My new toy PMDG 777


Recommended Posts

Thanks guys - yeah it's a great plane to fly. Shame the weather wasn't very good but it did allow to see performance and wing flex too.

I found another fsx gem too - never had it before - when moving the mouse in the VC I get a drop in fps. Apparently this is good old fsx and not much can be done about it. Ah well still ok tho.

I let it autoland and took a quick video from the external view. Hopefully upload this tomorrow if I get 2mins (or 1hr damn youtube)

Got Uk2000 Cardiff and Stansted the other day - managed to wangle this beaut due to the wife wanting perfume lol Said she can get perfume if I can get the plane - GOOD TIMES!

Next thing I'm looking at is immersion for this baby - then for the 737ngx when it gets released too.

Expect a lot of screens from this in near future :)

Tis the season for new toys...falalalala, lalalala.

And that's a very very nice one.

Frankly, all your Tube-shots recently have made me want one that I want to fly... ;)

Cheers - this one is great but if I was to recommend a tube it would be the 737ngx with the 600/700 expansion - for me its just a little more involved than the 777.

Lovely aircraft, Jim, and some great initial shots of it — although I'm looking forward to seeing more.     :)

 

(The 300ER expansion is cool too, although poor old FSX can sometimes have a tough time rendering the additional three cameras when taxying...).    :whis:

 

Have fun!

 

Cheers,

Cheers guys - yeah will be posting more - I really want to see the cockpit of a night but couldn't find where the bloody buttons where to turn the VC lighting on haha. 

 

Case of RTFM!

 

This is a beast and really takes the resources out the system - but well worth it in my opinion. My old machine would have burnt up there and then with this one :)

 

Matt (CaptainCoffee) - I like the look of that plane in your topic too - very nice mate.

Just another one for fun - I'm calling this 'Fogged In' - the video I mentioned from above has been published and found below - please feel free to view on Youtube for better quality :) Thanks for viewing!

You can land it smoother than that autoland.  :)  Nice foggy pic Jim,  :thum: did you fly in it?

 
I didn't - I was trying to see what the PMDG lights look like in rubbish weather so forced some weather into the sim. Saw a photo op though so took it :)
 

Very cool. The wing flex dropping down right after landing is amazing looking... Thanks for sharing that.

 

No problem - I agree; when I set that camera up on the ground the wing as level with the cam - then when I was flying and thought I'd take a roam around, it was high. PMDG are great at that kind of detail. 

The only downfall for a detailed plane like this is the performance hit - I mean my machine is not exactly poor and it still gets around 20fps in the VC :) 

 

 

Thanks for the comments guys - expect more of this plane as I just spent about £80 on it hehe!
