Yesterday a new Windows update came out.. I installed it.. Then I flew a flight and the performance was horrible.. I then decided to do a system restore back to the point before I installed the windows update.. I flew another flight and it was smooth as silk.. There is not doubt in my mind that the windows update caused the problem..

Does track IR hurt framerates for any of you that use it ???

Dont be hitting trees....

I read somewhere where PMDG suggest you shut down FSX after a flight before starting a new flight and start over.. This will help with the "running out of memory problems" some people are having...

WOW.. What's with the bumpy landing ? Blow the nose gear tire or something ??? I have yet to have a landing half that bumpy.. I did not see much of a freeze either.. Maybe a little stutter but thats not a big deal..

I love it.. I will be using the PMDG 777 for a long, long time.. Its the one plane that I always wanted PMDG to make for FS.. I flew from Miami to LAX last night and the arrival into LAX was awesome.. I went LAND 3 just to test it out and she was smooth as silk.. I have a great system but not near as good as some of you and the 777 runs smooth.. Im getting 40-60 FPS in the air and 20-30 on the ground.. I have a Alienware Aurora that is now 4 years old.. Windows 7 (64) i7 @ 2.60 with 4 cores.. 6 GB RAM and a ATI Radeon 5700 video card.. I love the flying part of FSX and do not use any scenery add ons.. I keep it pretty simple.. I use Ultimate Traffic at 20%.. I use Active Sky..

I use Norton and my 3 year old computer runs like it is brand new. I think the world of Norton and nothing seems to get past it.. Nothing.. It is expensive though.. I did not realize you could get better protection for free.. Somebody point me in the right direction please..

The PMDG 777 is not worth 90 bucks.. Its worth 180.. I will spend years inside this simulation.. YEARS.. Worth every penny.. Awesome JOB PMDG.. Just wish I could fly her some, spending most of my time reading all the information that came with her.. I did get a short flight in though.. I'm blown away !!!

Worked the ramp at FDX for many years.. I saw our pilots climb into a C&D cockpit many times..

Awesome

I don't mind them not releasing it.. That's up to them.. But not to give a price yet is a little strange.. They have not decided on a price yet ? Really ?

I'm not sure they should announce when it will be released.. Why overwhelm the website with people coming to try and download it if they know ahead of time when it will be on the website.. I would just sneak it on the website and say "its released"

LOL.. Dude.. That's a bit ridiculous.. Go to bed..

Yes I agree.. But I did not mean to estimate the number of sales.. Just throwing some numbers out there.. I'm sure they have sold many, many more copies than the 4000 I used as an example..

20 Full Time employees ?? I had no idea.. I would be interested in hearing more about what each employee does for PMDG.. Although, I would understand if PMDG did not want that information to be public.. Like the WSJ, I would also like to know how many copies of PMDG aircraft have been sold.. Well, I own 5 different PMDG aircraft all by myself.. (First 737, 747 for FS9 and 747 for FSX, MD 11, B1900) Lets do some math.. There are at least 4000 flight sim nuts (guess) in this forum everyday.. If everyone of them owns 5 copies of PMDG aircraft at an average of 50 bucks a pop.. That would equal 1 million dollars.. Nice !!!
