200ER package. And the truth is, it need more update, I don't like it much, not yet.

Cheers,

Hoang Le

I get what you are saying, but...Without that (rip off) $1500 graphics card you probably cannot fly your 777 or anything else on P3D.....

I can fly the (not updated) PMDG 777 just fine in P3Dv4.5HF2 with my 6GB GTX 980Ti @ 1920x1080 resolution. In fact, I could do it with my previous 2GB GTX 770. This is one reason why I am more than happy to stick to standard HD resolution for flight simulation, because forking out over a thousand quid for a graphics card is something that I will never do.

I’m flying it in VR. It’s getting a bit old, but it’s still a very good cockpit, I think I like it more than the NGXu and QOTSII in terms of usability. Have you actually flown the current 777, VR or otherwise?

I got a 2nd hand 2080Ti for €650 with an EK waterblock already fitted and plan to entirely skip this series of flops (AKA 3000 series) due to all the insane pricing that's going on. The 2080Ti features 11GB of VRAM, it's insanely fast and i get easy 80-90fps (not that i care too much with the GSYNC monitor...). I did the same with my previous 1080Ti which served me well for over a year and under €450.

New hardware isn't always the best solution, specially in times like this where speculation makes things way more expensive than they really are. Forget €725 3080's, that will never happen again.

I fly p3d with the 2080Ti. I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to turn your sliders up to 11 with your new card. RTX 3090 would be nice, but it’s overkill for most applications.

The VC of my (not updated) PMDG 777F looks just fine to me, but I am displaying it @ 1920x1080 resolution.

Yes, everything is simply maxed. 3090 is... Well, waste of money.

it doesnt matter if you have a 1080ti, 2080ti or 3080ti   you get a airport with bad dynamic lighting such as Gayasim 's KOS,Tegal or EDI for example and you will have problems.

Chris,

Please note that I did say "probably"  

Apart from this aspect it really was only meant to be an anology, and, in addition, my comment and the persons comment that I was referring to was entirely irrelevant to the OPs topic.

It was never meant to be a criticism of anyones' computer system and I apologise if you took it that way.

Regards

Tony

Ouch. Not looking (or sounding) good especially for the price. I was so hyped for this....

 

 

I was definitely expecting better sounds especially based on how PMDG described the new custom sound engine and the variations in sound from the RR, PW, and GE's. After a flew flights, I'm definitely disappointed in this aspect. In this regard, FSLabs is (IMO) the best in the business.

No offence taken, my friend. My response had nothing to do with the (less than top end) power of my own PC. I just wanted to make it clear that nobody has to re-mortgage their house to get good performance in P3D

Edited February 28, 20215 yr by Christopher Low

I would have thought that those three engine types should sound significantly different externally when compared to each other. Is this evidence of another bug in the 200ER expansion?

Personally I have not purchased the expansion pack, mostly as I don't really fly the 777 that much, however, your comment on MSFS should be a hint that the 777 in MSFS is probably 2 years or much more away so if you like the 777 this may be an upgrade you will get some value from before you have to re-purchase the entire thing again for MSFS.

I also have to admit, that I do not own any PMDG products because they are simply out of my price range (sort of limits me to Carenado quality add-ons) I look at PMDG and just drool, but I still think they are expensive.

Another admission is that I am never going to be driven from P3D or XPlane due to pricing. I fly all three platforms on an almost daily basis (an advantage to being an aged Pensioner) and enjoy each of them tremendously for very different reasons.   I do dream of P3D and XPlane eventually coming to grips with world scenery of the same standard as MSFS, and, that, would make me leave MSFS forever LOL

 

For those who can afford PMDG, I envy you, because there is no suggestion of buying a bad product.  Enjoy them to the max. (No, not a Boeing LOL)

Tony, I think the Zibo 737 in X-Plane is very close to the PMDG offering...and its free.

Wow, really surprised at that video.  Not at all what I was expecting.
