The PMDG 777-300ER Introduction with a Real 777 Rated Pilot

[@320SimPilot]

Hi everyone, apologies for the stretched video, there was a glitch in my recordings for the first half. Rest assured the real aircraft is proportioned correctly!

[@redmaister9909]

Does it feel like flying the real thing?

[@fatboyfat_uk]

The weirdest part is the slightly misaligned clicks - It looks like you're pressing a different button on the CDUs especially!

[@stomcode]

It looks like a weird A350 during the first half 😂

[@coochieman7887]

@@redmaister9909No, according to another 787 pilot that is also 777 type rated. But he also said it’s because of MSFS, rather than PMDG (the developer). Hopefully MSFS 2024 will be much better and closer if not similar to X-plane when it comes to physics and flight models

[@darrenhickey1923]

I hope PMDG are looking after you. I bought this based on your recommendation. $112 AUD - the most expensive aircraft in MSFS2020 I think. Really looking forward to getting into it and thank you for your great videos. This was a fathers day gift so thanks to my daughter too.

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy it! It’s a fantastic add on and there is lots more to learn even after my videos, I hope to make some more detailed ones in future. A very nice present to receive!

[@Matt_10203]

Never worked on them or around them but always been my favourite aircraft. Just such a mean looking beast of an aircraft, cant wait to fly it in the sim and hopefully get a chance to work on them someday.

I can’t wait for this. I own the 737-600 and 800. I love them, they are really one of the best on the game.

[@320SimPilot]

[@mdhazeldine]

Having flown LHR to Toronto numerous times on 777s (both BA and Air Canada), I have to say this addon is gorgeous. The PMDG 737 is really good, but they've definitely upped their game here. I don't know if I could compare it to the Fenix because it's such a different plane, but it's definitely approaching those realms of awesomeness. The sounds in particular are a big step up from the 737 ones.

[@McAero08]

Non-flush rrivets are just cheaper during manufacturing as you don't have to sink the metal to make space for the rivet head. It`s an extra step that costs labor or machine hours (this part normally is a typical part to be assembled by hand). There is no weight saving. In fact he opposite as more material is there. But we are talking very very very small amounts.

[@320SimPilot]

[@madsib5187]

Finally realistic wing flex since the one of the 737 looked ridiculous. One question: Why did you turn off that lower screen before take off? Great video, thank you!

[@320SimPilot]

The wing flex is super! I turn off the lower screen because it isn't used for takeoff, no information on it is used. Like on the 787, we turn off the 'secondary' engine instrument displays after engine start. Thanks for watching!

[@PSPmaster321]

Did anyone notice the brakes glowing red hot on landing?? Insane!

[@wiredwomble7958]

I had to replay it to do a double take.

[@320SimPilot]

Great spot! They will glow the correct colour and more and more as you heat them up! The reason they glow in my video is when making replays I effectively land over and over again, heating them up.

[@richardsuttill54]

Interesting - the only 777 video of the many that I am happy to watch. I must admit the worst thing for me is personal but I absolutely dislike brown cockpits, but that is a Boeing issue.

Boeing has nailed in this one. This thing can fly for +16h still carrying a good amount of payload. You can even do the JFK-SIN route with it.

That Glide Slope behavior of most of the approaches within MSFS is a pain in the after.

[@Metaxoid]

for the 1000m landing distance calculation error, you had set for brakes config "max manual" that was probably the issue :D
