So basically, PMDG made almost $400,000 in 4 minutes. Cool hahaha

This is truly insane and goes to show how HUGE the msfs market really is. Now I see why many devs pretty much stopped developing for other sims. As of now they must have made over a million dollars.

No, they said use the default 77W one.

If you want to match interior the stats are 48 first, 24 business, 326 economy.

Correction, that's what they said on their forums but doesn't match what the plane says in the FMC. That's 12 first, 42 business, 316 economy.

All the 777-300ERs on right now. These numbers include all simulators, so not all of them are MSFS

$400k isn't all that much for a person let alone a business. I think I read somewhere they have 10 or so people working there. Should be OK though as sales will probably be strong for while.

Well, after 3 plus hours I just got my first comfirmation/download email from PMDG. I guess my order was in that batch of 6000. Let's see how long to authenticate now.

In four minutes... four mintutes.

Well after jumping through all the hoops to get it downloaded, the install was quick and easy. Everything looks great, I updated the FMC Airac, the Simbrief was already set up, I guess from the 737.  The flight deck looks pretty similar to the 737 ( Boeing likes to keep many things the same) Going to try A Pilots Flight Tomorrow and see how that goes. It is a great looking aircraft, I love the landing gear. I guess to move back to the cabin, I will have to use the drone view, have to get that sorted out.

There is a 777-200  Should be close enough.

There is a B77W profile in Simbrief...set up in early May...assuming it has been created for the new PMDG.

Completed my first (short) flight...CYVR to CYYC...flew very nice...love the new LNAV.

Only item was/is the GSX profile...unloading cargo at CYYC and it came out at the height of the cabin. Haven't seen a profile online yet...may have to tweak the existing one.

Overall...very pleased!

So after I finally was able to download, over 2 hours later, got a chance to do a short flight YYZ-YUL.

Thoughts so far....

    - I think this is my 3rd purchase of the PMDG 777 so everything was familiar.

    - Seemed to me that the autopilot was a bit twitchy/aggressive in turns ?

    - Turning onto the ILS the sounds were wild.  Like a freight train whistle, not sure what that is about.  

 

Oh, and don't use a reply tool right after landing, your brakes will overhead and melt your tires.
