PMDG 777 Released!

[Boomer 1,619]

Took me 2 minutes to d/l.

[Jim Young 2,356]

I got it and successfully made my first flight from KLAX to KSFO via the FMC.  Engines sound great!  Don't know if it is a feature but when going from wing view to the VC, fps dropped to about 28 fps then slowly went back up into the 60's.

 

Time to read the manual.

 

Best regards,

Jim

It took 40 mins for me to get through the purchase screens (constant time outs) but eventually I managed to buy (with PayPal).

 

Here's a tip - once you're paypal has gone through, you will probably time out again while trying to be re-directed back to the PMDG shop....

 

So just go to your emails and your receipt email from PMDG.... it has the Download Link and Serial Number in, and BANG! ....... mine downloaded (778Mb I believe it was) in 9 minutes.   :smile:

 

No time to fly it this evening though, but an hours bedtime reading is in order ..... RTFM!  Ha ha. :smile:

similar experience but i paid with my CC, and i had copied the url of the last position in the system so i could start over quicker on the next go round. I think there is some DOS attacks going on.

And right now i am simulating a fedex kont-klax md-11f flight. Later i will have time for T7.

Yes 90 is too much for me. The more we tolerate it the faster prices will keep moving up, and for far far junkier addons.

 

Obviously there's a market for this addon and I'm sure it will do well sale-wise. But it's definitely not for me at 90. I'd pick it up for 60 (even though I do limited tube liner flying) and I'd have to think really hard at 70.

 

Congrats to the people who have a copy and ate enjoying it!

Got through instantly and downloaded installer at 1MB/s. liveries at 400KB/s. Thanks PMDG!

Haven't finished my first flight yet but it's an absolutely amazing add-on so far. It feels so immersive and complete. It's really what floats your boat, though (or lifts your wing). For example, I know I'm not going to buy the A2A 172 because for me, the Cessna 172 just isn't interesting/fun enough of an airplane to spend $50 on. But that's just me!

[fullmetal02 23]

Well I don't spend money on addons from companies that churn out unsatisfactory planes every 15 days. Most of us think that $90 is a bargain.

 

I would've paid $199.99 for a T7.

[ryanbatc 13,030]

And I wouldn't.  I'm happy you're enjoying it and am not in any way unhappy I'm not.

not for me at that price either, especially as airliner flying is not high on my list.

 

j41 and Q400 are about my limit

I keep thinking I want to get a PMDG jet, but I am not sure my fairly moderate PC (in FSX terms) would handle it very well, and I really get grumpy at low frame-rates and big time stutters - and to be honest, when I need a "jet fix" my QW757 works really well for me, just enough depth and a nice sim experience - but I do still hear the siren calling...

Stupid Question, Is the new 7 only available with a 3D cockpit and without a 2D?

Its VC only, just 2D pop ups. They dont do 2D panels any more going forward.

[alepro21 154]

Mhhhh...

 

First flight to FlyTampa's Dubai ended in an OOM. I have not seen an OOM error in a long time, and none so far on my new rig.

 

Not good.

[Drumcode 1,907]

Outrageous pricing but I went ahead and bought it. Spent 2.5 hours in the cockpit so far getting to know the systems at KPAE, will take her for the flight home to ORD tomorrow night. The light system is absolutely ridiculous, I'm in awe. I wish they released it over the weekend so I could spend more time with it, I have to get up for work, final test of this beauty tomorrow.
