Probably the Best 777, Interview by BlackBox 711...

Featured Replies

Probably the Best 777 (*) presently available for the various desktop/console/smartphone platforms, in an interview to head of devlopment by probably my preferred youtuber & rw pilot (now retired from RL flying):

FlightFactor Interview with news on B777-200LR, B787 Dreamliner and A350

(*) I have 777s in 3 of my desktop flight simulation platforms, P3D, Aerofly FS 4 and MSFS 2024, but haven't yet cross the fence for this FF 777...

It is in first place in my to-buy for already available aircraft for Xp12, but a bit expensive, so... maybe this interview does something about the deadlock :-)

Some details:

.) FF 777 uses X-Plane Flight Dynamics (no exterior model) alhough it externally model engines and drag ( whatever that means because I think drag IS FM...);

.) FBW is custom made;

.) 777 LR variants will come soon;

.) Still many things to fine tune in the FMC code;

.) MEL is a continued work and will get further detail, and be as close to being finished as possible. Around 300 new failures have been added, making around 60% of the full MEL implemented !!!

.) Replay system still being worked. Presently the electronic instruments do not correctly replay, and Replay is closely related to the implementation of "Shared Cockpit";

.) Shared Cockpit is still WIP, but they want to make it right & great !

.) EFB looks clumsy... A different version, optimized, and a Tablet for FF aircraft is in the plans too;

.) 787 PROJECT: Avionics are "done";

.) Most generic systems benefit from experience with the 777, but there are many differences / nuances...

.) There's also the A350 (partnered with GlidingWiki i guess...);

I have all of Flight Factors Boeing works but stay on the fence about the T7 because by cracky I’m just not much for long haul and that’s the corral this horse was built for. If only it came with a leap ahead to way point feature like the Tollis has I’d jump in quicker then a June bug on a cow pie.

Plenty of shorter routes on the 777F and 777W 2-3 hours duration, mostly the middle and far east.

ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

X-Plane 12 and MSFS2020  🙂

System specs: Windows 11  Pro 64-bit, Ubuntu Linux 20.04 i7-13700KF  Gigabyte Z790 RTX-4060-Ti , 32GB RAM  1X 2TB M2 for X-Plane 12,  1x256GB SSD for OS. 1TB drive MSFS2020

TO N1 never matches the realworld data, outdated Normal checklist, Wrong turn on LOC capture, GPWS on stable final, late RA callout.... well, it's "not too much issue" on numbers but still very annoying for a normal A-B flight.

And don't let me start on the EICAS and NNC ECL logic... it's so painful to do even a simple engine failure drill, let along other "more than thousands of failure available"... PMDGT7 in P3D makes more scene on that.
