September 4, 20241 yr I've had the FF 772 since mid May and it was the first FF product I bought. I too run both XP12 and MSFS and I try to avoid having the same aircraft in both! Therefore I don't have the PMDG777 to compare with directly . In XP12 I have the Toliss 319 and 340, FlyJSim Q4XP, Felis 742, and in MSFS I have the PMDG 737-600 and 737-800, the Fenix A320, Just Flight 146 and the TDFi MD11. In XP11 the FlyJSim 727 and 737-200 I personally I find that some of these addons have a great 'feel' about them. I can't explain what it is but they do! Sometimes I just want to load them up and flick some switches (sad I know!). I would definitely put the FF772 into this category as I also do the Felis 742, FJS 732 and also the two PMDGs in MSFS. There is so much to explore including the full walk around, all the maintenance menus, and also the (i believe) very comprehensive 777 EFB. On top of that all the switches and knobs animate very nicely and the sounds are awesome (compared to the other aircraft I own.) As I said, I don't have the PMDG777, but from a more black and white perspective I have read that the sounds aren't that great. If they aren't then maybe a sound pack is required and that plus the cost of the PMDG 777 may well be close to the cost of the FF version anyway?? Hope this helps with your decision!
