I do not have any scenery installed exept for AFCAD files to correct airport layouts, and FSX general scenery and texture quality setting are about 30-40 % which I am happy with. I see the same results in the 777 as in the NGX without any reduced textures sizes (the two are very similar in system load), but since I can't reduce them for the 777 there will be a missing link to achieve the smoothness I have within the NGX. Anyhow, I'll wait and see if a future update will include the option. Simon Larsson

I have done everything I can to reduce load on my system, among that the options you are referring to. I was looking for the possibility to turn down the texture size since that gave me a lot of smoothness with the NGX, without - in my opinion - any noticable loss of texture quality. Simon Larsson

Good morning, I was wondering if there will be any kind of performance manager that will let me reduce the virtual cockpit textures in a way similar to what I was able to do with the 737 NGX? I remember there were some discussions about it earlier after the 777 released. I have searched the forum but wasn't able to find any information. Simon Larsson

Good morning Andre, I had the same problem but it got solved after a complete reinstall of the 777 + SP1. Simon Larsson

I really do hope that a small part of the bunch of more functionality means an included derate calculator! Simon Larsson

Hi, I also have some problems when using the AT to maintain a selected speed. Today I was just flying around the NY area with a speed on the MCP of 159 kts. The AT did never manage to get to that speed, either it was stable at 170+ and sometimes it dropped down to about 140 and stayed there for a while, and the throttles did not advance to pick up the speed again. The wind was pre set and stable at indicated value on the ND. I have Saitek Yoke and throttles configured internal in FSX, and my problem remained even when I disconnected the throttles from the computer. What could be the problem here? Simon Larsson

Let us hope they do!

zoran, I have found this information, the question was wether I could adjust the resolution of the textures with a tool similar to that I could do in the NGX. But I guess it is not possible.

Hi Xsocto19, I just don't know if I'm getting blind, but I really can't find it It is there fore the NGX, but not for the 777.

I have searched the forum without getting an answear to the question if there is a performance manager like the one we got with the NGX? With the possibility to lower display and overall texture resolution? Simon Larsson

Hi Morten, this sounds great, I have also planned to go to Frankfurt and try their MD11 simulator, let us know how everything went. The only thing I can add to this, which comes from my MD80 simulator ride in Copenhagen a few years ago, flying from Gothenburg to Copenhagen in the sim. After flying the Maddog inside FS2004 lots of hours I was pretty confident in the systems etc. The only thing that took some time to get used to is the new perspective of things, where the switches are in relation to where you sit in your chair. That you actually have to turn your head to find what you are looking for, as over the years inside FS this is ofcourse something we're not doing. Next time I go for a simulatorsession I would like to sit in the seat for a while to get acquainted with the new environment before the session is started. Just my two cents Best regards and good luck! Simon Larsson

Hi Kenny, thank you for your reply, is this true for the MD11 only or does it apply also to the 737NG?

Hi all! My question is regarding packs on/packs off takeoff. When I choose packs to be on during takeoff via the FMC takeoff page, I get a higher N1 value than if I had chosen a packs off takeoff mode. I'm somewhat confused since I thought that when using packs on the engines would produce less power causing the lower N1 value. TOPCAT gives me lower N1 when choosing packs to be on during takeoff, which is what I also expect, but not the simulation itself. Is there anyone who could throw some light on this? Thanks in advance! Simon Larsson

Thank you very much Kerry! That would be great, really looking forward to it!

Hi Kerry,They look great! Any chance that you will produce a livery in Scandinavian Airlines colours?Simon Larsson
