Wow, paying $325M is impressive just for a youtube video
lol
He got it for free cuz PMDG sended him the file

Just shows you the huge amount of revenue you can make at 50k subs :p he's rolling in it!
Haha! That’s it, Dave XD
Even though I own this sim, I still get blown away from watching other people's videos. Incredible realism.
Brilliant video! Shame about those engine sounds… not quite there.
Agree, awful. Reminds me of the defaults in XPlane 11.
Many thanks, FR - I’m really glad you enjoyed the video!
It seems that PMDG have since updated the engine sounds (and I would imagine, they may continue to do so).
Cheers and all the best : )
Fantastic video and great insight, as close to the real thing as it gets! Thanks
Nice video.
Few very minor things…
You don’t need to put left forward fuel pump on for the APU. With AC power, it connects automatically.
With auto start on, you don’t need to wait for 30% N2. Just set fuel control to run as soon as you select start, and the auto start system introduces fuel when it needs to.
You always fly a minimum of vref+5 on approach.
Otherwise pretty good knowledge.
Hey dude, just wondering why it’s vref+5, is it necessary on all Boeings or is it unique to the 777?
@@Q3arkIt’s Vref + Half the Headwind Component, but with a minimum of +5. If there are reported Gusts, its Vref + Half Headwind Component + the whole Gust Factor (Gust factor being the difference between the reported wind speed and gust speed), to a maximum of Vref + 15.
Eg on runway 27 with wind 270/10G20 = Vref + 5(Half headwind component) +10 (gust factor is 10, difference between wind strength (10) and reported gust (20) so total VRef+15 (which is the max). If gusts were 25, still Vref + 15 as 15 is the max to add to Vref. Hope this helps. It may be for all Boeing, I’m not sure. But certainly for the 737, 777, and 787.
look how far we have come
Looks like a few animations need work like wipers and rotating tyres.
they are really testing my patience by pricing it at 325 million
Sent pics of the PDMG site to my buddies letting them know I am a little short. 😂😂😂
@@InformedandBlessed520 Any idea when the actual price will come?
@@qGapz It was supposed to be today. Funny thing is the PrePar3D 777 version is priced normal. I say check back late today or tomorrow.
@@InformedandBlessed520 I guess. is there any way you can ask them? Don't mean to pry.
@@qGapz I wish I had that type of power. The company doesn’t list a customer service number and refer all questions to their knowledge base and forums. All we can do is wait.
What are your thoughts on MSFS 2024? They released the second trailer recently.
I’m very much looking forward to it, SB! I did think about covering the trailer but 1) every man and his dog had already covered it haha and 2) I covered the 1st trailer and people didn’t seem that bothered with my video. If MSFS 2024 lives up to Asobo’s promises, I think it’s going to be a great sim!
Cheers and all the best : )
Looks insane real! Are you using a sort of Nvidia filter or Reshade?
Another interesting presentation....Thank you so much....Totally out of my league in ability needed to operate the aircraft but it seems very realistic... Roger..Pembrokeshire
Great video, as always, well done.
Many thanks, JW! I’m really glad you enjoyed it : )
Cheers!
nice however howcome there were some PTU sounds during the cabin walk?
i still love this aircraft either way tho ❤❤
Does this only use simbrief FLPs or does it also use the in game flight plans? I find simbrief difficult to use as I have discalculus
Any news on when its coming to marketplace?
I’m afraid, I wasn’t given any info regarding that, Fan Fan. The PMDG forums might give more specific details.
Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. All the best!
What are your reshade settings
Lots of squawks with this bird out of the gate. Don't get me wrong. PMDG's products are top of the line for MSFS, but, I did not expect that after such a long wait and testing by real pilots, that things as simple as the speed tape not working correctly at altitude would present itself. Let me begin and prepare for the onslaught of negative comments:
1. Speed tape, FL370, M.856 "airspeed low" alarms constant.
2. Captain's side main instrument panel buttons and knobs do nothing.
3. Captain's side accept, reject, cancel buttons do nothing.
4. FO side L inboard, Center, R inboard, etc. does nothing.
Too many other squawks to mention right now as I am still on a long haul test flight. It could be just that something went wrong for me on the download, but I am finding a lot of inconsistencies for this long awaited product. PMDG did an outstanding job on the visuals though. The 777 is a wonderful girl and I will continue to enjoy her now, while awaiting any patches/fixes which are always and issue with any software product. Thanks so much PMDG.
That engine pylon model is going to annoy me
Noice.
DLSS graphic quality is awful
Nahh that Engine Sound Sounds awful
why dont u go go buy the equipment and record better sounds? u guys complain and moan about every addon that comes out just be happy we finally got a good 777 for the sim
@@Mehrawkifbw did a better Job and its Not Even out. Pmdg is trash
@@Mehrawki Yea because when we spend money on a product and it's sub par in some areas the solution is to get the customer to fix it.
