Are you sure it's just not a pamphlet?

4. Camera shake for ground roll, touchdown, turbulence, aerodynamic effects, etc. have been added. Possibly will obsolete FSRealistic usage entirely.

Hopefully they've considered VR on that feature. Camera moves not associated with user head movement is the quickest technique to make people hurl.

PMDG Released a Boeing manual with the first 747 release back In FS9.But Boeing told them to remove it as it`s copyright under Boeing. Since then, they have included a sim based manual for each aircraft.

Not sure about the 747, but PMDG actually had a formal licensing agreement with Boeing that allowed them to include real aircraft manuals for both the 737 and 777, and to sell printed versions. I had purchased the 737 manual set when it was available.

That license was apparently not renewed, so they can no longer provide “real” Boeing manuals.

It could also have been a very clever marketing decision to create hype around the launch...

It wasn't.

Just to confirm, this 777 content exposure was unplanned as admitted by Mathijs of PMDG.

Thanks for the link!

Furthermore, the manual also provides insight into some of the included features. Here is a list of some of the most interesting features:

• UFT is moveable to window, standard position, or on top of CDU
• UFT adopts a Fenix-style charging method, where the battery can run out
• Brakes can visually wear and wear pins can be checked on walk-around
• Wheels can be checked on a walk-around and will get dirty with each landing
• A lot of airframe options to replicate different carriers
• Cabin temp at ambient will be affected by air volume, sunlight  heating etc
• Wing flex, engine wobble etc accurately represented
• Dynamic and real engine oil, hydraulic fluid consumption
• Realistic failures based on service
• CPDLC and data-link implemented
• Doors may give false open indications (a common issue with 777 because of dirt around the sensor, opening and closing are usually fixed)
• Fire bottles and squibs may fail the test and require mx

That's an interesting one. There's a video of a Delta 77L landing at ATL that I have seen where they have an open door indication which clears during roll out. Probably spurious, too. I will have to see if I saved this one somewhere.

Oh no I think I fell in love right now! What will the Duke think about me when cheating with another plane? Wow so awesome the first plane where these brake pins are fully animated and can be checked. And the door indicator failure makes it necessary to stand up and have a look if the door is fully closed before continuing the cockpit preparations.

I hope there's integration with GSX, similar to Fenix.

Got Rick Rolled ...  👀🤣

Like most, I’ll buy this on day one but the lack of any real innovation since 2013 on the triple is slightly disappointing. We saw pretty much this exact model 11 years ago and it was pretty cool back then. Not so much now. 

The UFT for one is embarrassingly mediocre when you compare it to the Fenix, for example.

GSX integration, cabin sounds, opening windows, new textures, cabins etc are all where the bar is now. Let’s hope they deliver.

It's interesting that an open-door indication before reaching V1 requires an abort, unless it is under a deferred item and has been cleared by maintenance and visually checked by a pilot before the flight. That's why videos without clear descriptions can be quite problematic, as people might misinterpret them. Unfortunately, a few videos lead airlines and pilots to get an interview with some authorities as possible violations. For this reason, at our airline we are prohibited from taking even pictures, let alone small video clips.

No it isn’t.  The INI A300, you can do this. As well as visual tire wear.

I literally spit myself reading this.
