miami747

I have a 4 year old system i7-930 and the 777 works great for me. I have done 15hr+ long haul in real time from one big airport to another multiple times with no issues. I was very surprised. With the 744X and NGX I have had some crashes here and there. Not many, but a few. The 777 I have yet to get one. It is my favorite airplane to fly. If you upgrade your system is it a must by, as simple as that.

Perfect airplane in good weather? Yes. Many of us could be put into a level-D sim right now and would have a landing where everyone would survive, even handling the plane by hand. Serious issues with the airplane? Engine failure etc..? Hope I am not the only one that can help because then we got even bigger problems.

I think My Traffic might be best for you. It will more easily fill up your skies and it has a better variety in GA aircraft than UT2 and it will perform better too. If realistic schedules and nice airliners is not your priority then My Traffic is the way to go. Also UT2 has very little Cargo traffic and zero military traffic.

Take traffic 360 off your list. Don't even think about buying it. There are two AI addons and then the rest. UT2 and MyTraffic. I actually have both as MYTraffic has a lot more airlines but the schedules are very unrealistic as UT2 has most of the major airlines with very realistic schedules and better models. If you just care about the major airlines, for example doing most of your flying out of big airports in U.S., Canada and Western Europe than UT2 is a good. If you want random charter airlines, airlines from Africa and just want your skies to be filled with not a huge amount of FPS impact with ok models then MyTraffic is good. The both together using the MyTraffic UT2 schedule so I don't have interlacing airlines is very good.

Very cool report. It brings up that question which pops up a few times a year. You fly the PMDG NGX or 777 20 hours a month using real world weather and Airline SOP. Could you fly a real one? Well a Level-D sim is pretty much a real one, no pressure with real lives and no pressure with your own life but I honestly think many of us would be capable of flying one of these things. Really cool reading about it. I have a friend who works for Delta in Atlanta, he told me next time I am in Atlanta and have some free time he might be able to get me in a 777 sim. I would love that! Need to try to make some time to get to Atlanta.

Happens every flight but I figured the 777 waits till the nose touches to give reverse.

The Philadelphia one is fantastic. Ants Australia is good too. Not sure where it is, I think on flightsim but the main airport in Mauritius, ICAO: FIMP is really good too. Just flew there, one of the runways has a challenging approach too. Nice scenery for the whole island.

Just had the same issue. Lets see if the renaming thing works for me. Well I changed it to .off and now I have zero sounds inside the cockpit no clicks or anything. trying bak now. Same thing happened.

I had no issues before either. All I had to do was request wind data, all of a sudde now after three weeks of no issues the FMC says "invalid request"

As long as glaring holes are fixed it is a good addon such as gear horn or at the very least a seatbelt sign. They put in a seatbelt sound. It is a shame that many bugs will remain though. From two real world 1900D pilots on the forums it seems like they have a fantastic base which they could make into something really special for the FS world. They already have a good idea what needs to be fixed for free on these forums.

The 1900D is and has been one of my all time favorite airplanes since I was 12 years old. It is very hard for me to not purchase this plane. From the reviews it seems that it flys well but a decent amount of realistic simulations are missing including things as simple as the seatbelt sign and gear horn silence. I have never purchased a Carenado product before. I am not expecting PMDG or Majestic here but do they at least usually give a service pack or two to fix some of the more obvious issues? Or will it be what you get it what you get from initial release? Trying my best not to purchase just yet.

I hope they see this and take your info and make the proper fixes. Maybe not to every single little thing but there seem to be some glaring holes in the airplane like the Seatbelt sign and gear horn silence. How they could miss this I have no clue but as long as it is fixed in a decent amount of time it is not a huge deal. Great input from a real B1900 driver. When I was younger and thinking about being an airline pilot one day the 1900 was always one of my favorite planes for the main reason I though the idea of flying around Florida and the Bahamas in one as a first job would be awesome. I am not sure if I am going to purchase it with these issues. Just hope they fix some of the major missing pieces. But your comment of it being almost Majestic level is a big seller. Just hope they can get there because this would be a major seller and a big move for the brand.

Well sadly back in MIA, her home base. I have an easier semester with my last year of grad school so I may take her out on some weekend flights. Starting December 16th with the 777 I flew these flights with zero issues on my 3 year old system all in real time: MIA-LAX 5hr LAX-AKL- 12:30hr AKL-HKG 10hr HKG-IAD 14:30hr SEA-SIN 16:14hr HKG-HNL 8:30hr HNL-HKG 10hr HKG-LOS 14hr LOS-LNU 3hr LNU-CPT 2:40hr CPT-JNB: 1hr JNB-MRU: 3:30hr MRU-JNB: 3:30hr JNB-MIA: 15hr What a plane. I said this for the NGX and I will now say it for the 777 after all those flights. Best addon every produced for Flight Simulator. Excited to get the 300ER and of course the 747 remake. If only PMDG could make every airliner ever made!

In the past 10 days I have flow all in real time: MIA-LAX-AKL-HKG-IAD SEA-SIN. SEA-SIN was 16hr and 14mins with the headwinds. Didnt even need to fill her up even with a full load! Pretty awesome flying 16hrs, no issues what so ever so far. I have planned for the next two weeks: SIN-HKG-HNL-HKG-BCN-LHR-JNB-FIMP-JNB-MIA If I finish these flights without any computer issues I am going to have to write a letter to PMDG. So I'm short my 777 is sitting in SIN getting ready to go to HKG in the next two days for the shortest 777 flight I would have done so far.

Assuming the aircraft had an overnight stay at the airport it would be the Long Turnaround state IMO. Pilots will almost never find a cold and dark. That is usually what Maintenece crews deal with. Planes like the 777 do t have much down time unless in for Maintenece and they are the ones who taxi/tow the plane to and from the gate for maintence. They would leave it fairly ready to go with the battery on, GPU hooked up for the next flight.
