June 18, 20214 yr I do not (yet) have this as I am on the fence about buying an old propeller plane with no avionics. As much as I want the first PMDG for MSFS, I am hesitant that it might sit and collect dust in the virtual hangar. I guess they have shown that this MSFS engine can produce amazing fidelity with minimal performance impact, is this statement correct? If that is the case for a/c like that, with beautiful details inside and out but no fly-by-wire running in the background. I wonder; can they pull this off with the 777?

It's long been available not just for XPlane but also for P3D... are you folks who are new to it jumping on it just because it's the first PMDG plane for the new sim and you want something of theirs to mess with even if it's not what your usual fare would be? I'd also be interested in the opinions of folks who try it who have experience with the P3D version as well. I bought the P3D edition almost as soon as it was available and I love the thing. I'm just wondering how they compare, with the exclusion of the obvious fact that the MSFS version is going to look much better. Thoughts on that? For me, it's the way the plane looks in MSFS with the lighting/reflections/textures compared to what it looked like when it came out for P3D originally. I wasn't really interested it in for the previous flight sim platforms but it just looks fantastic.

There were just too many good planes available for P3D, that's why probably. Then again P3D is really about procedural flying and operating for me, I didn't really get into VFR or something where the "feeling" is important, e.g. old non-glass aircraft like that one. Now in MSFS it really feels alive and looks stunning. Then again, yes, it's the most study level plane available for MSFS and I will buy anything study level no matter the cost, guilty as charged. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

I am going to have to watch these tutorial videos again. When I turn the autopilot disconnect on, then the Altitude control can be turned on(up Position) Is that the way it is supposed to work?
