June 26, 20241 yr Just completed my delivery flight KPAE - KEWR. Its a gem of a plane. handles beautifully and on the RNAVZ22L it was very easy to hold centerline and gentle in the flare under mild crosswind. I know very little about the systems in the 777 but the electronics aren't exactly alien if you're coming from the NG. Now comes the learning! Enjoy the new bird everyone and good night!

June 26, 20241 yr took few hours to get the download link but this 77w is a clear winner. they even got the cockpit night lighting pretty much perfect. the vc eyepoint needs a little adjustment, tho.

June 26, 20241 yr Whichever fool complained on Reddit about weak engine spool up, based on the streamer's vids was so wrong, it's super good. I thought my ears were going to explode in my Razr headphones, superb. I spent about an hour at KPAE with her, just messing around the systems and taxiing a bit and she's a beauty. Can't wait to take her up in the air tomorrow on my delivery flight. Jacek G.

Yeah coming from the 737 other than the cold and dark, very similar to fly (if not easier since more is auto managed). I was also very surprised how smooth it was to land. I was expecting to crash it since it was my first heavy in the game, but it ended up being the smoothest landing I have ever had in the sim. I also managed to try the time compression feature (only went up to 8x) on my flight from JFK to EGLL, was a block time of 6.5 hours, I flew it up to TOC and picked it back up at the TOD, and had zero issues, had a long taxi at JFK but it cut 3 hours off with a total block time of 3.5 hours.

June 26, 20241 yr Ok ok. I am sold. Finally a long hauler. And first good feedback. So just jumped into the water.

June 26, 20241 yr I haven't read the whole post, sorry if I missed this question: how is the fps compared to the 737 Edited June 26, 20241 yr by History DA B760M PRO4 | i5-13400F | RTX 3060 12 GB | G.Skills Ripjaws 32GB | MSI MAG A550BN | Ace Power 1 TB NVMe | Cooler Master Hyper 212

But fun aside, I read it compares equally and thus I just bought and installed the 777, getting ready for my first flight and will be able to tell you in few minutes Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"

I haven’t had a problem with the pitch when hand flying and I personally thought the sounds were awesome!

June 26, 20241 yr 21 minutes ago, History said: 😄😄 Thank you. actually very good on fps, no impact at all on my by now modest system, seems (subjectively) better on fps still than the Fenix, can hardly tell though since I fly capped at 30 fps which is almost always manageable to obtain Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
