As a 777 Avionics Ground Engineer and Sim flyer for decades this will be a immediate day one buy for me. Really excited for this one.

Indeed, it's getting about time! But believe me, the wait has been worth it!

Absoluty and I hope we have good frames 🎉

[@RudiM88]

As an avid simmer and aviation nerd since I can remember, the 777 has always been my fave long haul aeroplane! I can’t believe this is happening and to the extent of the quality in which this aircraft is going to be modelled. Thanks so much for your update and G’day from Australia.

[@pm110978]

Looking forward to your tutorials for the 777 Captain 👍

[@A330Driver]

Coming soon!

[@justsayin644]

Emanuele, its really great to see that 2 of my graphics suggestions that i made regarding VC interior window trim, in the PMDG forum and that you then added to the Beta bug list have been implemented, i can clearly see them both in these shots, so thank you for listening and also to the PMDG team for being open minded to improvements and forum feedback in this way. Im confident that some of my other suggestions have also been added too, even though they are not in shot in any of these screen shots so i cant yet confirm.

[@A330Driver]

You're welcome!

[@redsaints]

Awesome, been waiting for this too. Loved the 777 since I saw the documentary on the design and building of it. Found it on KZbin recently and watched it all again.

[@A330Driver]

It's really a magnificant documentary and airplane!

[@picture8715]

Can't wait. This will for sure be one of the best planes we have ever seen for the sim.

CAN'T WAIT! My first 777 flight will be from Dubai to Dublin!

[@OpinionatedHuman]

Can't wait to take the captains seat when it's ready for release. I'm sure people will still be upset when it doesn't at the periods start date but yeah we all know this already. Hope to get a nice preview presentation and flight from you when youtubers are allowed to preview it!

[@FlightSimMega]

I'm so hyped and i'm definitely ready for the winter season now.

[@SunSkipper360]

Its great - but isn't it a bit cheeky to release the 300ER first, when most people will actually be waiting for the 200/LR/F as that will come with more elements? But people will buy the 300ER now because its a new PMDG plane, then ditch it once the 200 comes out as it'll essentially be the same.

[@A330Driver]

I voted to get the 200LR out first to maximize profits as people would just buy it anyway. But they didn't want to.

[@jamisonr]

This is exciting news. I have only started flight simming at beginning of this year, and it has been a very hectic learning experience. Think I'll take a break until this is out in a week or two, and then put my efforts only into it instead of the 737 and A320 from Fenix. I should really buy a yoke instead of the x56 setup I have.

[@ArrRoh]

First. And can’t wait! Thanks for the video 🎉

[@HowdyDoody-ek7np]

Can’t wait for the 777 and the max

[@captsonko.9345]

When it comes to Boeing pmdg is superb,even to prepare the plane you have to read and study the operation no gumbling,there aircraft is high standard study level machine for only the elite.

[@maxbartram2040]

When will the 737 MAX be released?

[@flegma22]

i think in between 777 other variants

[@Alexp_453]

Do you have a tutorial series ready for the release on the 25th or will you be making it after the release?

[@A330Driver]

I really don't know. I couldn't create them yet as I need to wait for the public build as well. Since I will leave for FSExpo on the 20th I will be away from home for a bit. I'll try to have some stuff ready, but we'll see if it'll be the full series. Once I'm back from Vegas it can only be a matter of a few days though!

[@owenklein1917]

So freaking happy they aren’t doing a whole 2 week notice

[@tra757200]

Perfect, I am moving to just down the road from NAS Whidbey and I can stop by KPAE and pickup my shinny new jet. I leave here on the 25th and should be there by the 29th. Perfect timing!

[@sk8guitardrums]

Thanks for sharing, are you getting a pre release version to showcase the aircraft for us? that would be nice as you have such knowledge and good at giving honest opinions of products.

[@gregorymckenna6609]

Anyone know if this model will have more or less features than the other PMDG 777’s?

[@A330Driver]

They will surely develop more features as the other versions are getting developed, but those will of course be updated into the -300ER as well. Ultimately it will have the same amount of features.

