Same thing occurred with me this morning when I woke up to find my night flight from OMDB-KSEA dropped down from a capped 60fps to 10! Never experienced this before. I've done Europe to US, US-Caribbean and Europe to S.America in the 777 and not had an issue until last night. Not sure if this was a result of my recent update to the latest driver, tweaking settings (nvidia settings randomly resetting) or the PMDG 777 but I hope it is the latter and that I (correction-"a") fix will be inbound soon. Will try again this evening on a different route and hope

Hey guys. Sorry I literally have had no time at all to play any games. I've abandoned my PS4 Xbox and PC for so long :( 1st off I found this on YT and would like you guy's opinion. Now this is a flight from LHR-HNK and the wing flex looks minimal upon approach. Maybe there is something wrong with the replay or maybe he is light. Either way, I recently flew on a B77W to Honk Kong from London on a Cathay flight in Business and the wings barely flexed on approach. And about before, like I said, I did not mean to offend and no I do not know a lot about the 777. Just general stuff and more than most but it has been a concern and i wanted to address it. Hope the guys who have ridiculed me understand I won't lie, this is an excellent side by side comparison. I still need to take flight and make my own. I will within the next week.Maybe even tomorrow actual but yes, I cannot argue against this picture at all.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond and I'm taking what you said onboard. It was a rant but I really do enjoy the PMDG 777 and cannot wait for the -200ER (fingers cross after the B747-400 V2 is complete). I think perhaps it's me being spoilt while not understanding the efforts that went behind creating the model we have but I do acknowledge it is indeed near to perfection. Just wish the wing flex was on point too. Cheers Oh and for my next post I will do that signature thing. I have no idea how to but will look it up once I have more time for AVSIM. I said landing not takeoff

Excuse the long title. First off, when a B777-300/ER takes off, the main gear rises as the plane rotates in order to assist in ground clearance. This is not modelled in the PMDG version. Has anyone raised this issue before? Anyways... I search high and low for topics about this and found JUST ONE. I don't know what shocks me more. The fact that the wings of the PMDG 777 bends as much as a 787 IRL under operational load during landing or that this has never been a concern/issue/observation of the FSX/PMDG community. I mean, you'd be excused for thinking this was a forum about any old game and not a simulator that features one of the greatest addons ever. The way that most experienced simmers overlook issues with the modelling of some of the most realistic and most expensive addons for FSX and even debate what the eyes can clearly see is astonishing. Surely myself and planemaddan aren't the only two to notice this quite distracting issue. Here is a link to the only thread by planemaddan mentioning this and pay close attention to the inaccurate excuses and dismissive attitude for something that really exists . http://www.avsim.com/topic/444293-how-true-is-the-wing-flex/ Those of you who have the PMDG 777, please take the time to find pictures of B77L's and W's landing after LH and ULH flights. Remember that these a/c DO in fact takeoff at MTOW very often due to a combination of cargo, pax and fuel for the flights ranging +4000nm. Note the airline, where it's flying from and going, then replicate this flight in FSX as I have done. Look at 777L's and W's as they approach IRL. Look at how much or should I say, the lack of wing flex on approach. Now look at your PMDG's wing flex as you come in to land. NOW DO YOU NOTICE SOMETHING WRONG? Or should we just be grateful and not bring issues like this to light because the product is close to perfection? Let me explain myself and tone guys. I am just frustrated and I mean no offence to anyone. Realism means everything to me when it comes to FSX and simulators in general. The purpose is to immerse oneself. So it baffles me as to how some can say such things in response like, "It is realistic, you may have seen a lot of flex because you had a small amount of fuel in the wings." Mind you, that is not the reason but thankfully, Steve Dra corrected him. Unfortunately, Steve Dra also said the following; "The wingflex is quite accurate planemaddan, just google 777 wingflex and click the "Images" link. You'd be amazed how much they flex when she's heavy (and/or in turbulence). It looks almost unnatural, but they actually do flex over the fuse when she's at MTOW and rotating for liftoff. There is a really good pic of a Delta 777 in that configuration. We don't link or post Airliners.net photos here or I'd just post it for you to see. :wink:" To finish off this RANT, I have no faith that this would be fixed or that the community would ask for a patch that corrects the wing issue. I pretty much expect to get replies telling me that it is not a big deal and that everything else is fine so who cares. Well I care lol.
