Kyle also has a youtube video about the hardware settings.

Great choice its one of the best payware a/c you can buy.

Just a guess but Cost Index?

And some nice new planes in a few years namely the 777x. Can't wait for first flight!

Nice I like it!

I always wanted PMDG to do a 707. Fast, beautiful with 4 screaming turbojets! I'd love to hear the sound package for that one.

The Just Planes video of the Air Canada 777-200LR polar ops dvd has a great segment with the dispatcher. Its about a 1/2 hr long and he goes thru flight planning in detail. One of the best instructional videos I've seen. Obviously he's not using PFPX but the methods are quite similar.

Gregg in the FCTM sec. 3.15 there is info on reduced thrust and derates.

Check out Kyle's vids too very helpful.

Very true Jose I have learned that in PSX also! The FS 747 seems a lot different due to the platform I guess.

The 777 is a fantastic plane and PMDG modeled it beautifully. That being said the 747 was always my favorite plane. It was a completely different design than anything before and I've always had a sweet spot for it since I was a kid. Not having the new 747 I can only compare the original but energy management in the 777 seems to require more attention than the 747. If you let it, the 777 will bust constraints very easily due to the power of its engines and the fact that it seems very "slippery" Enjoy the 777!

Great book. Anyone looking to learn the FMC should buy it.

Also check the cost index.

Just watching the 772 Air Canada Polar Flight program will show just how bad HF is to listen to. I actually felt bad for the FO having to repeat and try to translate what was being transmitted. It seems impossible to give position reports.

You may have to speed intervene. Heavy a/c don't always follow restrictions, you may need to take control from the automation and apply speedbrake also. Check out Kyle's videos they're excellent.