[@NanookOblivion]

Wow, really excited for it!

[@mgut1234]

[@gwalker3092]

Looking forward to the streams ofc once you get the go ahead to do them. Been having a break from msfs do can do this plane justice when it comes out. Exciting to know that Plane will be availble shortly. Heard nothing on FPS requirements hopefully it won’t be much different from 737

[@A330Driver]

It's similar to the 737 indeed! Though it looks much better, it's amazing what they achieved with this model! Truely shows what MSFS is capable of!

[@Buthajeb]

Finally 👏🏻 any info on liveries ?

[@A330Driver]

Will we get the 777 PMDG in X-Plane

[@A330Driver]

Unfortunately not

[@DanielZerem]

Initially I was excited since I haven't flown one from FSX days. But man they dragged it out and now I have lost interest in it and moved off to a different planes such as F-14 in DCS to spice things up. 😅 Now I am in no hurry to get it and when I do I will fly on 1.30-2h fictional routes as I don't like long haul (except in Concord).

[@Wazzman70]

Doesn’t sound like it’s the aircraft that suits you in any case given the aircraft you’ve mentioned

[@DanielZerem]

@@Wazzman70 Since I started on sim ages ago I flew aircraft such as these on short hops as I mentioned above. In fact I remember days when I was flying 777 daily when it was new thing in FSX all on short flights. It was amazing addon back then I only cared for these points: 1) Can the plane land at destination? 2) Do I like the addon, high quality etc.? I just need to reduce the thrust on the take off 🤣as these craft with so little fuel would fly like rockets.

[@tjfSIM]

Have to wonder why they didn't just say 30th June and leave it at that.

[@A330Driver]

Because they most likely expect the most likely release date to be the 25th. But you know the internet, if a last minute issue holds the release up by a day or two, they'll go completly nuts if no such disclaimer is given.

[@corruptneedles3384]

Will it come with airline specific passenger cabins?

[@A330Driver]

Customization of the IFE is possible and the license will allow all painters to repaint the cabin to their liking.

[@dolf1010]

Great ! 👍👍👍

[@Aboutro]

Do you think it’ll be more expensive or cheaper than the 738. I’ve always wanted to get it, and the pricing isn’t too bad, but as someone who values realism, and doesn’t have the Boeing yoke, for me it would (technically) end up setting me back £500+ 738+773 price. I can fly it with my sidestick, it’s just a lot harder, but as the 777 is my favourite plane I’m gonna have to buy it now. I can say bye to my savings, and hello to an angry wife…

[@A330Driver]

I think it will be somewhere similar. They haven't announced an exact pricing yet, but I'd guess maybe the same as the 738, plus inflation correction? Just a guess though.

[@adrianramdeholl]

Yo, hey again. You said you were a member PMDG beta testing team so can you show us a specific beta before the release of this Game-Changer 777 before the release of it

18z = 2:00 PM right? (at Eastern Time) (US)

[@philipthompson4419]

Will this work for 2024 though on Xbox?

[@A330Driver]

We can only count on Asobos assurance that anything working in MSFS will work in FS24 at this time. Developers didn't get access to the new sim yet, so we don't know anything for sure. An xbox version will come, though not on initial release.

If they launch it, the 30th...15days' notice was accurately announced.

[@Jetset_hd]

Is the Pmdg 777 going to be more system demanding compared to fenix a320?

[@A330Driver]

If you mean "system demanding" as in system complexity, then maybe. Personally I'd say yes, others will say it is on a similar level. If you mean computer-resource intensive, then definitely no, it runs much better on my computer than the Fenix. Similar to the PMDG 737.

I do not have insider information on the price yet (I seriously beleive them when they say they'll only decide it just prior to the release though - it's surely been like that with the 737-600!), but I beleive we won't see a major departure from the 737's pricing. If I need to guess - and that's really just a guess - I would think it'll probably be the same as the 737 plus maybe some inflation correction? That's pure speculation though.
