Something what we miss a lot nowadays with almost everything early acces and a lot of annoying bugs. I'm with you on this one... Enjoying and tasting it as much as I'm able to given the lack of dpare time I have for simming these days ...

Add me to the list! 777 is the smoothest PMDG airliner released up to date. Absolute joy to fly! Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

July 12, 20241 yr I have to say that the engine sounds in the flight deck in the latest 777 update are, pretty good.

Is "bug" the correct word to use to describe the placement of cockpit displays? Just for giggles, I went onto airliners.net and looked at various photos of B777 flight decks...in some photos, there are indeed differential gaps in the displays. Regardless, if this depiction is considered an aesthetic "downside" of the PMDG representation of the B777, it certainly does not affect the simulated (software) performance of the aircraft, IMHO. I'm pleased with the initial release and the prompt follow up with 2 "patches" following a successful release.
July 12, 20241 yr Nobody was saying it was a bad plane. I was just pointing out both sides should be the same. Just a minor texture issue. It would be nice if both sides were the same like in real life and they could have updated it.😐
July 12, 20241 yr Flying right now down from KPAE to KSFO and the sound in VC is much better but the wind is like i am diving in a parachute 🙂 Could be like real but again i am not sure as it sound like a storm on my roof 🙂 Michael Moe Edited July 12, 20241 yr by Michael Moe Michael Moe

A love you Avsim! 😍 i actually think this topic has its place until next update if we just keep on course with it. Subjective input is welcome as this is not a bug forum thread.

Had a look myself, and yes, on some aircraft the gaps are the same, on some aircraft one gap is wider than the one on the other side and on some one gap is wider at the bottom than at the top... There are also differently sized gaps between other parts of the cockpit, not just the displays. PMDG's 777 having differently sized gaps makes sense if they had a 777 survey aircraft that happens to have different gaps since they laser scan the cockpit and the instruments including the gaps are part of the 3D-model built from the laser scan. I guess what @Bobsk8 was trying to say before the whole town jumped on him is that gaps can differ due to the work being done to built the panel and units, assemble them and even replacing units later on, wearing parts down. Kind of a major fail to jump on him given it appears he's actually right... One example: Edited July 12, 20241 yr by threexgreen

But, can't argue with the experts on this forum..😉

July 12, 20241 yr Great update but VNAV / Levelchange needs improvement . BDEGA4 KSFO via MLBEC was a challenge as i had to use V/S alot . I am still fuss about the speed so you would eventually program the FMC to slow down or use the SPD your self with the MCP. Michael Moe Michael Moe

July 12, 20241 yr @Bobsk8 Bob you've got a good lesson. Let LOL_flyers find the news themselves. Edited July 12, 20241 yr by Vitold69
July 12, 20241 yr I was wondering to my own post regarding VNAV/LVLCH and so on if low FPS could cause issues ? I am stil on VSYNC 25 FPS 4K ULTRA but looking forward to that I9-15900K with a RTX5090 , DDR5 ,6400 and M2 SSD 14GBIT/S 🙂 Michael Moe Michael Moe
