    Greetings everyone!
    To make a long story short, I've always wanted to do a fleet project, and I have started by working on the All Nippon Airways 777-300ER fleet. I will be making them as accurate as possible as I have access to primary internal resources (Unfortunately I cannot share with anyone ;( ) but I will do my best to make them as accurate as possible. As PMDG prepares to rollout the -200/ER, I will do those aircraft accordingly.  Enjoy!
    I have no experience with PBR, so when the time comes, I may ask anyone who is willing to assist once that update is public. I can't wait to give you all the most accurate depiction of this beautiful fleet.

    Details which will be on each aircraft:

    • Accurate SELCAL VC placard for each tail number.
    • Minor cockpit details unique to each aircraft (Pretty much uniform throughout the fleet).
    • External details based on photos from before most aircraft were put in storage due to 2020 situation.
    • Window configurations depending on the cabin configuration.
    • Correct Engine Spinner and Wing Paint customized per aircraft.
    • NGS stickers on the belly.
    • Cockpit configurations accurate per aircraft.
    • Many small details, I encourage you to regularly check the google doc link for consistent updates.

    Please see this google sheet for updates:

    I do hate how VA's set this "Soft landing" tone with competitions and rewards for ridiculously low landing rates. A lot of times people take away the realism by over flaring and floating their plane  nearly halfway down the runway with the nosegear still up. Iv'e even heard people criticize REAL PILOTS because they think real planes fly exactly like simulator ones and they say "I've never landed this hard with clear weather in FSX blah blah blah." :blink: 

    I've seen in person many 777's land soft with all types of angles of attack...it depends on so many variables and makes it difficult to follow a "Good Landing Checklist" to get that perfect landing.

    Practice practice practice with all the tips you have been given and really get to know how your plane flies. At the end of it all, it comes down to just how well you know your aircraft under certain weather, payloads and conditions etc.. This goes for ANY airplane. Don't let anybody tell you did a bad landing just because you can't hit -20 fps...but  also don't let anyone tell you you're a good one if you slam it into the ground. :laugh:

    Thank you for sharing this with us. We are all on different sides of the world, but we all share the same passion that makes us as a family: Aviation. Those not inside this industry, real or simulated, will never understand how simple the sound of an engine can bring us together and at our best.

    I am confused, is this a purchasable Beta still in production or actual release?

    I love the 757, I've had almost every 757 ever made for ever sim over the years (Posky, PSS,QW am I missing any?) and I have owned many Captain Sim products since I've had FS9 as my primary sim...but,
    I still feel $75.70 is a irrational price for JUST a single engine variant base package.It almost feels like a slap in the face given how many actual variants of the 757 there are.

    What dissapoints me is that they've made an aircraft many people would be excited for and are willing to do anything get make as much of a profit as possible. I mean really? 75.57 for an airplane? They literally pulled that number out of nowhere because of it's relation to the aircraft. I could place bets on what the price would be if they made another 767... This is just for a PW "Base" model. If you look at their 777 line, they really are going to expect many people to buy multiple packages just to complete an aircraft series. I am well aware of the quality differences between developers...I've been through many releases but this one is by far the most absurd for price and actual product. What's worst is they were rationalizing the price by stating "There are over 40+ liveries available..." There are hundreds of GREAT painters who would gladly create free, high quality paints for free for this plane...that shouldn't be used as a promotion to sell to people questioning "Why so much?". I wonder if their GPWS/flight decks aural warnings will be Boeing accurate this time...for $75 I hope they are.

    Simply sounds like you entered a strange scenario the plane never had seen before and it panicked. Low CI profiles should help the VNAV determine the climb profile based off of weight in a joint calculation with your thrust setting in the perf page before departure. Performance calculators are usually used before engine start to determine the best/preferred. It could also just be a hidden bug triggered by specific setups.

    Hey everyone! 
    After many, many hours of overtime, I just recently made an upgrade (To give my little brother my old rig) and the OS is Windows 10 (yuck #WIndows7forever).

    Specs are:
    i7-7700K (No OC)

    MSI GTX1070 8GB

    16GB DDR4-3200

    LED 1920x1080@60Hz

     

    Anyone with a similar setup, I'm new to Windows 10, and honestly the P3D deal entirely...i;ve been with MSFS since 2001. I'll try all opinions on what I should do based off your own experiences.

    • What should I do in the P3D.CFG? (Affinity Mask, line edits, etc...)
    • Specific sim settings?
    • Any changes I should do to Windows 10?
    • What should I have for dinner tonight?
    • Literally anything to optimize my experience?

    Many thanks to my fellow simmers.

    Thank you.  Do you know if that includes accurate acceleration/reduction heights, FMS settings and GPWS callouts?  Those are particularly where I'm finding inconsistent info for the -300, and partially the -200 as well.

    I had a checklist I asked the test pilot, whatever he managed to give me, is what I put on. Honestly can't remember about the heights, but I would say mine is 90% accurate.

    United flap 25 or 30 landing? - David Lee

    This is a dynamic performance decision, up to the PIC every flight. You choose! 

    Although, I do notice many UA 77W flights landing with 25 here at IAH.
