Though no evidence of any fault with the plane has been developed, it's been a tough couple of years for the Triple 7. RIP to the passengers and crew.

Sometimes on takeoff, when I engage the autopilot the plane starts descending instead of climbing. I disconnect the vnav and climb using the v/s. What's that about?

The BA livery looks better the more I see it. I can't wait to fly this bird!

I climb between 1600 and 1800fpm.

That makes sense. Maybe I set my climb rate too high or my airspeed too low, but I get pretty nose high if I clean it up before I get past 250.

I had no idea they retract the flaps so early. I always assumed they waited til around 10,000 feet.

Before I commit to the full version, I wanna wait for the 77W release since I don't know I how much that expansion will be. The trial version looks pretty cool for the 2 flights I've done so far. A flight to and from a rainy ATL gave me a chance to see a nice transition into and out of the clouds. It did hit my frame rates pretty hard, but I don't think the Imaginesim KATL scenery helped much.

Who knew the Triple 7 could get even better? Of course, it won't be in the air for a few years, but I hope PMDG puts it in the queue. Doesn't look like the 777 is fading anytime soon ^_^

All of them, lol

Yeah, I thought the $59.95 price probably the most reasonable for our hobby. I'm still not all that convinced that I'll leave FSX. I'm just a weekend pilot and I'm pretty happy with my setup, but Was curious to see if Prepar3d was really that much better. Pleasantly surprised by the objectivity.

$199?!!! Is that the basic package price? If so, this debate is over, lol. I love simming, but I do other stuff with my life. I'll stick with FSX. Thanks everyone.

I keep reading posts in the PMDG page about how great this Prepar3d is, like it's the second coming of the personal sim world. I've also looked at a few youtube clips and comparisons and I don't really get what the fuss is about. I generally can't stand photoreal scenery, and that's the only real difference I notice. And according to the website, it's not even intended for personal use. I know FSX has it's many flaws and aggravations, but I need more evidence on why I would want to pitch it, so I figured i'll mine this forum for info. I may get flamed, but if there's any valuable information in said flaming i'll take it into account. Please help.

Crossing the pond from London to ATL. I started from ATL to Hong Kong, Hong Kong to London, and now I'm on the final leg back to Atlanta. That's pretty much my weekend. Still waiting for the 77W though.

I love the 77W! If all models were released at once, it would be my choice hands down. She's so graceful and looks great in almost any livery.

Cathay, British, ANZ All Black, Emirates. I feel like this has been asked before.
