Loved it!

I agree. Think about how many hours you're spending in your sim. When you buy an airplane for your sim. how many hours do you fly it? Divide that with the price and it really isn't that "expensive" when you think about it. After a while you're down to less than one US dollar per hour :wink:

I think it's fairly safe to assume it will be around the base package of the 777. That's what I budget for anyway

I only heard the last one, and if I remember correctly it went for $140

Bought the 737 exp. for P3D just before it went down. Not even mad, I know what I'm getting since I own it for FSX already. I'll try again tomorrow, but thanks for the notice :wink:

Google Translate much? It doesn't make sense Steven. But if you're asking if they will also make the Dreamlifter, I haven't seen any indications, but they could always surprise us

I'd hate to inform you, that this wont be a day 1 purchase for me! :( I'm simply not home! Going to Florida tomorrow, so once I get back home on the 6th, I PROMISE I'll buy it okay?! :ph34r:

Personally I really only want the -400, -400F, -8i and -8F. But with that being said, I would buy everything they throw at us at this time anyway. As long as it has a PMDG stamp on it. Now where's my 737 BBJ?!

I'm just thinking that, if an avsim reviewer "was pleasantly surprised" and gave the 777 for FLY! II 4,5 stars, and thinking of what we have today. What will we have in another 10-12 years! Already excited! ^_^

Combined Operations Group Who we are: Combined Operations is a group of people who are passionate about flight simulation, not just FSX but combat sims as well. We don't try to act like a "mini air force" or emulate a "real airline". Instead we're a group of friends that like to fly the best we can, in whichever aircraft we happen to be flying. That means doing it right, without ever losing focus on the main thing that drives us all to play simulators - fun. We have amongst our members some very experienced members who can help you with pretty much anything in FSX, DCS or BMS, including a commercial pilot. We regularly fly on VATSIM, and take part in online combat events too. Our forum currently has about 40 members, and we run our own teamspeak along with a custom Virtual Airline system that tracks members flights and gives you a lot of info back on how well you have flown. There are hundreds of ready made routes to choose from, as well as regular multiplayer events where you can test your skills against other pilots. We're looking to expand, and if you're the type of simmer who wants to make the most of your flying, whilst engaging in friendly banter then we might be right for you. Come and say hello on our forums, we hope you'll want to join in and help grow our group. Come visit us at: www.combined-ops-group.com

Haha nice! Good luck with that Luke.

Just because a hundred others have said so, doesn't make it more true. It's still nonsense no matter how many replies you've read in topics like these :wink:

Hey guys. I'm doing a flight from FSIA to OMDB in the NGX, and maybe about 30 min. after passing the Equator from South to North suddenly the airplane started turning to the left away from my track. LNAV was still engaged. I switched to HDG to get it back in track and once again engaged LNAV. Seemed to work, but 5 min. after passing the next waypoint it did a 90 degree left turn for some reason. I haven't touched the IRS's, but the FMC is saying: Scanning DME Fail. But that shouldn't really make the airplane do 360 degree turns or fly 90 degree away from track.. I have been flying in the NGX for hundreds of hours now and this is a first.. It's not that S-turn thing. I have had that issue as well long time ago, and this didn't look like it was that.

EDDP (Leipzig-Halle) - LIME (Bergamo) - VHHH (No need to tell you haha)

Haha I know right! We know from the NGX release that it was getting very close once they started posting pictures. It's not like they're just holding it back now until they've shown all the liveries that ships with the release! Ohh I know this wont make it go away! Sadly :lol: And just to make it perfectly clear! I have absolutely no problem with anyone using fictional liveries! Many of them are quite well done and beautiful! All I'm saying is stop screaming like teenage girls, ready for a Bieber concert! You'll get your favorite soon enough! (And PLEASE PMDG... Make that BA livery and make me look like an idiot now! That would be awesome! Thx!) B)

I don't care if PMDG makes fictionals to be honest. I'm fine with it. I just don't see them doing it (except that ONE British Airways). There will be hundreds of real and fictionals on the avsim library anyway, so I just don't see why they should bother with anything else than the real ones. That's why it's getting a little stupid to look at the comments on facebook. Facebook: "RELEASE!" "RELEASE!" "I want THAT livery!" "RELEASE!" "RELEASE!" "RELEASE!" "I want THAT livery!" "RELEASE!" "RELEASE!" "relax guys.." "RELEASE!" "I want THAT livery!" :lol:

Exactly, why I'm 100% sure there will be plenty! of fictional liveries when they release the paintkit! So I don't see why they should bother with creating them. Because if just make one fictional, then 2000 guys will be complaining why they aren't making their favorite livery!

