June 29, 20241 yr I'm just not really excited by this plane I feel like I'm "flying" more with the 738. The sounds are still terrible and is the cockpit geometry correct? Also the plane just feels like when you're interacting with it there's no life to it. Anyways I didn't pay full price for it as I still had store credit left. I'll give it a few updates and see how I feel about it again. I'd rather do longer flights with the Fenix A320/738 as it's more exciting... Was looking forward to a big boy plane to fly and honestly the A310 feels like how a big heavy long hauler plane should be. Edited June 29, 20241 yr by MikeH99

I think it's important to note that a 737 and a 777 are quite different in many aspects. The PMDG 738 feels overly sensitive compared to the real one, whereas the 777 is getting closer to the real experience but still needs some adjustments. In terms of the cockpit, everything seems fine, although the ND and PFD look a bit smaller than I remember. I'm not sure what is meant by "there's no life to it." 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

Maybe I need to get to used to the FBW system. I use the Honeycomb Yoke and the 738/A310 feels fun whilst the 777 is like meh.

They have already confirmed that a statistically significant number of users are affected by it, so they are working to resolve it.

June 29, 20241 yr My 777 1st testflight around EDDF ended in frozen controls, equipment, engine sounds, screens after 20 min flight on approach to 07R. So far so bad for hotfix 2.

They laser scanned the entire thing, it cannot be not correct. And by what metric do you judge the sounds? Real world experience on the airframe? Other than being a passenger?

June 29, 20241 yr What is amazing is the fact that several high time, line certified Boeing Pilots have made Youtube videos on the 777, and raved about it , the way it looks, and it's performance. But, on the other hand, the high time paper airplanes pilot experts on Avsim, tell us how it is terrible, nothing is right about it, and they say it is NG...😉.

How typical, reminds me about all the drama about engines sounds on the LH Maddog, and recalling talking about that with a friend who used to be Captain for Meridiana, sometimes flying it 4 times per day, saying "you had to check at the engine instruments to know if engines are running, there's no way you could hear them from the cockpit" Edited June 29, 20241 yr by virtuali Umberto Colapicchioni http://www.fsdreamteam.com FSDT on Facebook
