Pope Leo Joins Pilots In Cockpit During Flight To Barcelona

Probably the Best 777 (*) presently available for the various desktop/console/smartphone platforms, in an interview to head of devlopment by probably my preferred youtuber & rw pilot (now retired from RL flying): FlightFactor Interview with news on B777-200LR, B787 Dreamliner and A350 (*) I have 777s in 3 of my desktop flight simulation platforms, P3D, Aerofly FS 4 and MSFS 2024, but haven't yet cross the fence for this FF 777... It is in first place in my to-buy for already available aircraft for Xp12, but a bit expensive, so... maybe this interview does something about the deadlock :-) Some details: .) FF 777 uses X-Plane Flight Dynamics (no exterior model) alhough it externally model engines and drag ( whatever that means because I think drag IS FM...); .) FBW is custom made; .) 777 LR variants will come soon; .) Still many things to fine tune in the FMC code; .) MEL is a continued work and will get further detail, and be as close to being finished as possible. Around 300 new failures have been added, making around 60% of the full MEL implemented !!! .) Replay system still being worked. Presently the electronic instruments do not correctly replay, and Replay is closely related to the implementation of "Shared Cockpit"; .) Shared Cockpit is still WIP, but they want to make it right & great ! .) EFB looks clumsy... A different version, optimized, and a Tablet for FF aircraft is in the plans too; .) 787 PROJECT: Avionics are "done"; .) Most generic systems benefit from experience with the 777, but there are many differences / nuances... .) There's also the A350 (partnered with GlidingWiki i guess...);

@Stearmandriver , do you have access to the beta?

👍 They are !

Couldn't find any official announcement so far...

Have to give it a new try with this update. Previous one was already good. Author working on yet another plugin that will particularly suite my taste & desire regarding the possibility of a more structured / realistic soaring weather for X-Plane :-) 👍👍👍 to @MrBitstFlyer

Well, I was on trip, so, didn't come revisiting this thread, but thanks for your posts guys! You mentioned other combat sims I also used, and there were a few more whose name I don´t recall. One was, so I believe, the percursor of IL-2 Sturmovik original combat flight simulator. Regarding the accuracy of WT and now Aces of Thunder FMs, indeed they cen't be compared in detail to DCS or IL2 GB, but the simulator mode of WT, and the FM of AOT are good caricatures of the represented aircraft, with some of it's flight characteristics acceptably reproduced.

I believe the easter egg are the voives used to sample the syntesized speech, and that mught mean some of our well known youtubers might already have had a glimpse at it... Well, looking forward into it 👍 A decent and fully featured ATC robot is on my simmer dreams since Flight Assignement ATP...

Have to give it a new try out... Its a Nice plane but just as the LES dc3 last time I tties both they were plagued by the right rolling bug, and that was really a show stopper for me 🥴

My Library → Owned → Not Installed in my case it doesn't even appear in my Hangar, although it shows as owned in the Marketplace :-/

This video nicely summarizes the effects of combat flight simulation in my simmer life... Started early with SWOTL in the late nineties, then CFS 1, 2 and even CFS3, a few other WW3 sims, and finally in 2013, DCS World, followed by IL-2 then War Thunder and recently Aces of Thunder. Of them all the one that I liked the most and ended up turning me into an addict was War Thunder, and one of theses days I will probably reinstall it :-) And I never tried VR !!!

What's New in FlyJSim 732 v4? Classic 737 Reimagined

I loved the 737-100 and 200 Airfix and Aurora kits :-) back in the late 70s of the last Century.

Not to mention "13" is a bad number ...

Great Post !!! THX for sharing !!!! Made my week !!!!
