I was expecting the LR to be $35-$40.

I think it must be w/ the birthday discount, but never got that far as I was struck w/ the diff in cost LR/ER.  Just checked, yes discount at checkout so cost is $35.99

    I'm a sucker for a pretty face 🙂 (@St Mawgan definitely my only 777 - nothing else required! 🙂 ) tagging @Christopher Low as I think he might still be in the market for a big Boeing at

  • Just depend your level of realism: If you don't care about realism, just get the 777-200LR as Luis Hernandez said. It's the cheapest, same quality of the other 777. I'm sure you will find fiction

Has anyone tried re-installing 737 NG (in 2020) from OC3?

Well, since I have the 777-200ER / 300ER, I guess I have no choice but to pick up the 200F & 200LR. My wallet will thank me later.

Cheers, Pete

For those that have it, what are the frame rates like?  Comparable to Fenix would be alright for me.  Also, are the sounds alright?  That's a big part of it for me.

Can't say about the 777, I'll purchase it later. But I felt the 737NG lighter in FPS than the Fenix or any Ini bus.

They're somewhat higher than the Fenix. The PMDG add-ons are highly optimized presumably because they are built to run on Xbox. Sounds seem fine to me, but I'm an old guy so my audio range is limited at best. In any case, an update is coming with a newly massaged sound set, but a release date hasn't been provided.

Hope this helps.

I did it right after the 77F install. No issues, but as I was flying in 2024 I didn’t test the 737 (still have to copy/paste it over from 2020 and see what’s up. RR said it’s exactly the same version, so fingers crossed)

Performance is very good! consider I have a gtx 1080 8g and i7-7700. I'm very happy! 

I'm unsure between 200er (more classic) or 300er (maybr newer in avionics?), I already have the frighter. 

What do you suggest?

I've just removed and re-installed the 737 with OC3 and it all worked fine 🙂

I personally like the bragging rights conferred by the -200LR: world record longest non-stop commercial flight. 
(That’s also why I like flying the 737-700 BBJ1: 6500nm range 😁) .

it’s also IRL newer than the 200ER. 

AFAICT, the only thing you really get with the 300ER is an increased risk of a tail strike and somewhat fewer airports from which to operate. 😂

Ah, thanks! But what do you mean for IRL newer than 200ER?

 Boeing 777-200LR is newer than the 777-200ER. The 777-200LR, often referred to as the "Longer Range" version, was introduced in 2006, while the 777-200ER, or "Extended Range" version, was introduced earlier in 1997.

Yes, infact. I was looking for something a bit more "classic" 737NG style. So could 200ER be near to 737NG?

Too bad the 737 is not ready for MSFS 2024 😞

Many thanks mate. I have the 200 and did not really needed the 300 but I'll take this oppurtunity to get it. Sales by PMDG are very rare indeed...
