Real 737 Pilot LIVE | Flying the PMDG 777-300ER in Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@samuelsmith2112]

Technically (systems) FF and PMDG are equal. PMDG has the advantage of having MSFS as a platform. And the PMDG is nice to fly in conjunction with their 737. Both planes excellent

[@noahglavan]

For the hydraulics on the Boeing 777 you have to set the right demand pumps first and then you wait for the fault light to go off and then you turn on all the hydraulics. If you turn the left hydraulic first it will messing up the hydraulic fluid.

[@hippohippo9344]

Ok then the door falls off midflight right?

[@palopo-t3v]

On the 777 a speed in the Legs page is always "or below". That's why there' no XXXA/ or XXXB/ in the formatting. It will not let you enter a speed restriction without entering a altitude as well. All the "invalid entry" messages are correctly modelled in the PMDG777.

[@flightdeck2sim]

I saw this in the guidance, a lot of RW 777 pilots have commented on the nuances as well, my ex-colleagues say they prefer the NG VNAV haha, great addon 👌🏻

[@palopo-t3v]

@@flightdeck2sim I'm an ex-colleague who just came to the sandpit :). Doing my LST on the 777 next week. VNAV in the 777 it's almost like a mix between common and basic VNAV but it will not dive to catch the path like our airplanes used to (I'm sure you remember). FLCH is completely different to LVL CHG. It doesn't always go full idle or full blast like in the 737. But the 777's has so many more functions. The ENG OUT function actually flies the driftdown for you in VNAV. Give it a try. Check the ENG OUT page, set the ENG OUT level in the MCP and just execute (you may need to push ALT INTV if you execute an engine out during a climb and it goes into VNAV ALT, which is effectively VNAV's ALT HOLD). There are so many functions that I wish the 737 had. I've been on the beta program for the PMDG777 since the begining. The little things that you may think are bugs based on what you know about the 737 are actually the areas where the 777 is different. The go around is completely different. I hope you enjoy it.

I've got the FF 777v2 and it's very good so far - way better than the original v1 - I will be buying this tomorrow too.

I had so much fun watching, and listening to your excitement. Looking forward to getting into the sim once all the nonsense is fixed. ty for sharing.

Yeah, engine sounds aren't too great are they. I much prefer FF's sounds. It seems more like a synthesized hairdryer.

[@pieterduplessis6906]

since when do we sim for sounds. thought xplane simmers are all into flight physics. THIS IS A PRE RELEASE COPYz. please remember this

@@pieterduplessis6906 when we sim, sounds are very important. What a ridiculous thing for you to say? It’s a pre release copy 1 day before launch. Sounds will not change overnight. So that point is invalid too. By the way, I’m not on x-plane. I was just very impressed by Flight Factors 777 sounds.

You mean the taxi cam. Cause no, it isn't implemented. msfs limitations. I suggest checking out the pmdg forums and asking questions there.

Overall the plane isn’t bad but it’s not good. The main thing that sets others like the P3D 777 and the FF 777v2 apart is they’re made for actual simulators. X-Plane calculates the flight model much different than MSFS. Let me remind yall of the bug with the PMDG 737 that you would land and the reversers would be way too strong and you could take back off but going backwards. The flight model and physics in MSFS is that of a game it wasn’t made as a simulator it was made for anyone to be able to pick up and play. The PMDG 777 is more like a plane anyone can fly rather than some ultra realistic 777, so it really depends what experience you’re after.

[@pieterduplessis6906]

msfs is not a game. you comment is a flat out lie. the model is evolving just like xplane's did ms has stated this over and over an simmers like you just do not seem to listen or hear the reviews from real loge pilots are excellent so far. the whole narrative that msfs is like flat earthers and the so stop with this msfs is a game. i have flown the 777 in xplane and it is nog bad but not as you describe it to say the plane is not good belongs in 2018. you are completely wrong buddy get over this sim vs game. sound a lot like a donald t rally to be honest
