Although, that’s not to say it doesn’t have plenty of power. It’s not a nimble jack-be-quick like the 737.
Moving the power forward for the first time is a dream come true. If you’ve gone through our 737, you’ll get pretty close to getting it right the first time. First, it’s really easy to get this aircraft setup for takeoff. On my first flight, I didn’t fuss too much with these programs, and simply used the PMDG 777 pushback function.Ī bit off topic, but it’s worth mentioning that the airport used here comes from the amazing development ground FlightBeam, and this airport is San Francisco, KSFO.Īs we get to the shots here of takeoff roll, let me talk a bit about that. There will always be the PMDG way of pushing back, and also other services you can use for Ground Equipment, like AES or GSX. We all love the sound of fans in the cockpit, spooling of the engines, and the rumble down the runway. One thing you’ll notice throughout any flight, is the vast library of sounds that flawlessly seem to play a mechanical orchestra. The PMDG 777 is better on frame rates than the 737. Now, with an aircraft like the 777, which is larger than the 737, we’d see a larger hit in frame rates, right? Wrong. This adds a surprising amount of realism to the look and feel of the aircraft. the reflective properties just feel accurate. You’ll notice throughout these screenshots that the 777 looks much more reflective than other PMDG products. For example, there is an automated Ground Operations now- set your turn time, fuel, and the aircraft will be fueled up and even automagically pushed back at departure time. There are also a lot of other new features in an already familiar format from PMDG products. You click off an item, the cursor moves down to the next item without you needing to move it. I quickly fell in love with the ECL (Electronic Check List) and can see myself using it a lot. There are simply many background systems doing automated processes. The automation of the PMDG 777 makes it easier to setup and fly than the 737. This aircraft has a powerful, realistic presence.īecause I’m already very familiar with the 737, and have done a little training on the 777, getting into the aircraft was a breeze. Click to Enlarge for Amazing Detailįirst impression was, “This is better than the 737! How is that possible?” But really, you’ll instantly notice a quality difference in a subtle way. Throughout this post, I’ll share those thoughts and ideas with you in an attempt to get you all pumped up to fly this bird yourself. We here at Angle of Attack have been working on our 777 Training for ever a year now, so the aircraft couldn’t come soon enough.Īfter just a few short hours with the aircraft, what are some of the first things I notice? I must say, I’ve been very excited for this moment for quite a while now. Today marks my inaugural flight of the PMDG 777.
