This would really depend on what you like flying. If you're into flying long haul flights, then go for the PMDG 777 or wait for the upcoming 747-400 V2. If you fly mostly short haul flights, then go for the PMDG 737NGX. I own the 737NG, 777, and the 747. My personal favorite is the 777. I had first had experience with this aircraft a lot in full flight simulators and the actual aircraft. The 777 is my favorite out of them. She's really elegant in the air. Again, it really depends on your taste on the type of airliners that you like flying.

Well there are new add-ons for different simulators released. Check out the Froolgesim channel every single Sunday. He has news about new software that is released or about to be released. The latest big thing that was released was the IXEG 737 Classic. This is a study aircraft for X-Plane 10.

Is there a way to uninstall Active Sky 2012 textures? I am replacing them with textures from Rex 4 Texture Direct and Rex Soft Clouds.

I would have to say Active Sky Next. The biggest thing about ASN is that it has accurate cloud placement. This would mean that it would say at a specific GPS coordinate, there is a cloud of this type and weather it is producing precipitation or not. This is why PMDG is finally able to develop an accurate weather radar for FSX and P3D. ASN also has turbulence, windshear, and microbursts modeled which also has never been done before. The thing about ASN is that you'll need third party textures, or you are going to have to put up with the default textures in FSX/P3D.

Your best option would be to submit a ticket to PMDG at support.precisionmanuals.com. You might have removed your PMDG add-ons in a wrong way, but I am not exactly sure.

Does anyone know any good scenery for OMAA. The default scenery in FSX is already outdated. I am looking for a decent scenery for the airport including the new runway in it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You have to really careful when taxiing in the 777-300. This is a heavier aircraft than the -200. You have to manage this aircraft well during the taxi and always stay ahead of the aircraft while on the ground. You also have to manage these engines carefully since they are really powerful. The best guide on how to taxi in the Boeing 777 would be the Flight Crew Training Manual provided by PMDG with the 777.

I am not using them. I heard they are really good and have a sturdy all-metal design. Keep in mind that the initial purchase price is high. This really depends on how much you are dedicated to the hobby of flight simulation. I have a CH yoke hooked up to my laptop along with CH rudder pedals and a Saitek Throttle Quadrant and I am satisfied with it. Of course the GoFlight product feel more realistic. You may also checkout Frooglesim's GoFlight yoke review. He is using the yoke and throttle quadrant currently.

First off, do you have maintenance-based failures and random failures turned off in the options menu in the CDU? If you do have some turned on, go to the maintenance options and repair the aircraft from there. This shoul dfix your problem. Make sure you do not override your brakes during taxiing. This can cause them to overheat.

The best option would be to submit a ticket to PMDG at support.precisionmanuals.com, and they should be able to sort your issue out.

You have to first de-activate the license for the PMDG 777 using the CDU within FSX. After that, you should go to the control panel and uninstall the PMDG 777. After that is done, you should make sure that all the PMDG 777 folders within the main FSX folder (Program files (x86)) to make sure that the aircraft is completely uninstalled.

Different airlines having different configurations for their aircraft. A Boeing 777 is definitely different in terms of options from one airline to another.

The checklists on the PMDG 777 are based on Boeing's own checklists for the aircraft. Boeing usually customizes the electronic checklists according to each airline's request. PMDG just chose to give us the checklists that Boeing created for the 777 with the PMDG 777X.

You can setup if the aircraft has AUX tanks or not in the PMDG Setup through the CDU.

You also have to make sure that all your lighting knobs are also centered then you can use the Master Brightness knob to set the brightness of all lights in the flight deck.
