PMDG 777

Dear PMDG team, It would be possible to let me know when I can make my order for the Captain and Chief Pilot for the 777 manual sets. Thanks and greetings, Stefan

hello, Again there is silence from the PMDG team the latest information on 7 August was telling us about the manual, and now PMDG When launched videos photos and more info?

I know that the driver for this piece of hardware is a Flightsimlabs piece of software and will likely also post this Q on their forum. Just wondered if PMDG has poked them for a modified driver to allow the panel to work with the T7 upon release. Thanks. Rob Mrofka

Today I started up a flight with Alaska Airlines on the NGX from SFO to SEA and a AI 777 was docked next to me. That thing is huge! The transition whenever the 777 comes out will be much harder, as in the feel of it. Take a look:

Hi guys, First of all: Thank you PMDG for your outstanding products. I wonder if it would be possible to have a sound option for online (VATSIM etc) flying. Now it's very hard to understand the controller since the cockpit noice is so present. In real life a headphone would keep that noice away and only transmit ATC, in FSX all sounds come through my headset. If only we could have an (let's call it) "multiplayer sound" option that would reduce all other noise (engines, environment etc) and focus on ATC.... I hope we can!

Hi guys, I know in the past PMDG have said that there will be no virtual cabin for the ngx etc. I have always prefered it, as an extension of the exterior view, not the VC.. Nowadays we all pretty much get the performance we are after in the external views [wingviews spot etc] it is only in the VC where we tend to struggle.. This is Captain sim yes, and no I am not supporting the company, but in the interest of fairness I believe that they have done a fantastic job here It really makes one feel like they're in a 777, as to be fair, the majority of the customers here, only ever see this part of the aircraft so to truly FEEL like we are flying o…

Will / does the PMDG B777 offer a 2D cockpit? Thanks, Ken Boardman

A poll that may inspire PMDG developers! I hope this poll will end the 2d, 3d conflict. It will reduce useless comments and make space for more important topics and for sure it's PMDG final decision! POLL = ((VOTE ONLY PLEASE)) !! YOUR COMMENT (+ OR -) IS NOT WELCOMED ( USELESS)!!

I hope that with the release of the B777 we shall receive comprehensive configuration recommendations that enable us to quickly establish the best FSX and PMDG B777 runtime parameters for a modern PC.

Well since its been a long time since i got my hand on a 777 . lately i had done alot of reading of the 777 prosedures . Just last week a friend got me 40 mins to seat on 777 ER that was on the ground getting some work done, i got a slap on the hand when i almost pulled out my DSLR :-) . we went thru some check list and just yesterday i got 2 hours on a Level D , that was a nice hole on one of my credit cards but was worth every minute of it . Next week ill be on for another 2 hours . I CANT WAIT FOR THE RELEASE DATE GUYS ...... by the way im looking for a new seat for my desk , any ideas?????

Hi All, I am doing something wrong in my preflight/pretakeoff work with the FMC/MCP that is causing that is causing the auto pilot to not engage when I press the CommandA button on the MCP. I have the auto throttle engaged and the Flight director engaged---- I import the flight plan from co route on the FMC (made in FSBuild with new Navigraph data for both FSBuild and PMDG (all fields filled in except the sel/oat because i don't know what goes in the sel slot) . I had this problem a few years ago and somebody helped me out----I have taken a few months off from flying the sim and am re-learning the 737NGX all over again. Thanks to anybody for some help on …

As the title suggests [and you guys on the development team!] I am learning a lot about the LR and the 777 in general, I purchased three 777 DVD's, Polar and sydney in the 777-200LR And 777-300 to frankfurt and tokyo

I just received my 2 DVD's of Air Canada's 777 flights from Just Planes (www.justplanes.com). I've only watched the first segment of the flight to Melbourne, going from Toronto to Vancouver, but this is one very nice looking airplane. The pilots really rave about them and I think I can see why. Anyway, they are worth a look and will give you a feel for being inside the cockpit of one of these things. The other one I got was the Polar Route to Hong Kong. Apparently there are some incredible shots going over the far north in the 777. I've not watched it yet, but if you're looking for some resource material, that's a very good place to start. By the by, I have quite a nu…

If you guys over at PMDG can get a nice camera angle like this for the 777x on wing view would be nice

Look closely in the air at the beginning seeing him fighting the wind. One word for the pilot flying..BOSS.

The first time I saw this, I had to pick up my jaw from my desk and close my wide open mouth. Enjoy!

Hello Gents, When I start a flight I always prefer Cold and Dark startup. It just keeps you sharp when it comes to the planes systems. There is however a problem with this when you create a night flight. You can not see a bloody thing (sorry about the bloody) Why can't we have a simple one key stroke flash light ? Like a small spot light that shines on the overhead panel so we are able to locate the batt switch and start up the systems at night? Anyway, just a thought. Cheers, Guys Rick Melcher

How long your 777 hauls will be, average ? The Poll is intended using no accelerated time of course.

Im not sure if this has been asked before but will the PMDG 777X feature boeing's new sky interior lighting that can be controlled by the FMC? or will it be OFF/ON andbrightness control like the NGX. It would be nice when flying in FSX at night to see the cabin light up Purple or something as the -200LR cruises; just putting it out there. -If this post seems irrelevant you may delete it

After a brief research I've found that the following airlines operate both the 738 and the 773 in their fleet: All Nippon, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, Turkish Airlines, Air India, Air China, Egyptair, KLM, Virgin Australia, Air Austral (not sure..), Jet Airways, Biman Bangladesh Airlines. Seems like only Turkish and KLM operate both in Europe and noone does in the USA. Is this list correct or are there maybe others operating both? Cheers,

Will we have the option of adding and removing the extra fuel tanks from the 777-200LR?

well, Beoing 787 ,the most advanced commercial airplane, existed in the world, i just wondering in my mind if PMDG ever thought of developing B787 ?

Today I noticed three aircraft flying long routes in B772's. One aircraft AAL270 had PMDG in the flight plan remarks. The other two had nothing in the remarks they were DAL122 and ARF332. Cheers Don Emerson
