Not yet, and I'm not keeping my hopes up unfortunately.

That's exactly my experience... the P3D version had a very - IMHO - strange feel and I wasn't the only one bringing it up back in the day. It was nearly impossible to trim the aircraft correctly "by feel" without resorting to the speed trim indicator, and even then it felt weird (as in unstable). In the MSFS version of the 300ER (which is the only variant I own) the pitch felt even worse, regardless of whether I'm using my Honeycomb Alpha or an Xbox controller. I am very interested in trying the fine-tuned version that many are reporting here in the 200ER but won't pay 77 dollars to find out... I'd rather wait until PMDG backport these improvements into the 300ER. If you fly the 200ER by FlightFactor you'd notice the difference in a heartbeat. (I'm not rated in the 777... I've only been in a 200ER level D simulator)

Yes, I enabled it on the EFB. I think it is almost at the same level than the Fenix... and by almost I mean there only are a few minor "manual" things to adjust in the A350 compared to the Fenix. IMO, the prize of best out-of-the-box integration with GSX in MSFS still belongs to the FSLabs A321CEO.

Hi, I don't think the system's logic is "lacking", I just said it's the same system's logic than in their P3D version. When you mention PMDG did a "remodel" of the handling, do you mean this is for 200ER compared to the 300ER? If so: Is this for MSFS2024 only? and if so... do you know if will it be "backported" to the 300ER?. Thanks for the information!

I’m going to pass for a few reasons: the 300ER in MSFS2020 is very nice from a modeling point of view, but it hand-flies worse than their P3D version… and that’s saying something. There are many of us who complained about this for years regarding the “feel” of flight in their FBW implementation. I’m not getting burned $77.72 again for a remodeled 200ER (still waiting for that improved VC) with the same system logic than their P3D version. As problematic as their A350 was, the inibuilds in the latest version is really good and has nice immersion features, not to mention proper gsx integration, which PMDG continues to deny (yet you are unable to pushback in their own tablet?! Still!?!). Sorry, but if I want a 200ER I’ll scratch my itch in FlightFactor’s 777v2 in XP12 which hand-flies great, has great system depth, sounds great and provides more immersion out of the box (I know their still at “beta” regarding VNAV). PMDG has to improve their game if they want to keep charging those prices. Learnt my lesson with the 300ER which I shouldn’t have bought due to their 200ER money-grab from P3D.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic in your reply, but in any case all that was needed was to check on the PFD that HOLD mode was on and to understand from it that the servos weren’t going to “wake up” the throttles… much less provide any stall protection that the other A/T modes have. No need to keep eyes glued to the PFD. All part of the regular quick scan done in every approach by crews workdwide. Investigations concluded human error in many levels: lack of understanding the system, lack of proper CRM, failure of training in such scenarios.

That was human error for failing to understand 777 A/T modes. Search online for the FLCH trap.

An updatable GTN 750 in XP is fantastic news! The CJ looks great too! Thanks, Ryan

Looks very nice. Too bad about the lack of runway lights. It's odd they have taxi lights that can be seen from space, but on a snowy day everything is off.

I am far from a PMDG apologist, but I don't think such remark is accurate. Nuemann responds to Microsoft. PMDG in this particular case is collateral in the bigger scale of things. As big as PMDG's influence on the "serious" simmer/hobby and the entire FS ecosystem might be, to Microsoft/Asobo that is irrelevant (as to delay the launch of a product such as MSFS 2024) regardless of how good their relationship might be.

Thanks! I didn't know that. This is something I'd love to have, as it will make a big difference. It's unfortunate they don't prioritize things like this. I'd rather have a working and improved atmospheric model than 100+ default aircraft at launch date.

didn't know it was currently disabled, are you sure about that?... if so, that might improve things whenever they enable that.

I also fly gliders but lack the years of experience that @jcomm has. To me, FS2024 is a step backwards wrt FS2020. I have been unable to do thermaling, but ridge soaring was worse. Maybe I was unlucky in the few flights I've been able to make so far. XP12 is not much better in gliders either, so no reason to compare. Fortunately there's always Condorsoaring to scratch the itch...

Mixed feelings, leaning towards the negative, sadly. - Career mode is buggy, very buggy. Be prepared to get hit by an "unexpected error" that will wipe all your progress. Also, private and commercial exams can hit a bug during the interaction with ATC where it won't let you continue and you have to start over. - GUI is awful. I thought 2020 GUI was bad already, but somehow ASOBO managed to make it worse. Cameras and controls assignment is painful. - Flight dynamics... where to start? I've tried both a Glider and the C172. I wasn't expecting to experience Condorsoaring 3 fidelity in the glider, but it felt really lifeless. The C172... It feels completely twitchy compared to the very same alpha version we tried a month or so ago. I don't know what happened there. Good sides: I like the clouds and the graphics in general... but atmosphere colors / lightning, for example is an aspect where I think they also "tweaked" something for the worse compared to the alpha I tested. It feels rushed... don't think I'll bother again until at least 2 sim updates are available.

I am in the same boat... I don't know how I can possibly go back to ANY other sim. This is SO good looking. And so far, flying the 172 has been really nice. You can feel the inertia and the ground physics are very much improved. MSFS 2024 is shaping up VERY nicely. And to think this is an ALPHA is crazy!!!