Get your head out of your arse.
@@Mehrawkifbw did a better Job and its Not Even out 💀
At least it doesn’t sound like a vacuum cleaner- like the AI planes in FS9.
CapSim modeling is better! Both PMDG and CapSim sounds are azz!
Am i the only one getting tired of all the whining and complaining? 🙄
How's anyone going to afford the addon when it's current price tag is 350 million dollars😅
When in a few hours they lower the price.
They always put it on the site with IRL price before release. Somewhere in the evening (Zulu time), it will be reduced to the real price.
Uhhhh… convince the bank to give you a really, really big loan? It could be hard to do that, though.
You’re in luck! It’s on sale for 349,999,999.99! A real bargain!
@@aadvantagegold5220 XD
After listening thousands of 777-300ER takeoff from the front and middle of the cabin + cockpit, and flying more than 10 times on this aircraft, I can confirm these are NOT REALISTIC and need bug improvements.
I've never understood the insistence by simmers of modeled circuit breakers in modern airliners. Drives me insane. In real life you don't ever touch a circuit breaker, like ever. In fact, most airlines prohibit pilots from doing so (and it's not in any Non-Normal Procedure). This is by far the best addon of 2024.
It will be interesting to see the Flight Factor B777 for x-Plane 12 when it becomes available, so far from the Alpha version that I’ve seen it looks pretty good. Not going to get into the x-Plane vs MSFS debate because it’s like talking about religion but, realism is always my first requirement when buying an expensive add on especially that I flew the triple as a captain for over 12 years. So let’s see what the future holds. What a great time to be a flight simmer!
Do you turn on AI traffic once your airborne? I've noticed in a few of your videos it seems like you have ai traffic off when taxing around the airport, and on your old videos you definitely had AI traffic turned off back when you had your 2080 GPU.
If you'd be kind enough to answer I'd really appreciate it, thank you.
Hello Gregory,
I generally have my AI traffic setup, such that it’s only operating on the ground. Previously, I was using AIG traffic, with only in-sim ground traffic turned on. These days, I use FSLTL and only have a very small number (5 or so) of active AI aircraft actually flying. My primary reason for this configuration, is that there’s nothing worse during a recording, than a taxiway getting blocked, or having to go around due to traffic on the runway etc. so basically, I have static AI traffic at the gates, but not much actually flying around.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations it clarifies things splendidly.
You've always taken the time to answer my few questions I've had over the past years and I very much appreciate it and am grateful.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to me, have a wonderful week.
This is the PMDG 777 review I've been looking forward to.
Many thanks for the kind words, Paul! I do hope you enjoyed the video : )
Much appreciated and all the best!
The real life 777-300er Captain and pilots were not kidding on the PMDG forums. The sounds are really off and not right.
Wtf do you know about the sounds and whether they are right or not?
@@pavelpolskayou don't need to be a pilot to know the sounds aren't right
They're still using the old sounds from P3D. I hear no difference between this MSFS and P3D versions.
@@amirtak9886 Classic PMDG, claiming things are built from the ground up when they aren't.
@@iamjames8200 even the textures on the nose wheel tiller are from P3D.
Those dogs barking at 13:53 don't sound quite right haha
Lol what in the Airbus?
@@UnitedAirlines4Life ah yes, the iconic Airbus "dog bark" that some may regarded it as a myth....
Haha, good pick-up, Ryan! I edited in the welcome announcement and unfortunately, the best one I could find was from an A320 (I knew someone would pick up on the PTU noise though ; )
Cheers, all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulationshave you tried Luke airtool
This is so awesome that a real life pilot is flying flight simulator and this shows how realistic this game is. Thx for taking the time and show us the real work of a pilot.
WHYS IT 324 MILLION
so that people can't buy it yet. they're probably prepping the servers for the overload
Well yeah that's how much a 777 costs.
@@denziiey lmfao imagine if someone buys it ☠️
@@TotRuAv0015 😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
hi buddy i was wondering how do you get them ATC sounds?
Hey Uwu,
The ATC is real-world recordings, which I’ve then edited into the video. There is actually an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after : )
I hope that helps. Cheers and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations How do you gather IRL atc chatter, cuz live atc isnt available in UK i think
Omg...you are costing me a fortune...every plane you demo..i buy....please go on holiday. Much love from Sydney..
Do you know the difference between B777 and B737-900? I don't. Toying around at PMDG site, update and clicking - hope to get rid of fun price, and sale started.
Then --- WOW - the price looks right! $50. Paypaled and start download - unzip I noticed I purchased B737-900.. Wasted $50 - I own the -700, never going to use -900.
