I realize there are many on here who would prefer the sounds be exactly like in a real cockpit.  I'm not necessarily one of those.  Using a home  flight sim by definition means we lack much of the tactile feedback of a real aircraft.  It's the reason I like switch clicks.  In a real aircraft with wind/engines/cooling fans/gyro's etc they are not heard as clearly.  But having the click in a home sim makes the experience more convincing.  That's why I prefer sound mods where I can hear the MD-80 engines.  Unrealistic.  Yes.  But having those sounds makes up from the other limitations of a home sim.  Luckily we will eventually likely have a choice between another supplemental engine payware package.  Choice is a good thing.  Overall I'm excited to get the 777.  It may not be the PMDG 744 I'm really holding out for, but it's a step in the right direction.  

Completely agree - which is why I would rather devs model the "louder" option and you can always turn it down in the settings if you don't like it. The other way around there's nothing you can do about it.

Of note, even V1 thought the engine sounds were not great. And I love the 737 sounds - think they are spot on. They have an excellent low range that shakes the subwoofer for sure. 

V1 is not biased either. He gave credit for FSS but said it still lacks and would be willing to help them.

Are all these streamers running with FG and/or other performance mods whilst streaming? I'm seeing lots of texture discrepancies going on, be better if they ran it default/vanilla and just lowered other in game settings like what the used to do.

Saitek X45 HOTAS - Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals - Logitech Flight Yoke - Homemade 3 Button & 8-directional Joystick Box, SNES Controller (used as a Button Box - Additional USB Numpad (used as a Button Box)

I would never be able to live with the graphical discrepancies that FG seems to induce. I would rather have lower framerates.

Not me. That one specific view of engines you don’t see from the cockpit. Meanwhile you get lightning smoothness. Small sacrifice

Blackbox771 is streaming now on Youtube and twitch. A real 787 pilot and certified to fly the 777 is probably the least bias streamer out there and he uses MSFS, X-Plane and P3D.

If you stand outside a 777 and listen to the engine start like people do in the sim, you would probably never hear another thing after that. Except for some loud ringing maybe.

They DO that? I'm too busy monitoring the pushback and engine parameters.

If you want some honest opinions about the 777 from an IRL 787 captain and avid flight simmer, check out the stream of https://www.twitch.tv/blackbox711

 

Yea, watching that it seems something is wrong with the flight model trim on final approach when manual flying. He is talking g about it but is not sure what is wrong. Yikes! Not good….

With complete respect, you're kind of exaggerating his stream. He's not making it seem like it's a complete dud because of the trim issues. So "Yikes! Not good..." is a bit dramatic. Overall, he seems very positive.

Ya, I’ll term it how I please. He made three approaches and on the final 3rd approach he’s saying it’s oscillating up and down and the FBW is too sensitive so yeah that’s not good. I don’t care if your word not allowed or not.
