FF seems to have set a new standard for airliner-addons in flightsims! This plane looks pretty awesome in its alpha-state. It looks like it will be the best simulated airliner for any sim so far. So thrilling to see this level of details.

 

Mach 88.

 

I love their 757 and 767 ultimate packages. The last one, -400ER is just awesome! I was yearning for special airliners and they are delivering it!!

Am buying this one definitely as well! And the best thing in all of this, they are delivering the -200ER which is the best flown like -300ER. Let that become an expansion package😁.

Yeah, not even close to being the best.

After watching the stream, have to say they really raise the bar on themselves on this one and with this aircraft as good as is, is any indication of what's to come on their 787, then we are really in for a treat.

Consider this type of aircraft, I don't see anything that out that beats it. They model more things I would not have thought about. Modeling the crew cabinet upstares where they sleep? I didn't even know that existed.

The system and all of the monitoring of systems, engine and temps, hydraulic, air pressure on all the tires with maintenances, some of the feature reminances of what you find in the Hotstart Challenger 650; movement of wheels when turning; wear and tear of the tires with blow outs and I don't want to get into the modeling of the circuit breakers and the number of failures, loadsheet receive after loading and that just the tip of the iceberg. This aircraft has far more than just a mere pretty texture to look at and they went far above and beyond our expectation that this developer was not known for deserves a lot more credit than "not close to being the best."  No they shown us that they are much better than anything we have seen so far with the other side needing to climb a tall mountain in order to top that.

I am sorry for you guys. I couldn‘t think of a better comment demonstrating how painful it must feel.

Looks like a good all-round improvement, and hopefully will bring some higher standards to Paid XP aircraft in general (aka the all round package).

The wings/flaps textures look low quality compared with the rest of the aircraft, but overall - looks neat.

I think calling this raising the bar / best aircraft in the Flightsim community is a biiiiig stretch here, based on the initial video. Looks no where near the complexity of Hotstart Chally or Fenix A320 - at all.

But definitely new standards for XP & hopefully will force other XP developers to quit with the narrative of “Oh we don’t care about X because we’re all about Y”. All rounder’ness is much better to hold developers to account on!

Once it’s out of beta and there’s more in-depth videos, may be a purchase - we’ll see.

What it offers could already be seen in 2 live-streams and I am not aware of any other addon simulating all those interactions with ground-crews, can apply detailled maintenance on every system and has a detailled built-in pushback-truck that can be driven by the user. And that also models visually the outside damage like flat tires. It’s close to CL650-level, the still untouched most « studylevel » plane ever made for any sim. The FF777v2 clearly raises the bar in the category of airliners. And it could become the new standard for flightsims. So the real question is if other sims will be able to compete with that high level or if it will be an exclusivity we will only see in XP. Addons-makers from other platforms will have to catch up to offer a similar experience. For now I am not aware of any other airliner of that depth.

I looks fwd into some video showing how C*u is implemented. It was a big failure on the original and up to the very last update for P3d of the PMDG 777...

Without denigrating anyone and with all the caution in the world, it looks like one of the addons of the year. After the bad experience with other PMDG products and flying more and more in x-plane I will surely buy this FF v2.

Ive never been intrigued by the airliners for some reason but this has peaked my interest! Strictly GA here. 

Tell me you are insecure without telling you are insecure. Case study.

Ah. And also the hilarious reply to someone that does not share the same view.

Never stop Franz.

Everyone is entitled to its opinion. You can think whatever you want. I can only laugh at such reactions, coming from a particular community praising itself nonstop. Your reaction confirms me that I hit the nail.

What a coincidence that this « someone » comes from that same community and was (more than obviously) offended, exactly like you.

You know what’s funny? I was discussing such similar comments with someone a few days ago. I could understand and even support some factual exchanges and debate with solid arguments. That’s also what a forum is for. Instead of that you guys are so openly showing your weak side by attacking the people you disagree with and are stucked with such trolling-comments. I just struggle to understand why you guys don’t seem to realise that and are exposing yourself that obviously. So at the end, with such comments you already lost every credibility. But feel free to keep exposing yourself like that. I just don’t find it a very mature behaviour. It’s up to you.

Generally I only buy one add on per aircraft type, even though I actively use both sims. The fact that FF will release a 772 and PMDG a 77W will give me an excuse to buy both.

All this detail will have to measure up at the most important point of all - frame times.

You can not simulate screw fastening torque variation with altitude when it means barely scratching at the 20 FPS line on a $800 CPU and $1500 GPU.