Well at least you guys can shake your heads and have a laugh.
Thanks for the review. It looks similar to 767, I am familiar with. I am too old to learn something very different.
BTW - waiting for email confirmation of B777 purchase now. Yes , I triple checked the basket first....
737-900 ER flys different than the 700. You should def give it a spin. Cheers mate.
The Baro minima can be set at a faster speed by holding left click then dragging the cursor further away from the knob
Always wondered how you do that with the camera. So smooth and looks like vr in the cockpit!
Great review! I notice around 14:00 you can hear all sorts of cabin sounds. Is that included or a different add-on?
probably post edited, they're not a part of the aircraft
Fsrealistic does stuff like that
Recorded within an Airbus
If you listen you can hear the PTU barking, meaning this was Airbus recording. So no this was edited
Hello Rick,
Many thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I edited the cabin sounds in myself (for a little more immersion). I believe there are MSFS addons, that will allow one to have these sort of effects in the sim (I’m not familiar with them though).
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )
Did anyone notice how incredible the wing flex characteristics were on takeoff? Looking very much forward to adding this to the hangar.
For those wondering why it's the price of every single one of my organs combined, it's because they're finishing up their Securing Aircraft Checklist before leaving it to the general public 😂. Around Maybe 18:00-1900z, we should get it at normal price
“One of your organs” was the best comparison to the price😭
@@Londres104 Haha thanks 😆
Still upset the last 50 plus dollar addon aircraft doesn't work. Freezes ect... Pmdg fix your stuff too on Xbox
50 50
When is the damn place going to release? They set the price at 324million. They wanna release it at 12am 26th of June? Sigh!
The art is quite lackluster. Nothing that blows you away really. Sounds are underwhelming, the materials in the cockpit look cartoonish/painted and there are animations (like wipers that look very low fps).
Your review is the most important for me! So, thank you! Best regards dear ITBS!
Well, that’s very kind of you to say, Johann! My absolute pleasure on the video - I do hope you enjoyed it : )
Many thanks and all the best!
The only RUclipsr with a proper POV :-)
I am curious why you wait until 30% N2 before selecting the fuel control switch to run during engine start. With the autostart system engaged, the EECs should monitor all of that for you. The only thing it will not auto shut down for is no positive increase of oil pressure. I mean if that is a company procedure to wait until 30% N2, then that is enough said and a valid answer. I am just curious really and want to know your thoughts or procedures.
Hi Matty,
That was simply user error on my part - I didn’t realise Boeing had gotten clever over the years ; )
My only Boeing experience comes from sims, predominantly with the 737 - hence why I (erroneously) waited on the N2.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
Could anyone help me with a problem I’m having? I plug my controller into my pc and start the game and all the controller binds are empty. Seems everything is erased so the controller has no input
does anyone know what is wrong with the price of $324,999,999.99 ...I don't wanne buy the real plane 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At last a proper review. Thanks. Laughed at your "knitpicking" the woollen covers on the seats.
Haha, cheers, SW! I’m glad the video gave you a little chuckle.
Many thanks for watching and all the best! : )
LOVE that sound, but also, it's crazy to think with the out of cabin window view you are looking at an engine of the same diameter of a 737, just a monstrous engine nacelle. Gorgeous model.
Yeah, there you are with the 777. Was waiting for it. Like always great content!
Many thanks, SP! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video : )
Cheers and all the best!
Woo😮 these guys build this plane really,it's worth the price.pmdg is pmdg,study level machines.
i have a question of how do you turn on the weather radar, i know is not “working” like irl but it looks cool lol
thx!
The first person😊
Sound is underwhelming
Just wondering, if even, what checklist do you use? 👀
Classic PMDG pricing
holy moly the intro is very realistic looking. had only time to watch the intro so far.
exactly the same in FSX and P3Dv5 but the price was not that much high
Was waiting for your video! Nicely presented as always! Very excited to fly this on a long haul route over the weekend, what with the time compression and auto cruise features!
I’m paying 325 million for the 777 idc
It’s pretty epic. Combined with Lossless Scaling permitting TLOD of 400 giving 60fps aloft and a solid 1080p 40fps flying into IniBuilds EGLL same as you (does your vid capture software cost frames? I’m on an RTX 3080/i7 12700k/32GB DDR4), it is along with the BS Duke the best in the sim right now. And in VR the sheer scale of the flight deck really comes across.
I want to know if anyone bought it at its current price haha
They need to sort out that nose wheel
I assume the flickering as you pan around is due to your use of frame generation ?
Quite possibly, TB. I didn’t notice any flickering myself but, there are certainly some visual artefacts as a result of using frame generation.
All the best!
