Hey all B77W Drivers out there. I am looking for a W&B tool for the B77W. What does every one use since TOPCAT only has B77L. I wish there was a way to add a B77w CG profile to TOPCAT. Please help..I really want to start flying this bird!

I there a way to get Nav1 to tune a different VOR from Nav2 with out going manual?

What is the proper procedure for a Nav Accuracy Check in the T7? thanks Scott Redden

I bought it through PMDG So the the next question is if I decide to repurchase it, is SE Absolutely needed or will the new purchased 600/700 ext work with old FSX

I am trying to figure out how to download the new update for the 737 6/7 extension. I bought extension and I have a order codeand an order # but when I try to download the product, it takes me to the 777 300er extension download that I bought. I looked at my previous orders and I dont see the 737-6/7 in there. I even put the order code in and PMDG did not recognize it. The ext package was bought about a yr ago. The 800 base package has been DL and works fine Robert

Sorry, I had a brain fart! I should have known that the B773 would have different weights but didn't even consider that. I just thought it was the EXACT same plane but one had ER certification and one did not.

So would a UAE B773 be 120 mins or no ER at all and a B77W be 180m?

What is the difference in T7 ETOPs between B773 & B77W. I know the W means ER, but I thought the all T7 was certified for 180 etops, out of the factory.

Yup thats what I wanted to do until the 200ER came out, IF its comes out. If the numbers are coded in to the FMS then there is no sense in changing it i just thought Id better ask before destroying this really nice plane

I have Specific info on a B777-200ER like EOW MZFW, MTOW, MLW equip etc. If I change the the Empty Weight in the CFG file to match the info i have, I will be lowering the weight. Will that screw up the FMC calculations and fuel flow parameters. what about changing the MZFW, MTOW, MLW MRMP? Im guessing that it will mess things up so Im asking before i do it. Thanks in advance!

Recently I came across a document for the T7 and it gave this bit of info on CI Eastbound cost index: 300ER (70), 200LR (62), 200E R (76). Westbound: Fly on M 0.83 with a CI 62 you will have a good mach # of .83 your whole flt. Im trying to find a CI# for a .84M. Can anyone help me? I am also looking for a CI for a full flt set Mach# for .83, .835, .840, & .845, without putting in the FMC CRZ or MCP. Any Ideas on how to figure that out? Thanks for you help.

Thats what I figured, I was just being hopeful and keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks

I'm just curious if the B772ER version is in development? I know it has been disscused that it wil be done in the future, but in the updates from Mr Randazzo, he has never mentioned anything about the B772ER. Has anyone heard anything? Please Im not trying to stir up a honets nest on this post. I am just curious what the status of it is IF the is one.

Ok right now I am flying from dfw to nrt and my latest wind check is this PFPX flight plan with online weather at wypt YQL = 306/050 actual winds at waypoint from opus 342/134 now I read that pfpx and opus get there wind data from the same source, so how could there be such a big difference. Opus is running correctly and LWE is checked along with grib forcast data and sim friendly wind targets. The weather reports are matching the flight just not the pfpx Flt plan.

so on 3.41 if im on a flt from KDFW to RKSI and do 3-4 2000ft step climbs I can force an update after my step climb to get current winds at that alt? as long as Non Sim Friendly GRIB Data is on?

Thank you I am finally starting to understand the program. On the Max Altitude, do I put the Initial altitude i will be cruising at or the Highest altitude i will step to in my flt? Yes my stabilized grib data is off.

I have been using Opus for 3 months now and every time I try to do a 3hr+ Flt, Opus produces incorrect SAT temps and Incorrect winds for me, as compared to PFPX Online weather, which uses grib data. I have read the manuals and the HELP files that came with the program . Can some one give me there settings that they use? One one flt my SAT temp was 20c deg or more off from PFPX. I can see one to five but 20c degs thats not good.

Just flew DXB-DFW real time 15:54 and then returned to dxb for 14:03 Flt! B)

How is a pilot guided laterally when using the HUD on takeoff since there is no FD?
