Where the 777 is different to the 787 its similar to my previous aircraft the 747, so everything is very familiar. interesting that blackbox which you quoted above also mentions the rotation, yes it feels very authentic on rotation and initial climb out.

I’ve not really sat and analysed the sounds, but nothing has jumped out at me so far as sounding off. I've not flown the 777 in the real world ( yet) so wouldn’t be able to make an authoritative judgement. I’m only ever inside the cockpit in VR so there isn’t a great deal of engine noise in real jet cockpits anyway. I’ve not listened to the engines from the outside view. All the other dings and bongs on the flight deck sound good to me on the new -200. These will be identical to the 787 and 747 so I can speak with experience on those ones. 787 captain.

May 4, 20251 yr Another delightful flight! In my humble unprofessional opinion 777-200 is one of the best PMDG aircraft I ever own.

I suggest that you temporarily defer the evaluation of sounds for both the B777-200ER and 300ER. The engine sounds will be replaced with "entirely new recordings over the coming two months". This was announced in the post of the B777-200ER release. zachlog
May 4, 20251 yr Does anyone know how to deploy the thrust reversers after landing? Twice now I've landed and not been able to get the reversers deployed. Luckily the brakes are quite good and the runways been quite long so it hasn't caused an issue! I've got the Thrustmaster TCA stick (and quadrant but I've disabled it as the detents don't really work for Boeings). I've binded a key to the Hold Reverse Thrust action but it doesn't seem to work. Also, does the AT disengage itself on landing after it's idled the thrust or do you have to do that manually? I've got so used to Airbus systems and logic that there's a few Boeing-isms that are catching me out!

I've got so used to Airbus systems and logic that there's a few Boeing-isms that are catching me out! When you hold the key you assigned to "Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust", make sure you pull throtlle all the way off before holding that key down, . otherwise it won't engage. Then increase your throttle for desired level of reverse and continue to hold the key down as long as you want the reverse thrust. When you release the key, it will go back to normal thrust. I use the trigger key on my joystick to engage this function, makes it easy to grab when landing. Edited May 4, 20251 yr by Bobsk8

May 4, 20251 yr Love the 772! Very happy with it. But what I can’t figure out are why my flap sounds different than all the influencers that posted videos of them leading up to release. (My engines do too but I assume that’s because they are still working on them?)