Thank you, to you as well

Why do so many of you keep begging for fictional liveries ?? Tell me WHY that PMDG should create a bunch of fictional liveries for the 777LR ? All I see on these forums and on their facebook page is a whole lot of guys begging to see a BA livery! WHY?! Out of all the official PMDG liveries for the NGX I only see one fictional, and that's the BA. They created that because they like BA Virtual and because BA doesn't have NG's! Well.. BA only operate 200ER's and 300ER so I'm very confident PMDG will create liveries for those when they release those. I'm sure that when ever they release the paintkit, someone will create a fictional livery for nearly all operators of the 777! I understand that you would REALLY love to see your favourite airline be painted on the LR, but I really don't see that happen from an official paint, unless it's a real LR operator. In case PMDG actually does create some fictional liveries for the LR, and make me look like an idiot for posting this, then I don't care. All I'm saying is, it's getting VERY tiring to read "Give me this livery" "I want this" and so on. There are some very talented painters out there that can create all the fictional liveries you could ever wish to see!

Yes please! I want i 7X NOOOW :lol:

So I just came to think of Polar flying. I remember that Ryan talked about how they didn't implement that kind of navigation into the systems (or what was it actually?) in the NGX since there's only a very few NG's flying in that region anyway. And of course I had to try it out my self flying over the true north pole and the NGX can't figure out anything from that point Anyway, Air Canada flies it's LR over the north pole from Toronto to Hong Kong (as the Just Planes DVD show). Not directly over it all of the time, but sometimes they will. How will the PMDG 777-200LR handle that kind of operations?

GREAT! B) I was having a little trouble slowing down on approach and final a few nights back. So I called for the landing checklist rather late and only just completed the checklist before minimums. It was like: Landing checklist complete, minimums! landing!!

I haven't used the 2D cockpit at all in the NGX. TrackIR helps a lot though for easy looking around while in the VC. The hatswitch is rather slow and inaccurate. But if you don't want to spend money on the TrackIR because it is expensive, you should consider EZdok Camera for use in the Virtual Cockpit. You can create, or import, camera views within the VC. You just assign that 1 will be the main view, 2 will be MCP, 3 FMC, 4 Radio stack and so on or what ever you desire. But all still in the VC. The only thing I use are the display popups when I fly manually for a more accurate display of the flight director. I then re-position the PFD to the lower middle of my screen, so I'm still able to look out the windows, and then the ND to the right of it when it's in APP. That's about as much I use it, and I'm happy that they continue to make the display popups. I understand why 2D is attractive to some, but with TrackIR and Ezdok Camera, or even just EZdok, I don't understand why anyone wouldn't use the VC, unless it's for home builds or a Commodore 64 ^_^

Great news! Good update and gorgeous images! Right now I'm rapidly closing in on 56N40W on my way from Moscow to JFK. I decided to do a non-scheduled flight and departed at 2:13am my local time, to move the virtual me (yes I know.. Forever alone!) to Seattle, to be close by for when I have to do a delivery flight for Emirates to Dubai. Ohh yes, did I mention already, that I am forever alone?! Riiiight... SO! Hmm let's see, arrival in JFK at 1058z or 1158 am my local, so still plenty of time to drool over the pictures! But don't worry. 3/15 was World Sleep Day, so I got up at 2p. I'm excused for the wierd hours! :rolleyes:

Hehe Luke. Not necessarily I myself have an account on both http://flightdiary.net/ and http://www.flightmemory.com/ to keep track. Flightdiary has a much better looking map, but lacks a lot of smaller airports. Flightmemory has a very bad looking map, but I still haven't been to a place that wasn't in their database. B) And no 777 flights for me yet! :cray:
