PMDG 777 Classes

Featured Replies

When enterting the number of PAX in the PMDG 777, it shows

12 First Class
42 Business Class
316 Economy Class

I’m confused about this, as it doesn’t match up with reality as far as I can tell. By my count there is:

40 First Class
24 Business Class
the rest economy

Anyone have any more info on this discrepancy?

Seating is airline specific. This will give you an idea.

In the PMDG it doesn't really matter as the aircraft is just interested in the ZFW. How pax and cargo are allocated makes no difference at all.

turns out it's kind of a bug. because it is just leftover code from when they ported it from p3d and the cabin did indeed have this layout. they did not update the FMS to reflect the actual seating arrangements in MSFS2020, which is surprisng since this was one of the first things I noticed when firing up the trip 7 for the first time

40 first class seats?? :ohmy:

Sounds like OP has a very specific "Reality"...

Probably confusing 1st w/business class.

Most I've seen only have around 8 1st.

Edit: After seeing the OP also posted this same thing in the MS forums, he CLEARLY has 1st class confused with business class, as planes that only have Economy/Premium Economy and what is clearly a Business Class are being shown.

This confusion also make sense, since there is never more of a higher class than of a lower class afaik.

ok, call it whatever you want. the super nice lay-flat pod seats in the front of the plane. there are 40 of them. then the next class of seats, whatever you want to call it (premium economy) there are 24, then the rest are normal economy. 

it's irrelevant really, because the point is the actual seating configuration in the plane and the programmed configuration in the FMS are nowhere close to matching

the lay-flat pod seats in the very front of the plane. there are 40 of them. some airlines call that first class, some call it business class. you can call it whatever you want, but they're the expensive ones 😉
