I guess people will buy the -200 just to use a 777 in 2024 right now now now .. if they updated the -300 that people already own, I would imagine there'd be a sizable number of people who'd not buy the -200. 

 

The current version of the 777-300ER and 777F work in MSFS 2024 to a certain extent. Of course, it depends on workarounds such as not being able to load from the gate, having to always load from the runway with the engines running, then teleport to a gate using GSX menu and only then being able to start pre-flight preparations. You also can't use workaround mode otherwise it will bug the aircraft and you may also need to delete the 777's WASM folder between flights.

But apart from these issues, everything else works just fine. I've already done 7 successful flights with the 777-300ER in MSFS 2024 without any hiccups.

For me, a person who already has the 300ER has to be extremely impatient to buy the 200ER just to be able to fly a fully functional 777 in MSFS 2024 during the one month period it will take until the 300ER compatibility update comes out, while during that one month period, they could be flying the 300ER in MSFS 2024 using relatively simple workarounds.

For me, even if the -300ER (which I have bought already) came out for 2024 first, I’d still buy the -200ER.  It’s the same family as the -300ER but not the same plane…different engines, different size, different operators etc.  buying the -200ER isn’t just about being impatient.

Silly question.  Can someone on the latest -300ER build in 2020 check if they have a co-pilot side windshield wiper please?

Departed KEWR in the rain and my side was fine but co-pilot I heard the wiper but didn't see one...  

Can anyone else confirm for me please?  -Thank you

My copilot wiper works. In 2020 to be clear,

TY sir, that's weird!!  Must have been that thump I heard on my last flight 😉

My will power is already diminishing for the -200 LOL  Just watching the live stream and it looks great in '24...   

It doesn't have all the animation bells and whistles of the 350 but looks like a darn solid first offering for 24 and the landing gear bogies work!  Interested to see how they price it as they must know a lot of -300 owners are sitting on their wallets for the free -300 update.  Do you use Hopie?  

If things copy over per our offline conversation this could be my '24 "test platform" although now I am already loving Chaseplane as well so eager to see that migrate over too. 

@Fielder posted this in another thread and when you have so many things mapped it would be a huge help for me.

I could be misremembering, but I don't think they've ever announced the price before release for any of their recent products.

At the very least I remember the 300ER's price wasn't known until it released.

Price will be told on release like always. 

Sweet, my WingWing 777 FMS just arrived yesterday, hopefully they’ll roll out support for the -200ER soon.

The 300 was $77.73

the 200 will probably be 77.72 lol

Same price as the P3D addon back in their time.
