Can someone post the pics here?  I can never login there because the forgot password thing never sends a link to my email.

NM found the pics on discord and linking them in for people like me!

Sounds like it's still weeks/months away... so much for a short(er) beta

Agreed...seems like 2-4 months still.  They're probably aiming for a summer release.  When I read the words "adding features" that means a lot more time.

not a huge deal to me.  But I wonder if the window in the cockpit actually opens?

It was opened in previous versions of P3D and FSX, so it should be opened in this new version, I presume.

PMDG 737 went into beta Feb 13 2022 and released on May 7 2022 I would say they are not too far away didn't the 777 Beta went before or around Christmas? they say this should be more smoother. I'm hoping at least before CTP in April.

Looks great. Can't wait.

There's a tiller on the righthand side? Didn't realize that...

[MikeH99 157]

Better have proper sunshades. Mandatory in cruise.

I think this will be the best 777 for a home market flight simulator when it’s released.

Just a guess I'm thinking that some operators or Countries the Captain flies from the right seat? Seen plenty on Youtube.

I have never ever seen a Captain ever fly from the right seat of anything but a helicopter. It's just not a thing. However, it is fairly common for larger aircraft to have tillers on both sides of the aircraft.

Looks like it just might be released this decade.

It looks very nice indeed. Another gem to look forward to in 2024.

This is not what you mean. This from my favorite aircraft in the sim btw. Fast Foward to 3 min mark. Current airliner so the same.
