PMDG B777-300ER - The Best Long Hauler In MSFS | Full Review, Tips & Highlights

I was enthralled with this until I discovered the trim does not work. And then it rained. I turned on the windshield wipers and suddenly realized that immersion is an overused word. Cmon Randizzle, you may possibly be the only modern developer that can't figure out working windshield wipers. FSS even managed to get that right even if it's the only thing they got right.

Will the weather radar work accurately with active sky?

I like the plane but the trim is trying to stall me out at landing speeds

I thought this thing was being released today. 🤔(6/25)

So how are the sounds?

When is it coming out next year?

Very nice review! Any word on when to expect the 200?

I love the scripted 2fps ultra basic engine wobble animation... at least if it was dynamic it wouldn't give that impression of a 1 second loop animation...

Honestly, PMDG is really far far from superior quality now a days in terms of sound and art. Now a days you have companies that want to push themselves forward and propose real game changer addons, and on the other hand, you have old companies like PMDG that are just trying to make a much money as possible with an already very well profitable +10year old addon without giving too much effort.

Think twice before giving them your money guys, specially if you already bought their T7 2 times ;)

so I go and buy a PMDG 777 and I have to walk around it and maintain it?! I already said TAKE MY MONEY and now you're just making it even more of a must buy!

I just wish they added a auto save. Because ms is known for ctds. Worst thing is to fly for 8 hours just for it ti crash. So bad of them to be so lazy

just another boring again modern aircraft by adding gimmick features to what already out there, no one develop the classic like flyjsim did amazing jobs with, very boring, won't spend a penny on this one

Definitely buying this. Amazing preview! Keep it up. Just wondering, will this effect FPS and performance etc. 😅

Great insight.

A small comment not related to the aircraft. The scenes on approach to LEBL have some abnormally tall buildings?

Did you use LSFG?

Auto Cruise already worked quite well in the PMDG 777 for FSX.

Wow! They actually took Fuel Density into account! That's a great unique feature!

Hello , is it possible to link automated turnaround with GSX ? like is it fully integrated or is it only for PMDG ground services ? thx .

Very good explanation Gav. I can’t wait any longer. The time compression option is adapted from their 737s which is indeed a very nice feature. Use quite a lot. For those who don’t know it, It is activated on the captains clock. Color of the LCD will change in green, yellow and red and will reduce to normal speed around waypoint changes and big background calculation. So nice they implemented it also in this big jet. Thanks again for the preview.

Looking forward!!!!!!!

I want this now

Just thinking of the feature of moving the EFB around, Airbus modules should use the tray table as an option to place the EFB or some reference items, as it is also fwd facing and more ergonomic, rather than moving views Left and Right.

Will it be portable to FS2024?

can i fly this with the airbus sidestick?

Is there is a built in EFB(not the tablet but the one Boeing provides) like in P3d

Looking forward to it, although I will probably wait for the freighter...

Complete high-level product, but with poor immersion. These GE90 are more like a vacuum cleaner. You need Boris before launching this product so high level and so poor in immersion

Definitely getting it as soon as it is released. Looking forward to it.

Question: Im an AirBus person, would you recomend this to me/an AirBus person considering the future A350 of inibuild about to come out near December+. So would you consider this plane or not?

Also can you Butter it real well? 🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈

Nice! Is the wear and tare feature reset everytime you load in the plane or no?

Do you have to speed up the time to have auto step climb or can you have auto step climb on for those overnight flights while having real time?

The best until July 2 😂

Really looking forward to flying this bird. It looks awesome. I have been flying mostly the Fenix A320. I hope this bird is available for purchase on the 25th.

Thank you for the video. Beautiful aircraft. Do you have any idea if a tail camera has been modelled or will be in the future?

Is this available on series X

Is there a way to turn off failures for all of your aircraft, and not have to do it for each registration? That would be very annoying to have to turn them off for each livery, stuff like the tire stuff

The 777 is newer than the A320, especially the 300ER

Waste of time to develop the ground stuff when gsx exist, but nice to hear that gsx works.

But what’s the point of checking tires and pins if nothing happens if you ignore wear and tear?

There’s no question it will be the best long hauler in MSFS.

I loved the PMDG 777 in P3D and I am happy that we will soon be able to hop into it again in MSFS! One tiny little detail that I cannot unsee now is the fact that the hand that holds the tablet in the center position looks like the hand of a corpse xD.

For those of us who don't care about real life routes, this is great. I don't need to do a YYZ - EGLL flight with this, I can do a YYZ - CYUL flight happily.

People are so hyped for this 777 and A380 when in reality will never spend as much time flying them. I just don’t see many people flying 3+ hours.

The Ground handling looks very stiff (lige the 737) and not heavy/fluent like the fenix/fbw. What is your thoughts about Ground handling ??

Its a bit mean to over critize before public have even downloaded the product. Expectations are high on every level considering the time its taken to develop and thats also understandable.
I was a little disapointed when pmdg 737 came out with how bland the cockpit looked compared to fenix but it ran smoother and i grew to love it. I feel the 777 may turn out the same way but Im glad to have a high quality long haul in the library.

Absolutely can't wait for this !!

I don't see the benefit of using the 'in depth' simulation with time compression.
It seems it would be easier to have the aircraft go in to 'arcade mode' when time compression is on and switch back out of it when you turn it off. Its not like you care about the fine detail of the simulation if you are putting it in time compression. so why not just basically make time compression a slew mode, but with fuel burn and step climb ability.

I'm gonna miss flying the 787-8 for my long-hauls - my favorite airplane in sim and irl - but I'm super-excited about the 777. I hope the learning curve isn't significantly higher than it was for the 737 which was a bear for a right-brained, non-pilot like me to learn to fly… I still follow a large Word doc checklist I made every time I fly that plane… Hopefully, a lot of the automated systems in the 777 will help with that respect.

Also, I hope it's possible to turn off the maintenance stuff. That's a level of realism I'm not looking for. I just want to fly the plane, I'd like to let an imaginary maintenance crew worry about the tires and brakes. And I'm glad there's a GSX profile. I was worried about that. I was worried someone would have to adapt one from the Captain Scam 777 and hope it was in the ballpark to start out. Thank goodness that isn't the case.