Hopefully the engines are GE115’s not 90’s! 😉😀
Just seen they refer to them as GE90-115 which is fair enough. You don’t need the left fuel pump for the APU as it can draw without on the ground.
Available in the marketplace ?
No it's on PMDG's website for 325M$ right now it should be in the marketplace in the upcoming weeks!
I have a 4090 my graphics look nothing like this
4090…… They should! I also have a 4090 married to a Ryzen 9 7950X running at 5.8 in 4k. Absolutely beautiful picture. Hope you figure out the right setting 😊. Make sure your nvidia graphics is up-to-date.
Great video ! I really like this 777,I have the A320 Fenix and 737 PMDG and my frames are pretty good almost 50 fps with all max to ultra but with this 777 start pretty good but sometimes i see my frames drop to 25 fps and is only with this airplane I think something is wrong
This is great! Can someone tell me if it has crash feature inbuilt since it's boeing?
Not on this as it’s a 777, but the PMDG 737 Max will have a pre grounding version of MCAS to enable it to force the nose down and a click spot to have the door blow off
Just flew from LAX to SFO to try this bird out and WHOA!!!!! In VR this thing is awesome! Thank you PMDG!
What’s your monitor?
You chose reverse no credit in tablet but used reverse on the after touchdown?
Hi Mr Legend,
Yes, that’s not unusual (at least in the airline that I work for); you’re (to some degree) basically calculating a “worst case” scenario and then any performance you have over and above that, is a bonus. Also, if we want to use idle reverse, then the calculation is done with no reverser credit (otherwise, full reverse is mandatory).
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )
Guys. Stop using DX12 😂😂😂
Very interested in this plane, and as always, I come to your reviews to get an honest and informed opinion. You remains #1 for me, and many others I'm sure, as a trusted source of flightsim info.
are all the sounds original?
Hi Aleksander,
If memory serves me correctly, all the sounds in this video are original, except for the boarding announcement and the ATC.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best!
Any chance for a Taog UH-1 review?
Hi UA,
I would certainly like to take a look at the UH-1 however, my schedule is looking pretty busy for the foreseeable future, I’m afraid. The Huey is already on my list of potential future videos though (I love Taog’s efforts with the Alouette : )
Cheers for the suggestion and all the best!
That engine spool up though.... MMMM MMMM!
This or the Fenix if you had to pick one for the year? Speaking for a friend 🤭
Might be wrong person answering ;) But if he/she is more for Short/Medium haul Fenix would be the better choice even if 777 can do medium haul good to ofc.
PMDG is however more fps friendly and i was suprised how smooth everything felt in 777, considering how weak pc i have, almost as smooth as with the PMDG 737NG family.
Hi QQQ,
I would have to agree with Daniel - it really depends on what sort of flying you like to do. If you like short haul, the A320 is the obvious choice (and vice versa). Speaking in terms of pure quality, I think the Fenix A320 still has an edge over the PMDG 777 (though both are excellent addons!).
I hope that helps a little? All the best : )
Good video as always. Do you know if I buy pmdg for msfs 2020 it will work with 2024?
31:30 Those clouds/lighting looks super realistic, wow. Do you use any weather add-ons?
What’s impressive is the music is very close to the BA music. Incredible!
Hey we usually start the engines thanks to the auto start so you don’t need to wait for the N2 to rise to run the fuel ;) Anyway that’s a splendid simulated aircraft and a great video :)
Ever consider making a video about making a video? I stick with stills as I haven't a clue where to start with film. Cheers!
which sofware do you use for screen recording? in replay mode it does not show slats, flaps and gear movement.
How did u get it if it's 325M?
Probably exclusively sent by pmdg
hes rich
I just maxed out the credit card, Avxeryaep! : P
No, as mentioned during the video, PMDG were kind enough to send me a copy, for the purposes of my review : )
Cheers and all the best!
what’s the performance like compared to the iniA320N?
How many nappies were changed during that crossing?
Summer in London, haha.
tf
Haha! Having myself, endured a couple of long-haul trips with an infant, there is a strict no-child policy on any ITBS flights! : P
The rain is good for the garden. So I’m told : /
All the best!
Can you do a video of your graphics configurations? Please
"a bigger version of the 737" ... that sounds insulting lol
Do you use tobi eye tracker?
Hi Soup,
I’m using a head-tracking device called "TrackIR" for the camera movements. It's great, although a little pricey. There are cheaper / freeware alternatives available though, should you wish to give it a go for yourself : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
@Into the blue simulations you may have upset FOQM there.. BAW SOP mandates autothrust whenever operational
Haha! I didn’t have anything bound to my hardware for the instinctive disconnect so, it was just easier that way. Let’s call it a “systems failure” : P
I’m looking forward to my tea and biccies (I don’t think it’s a “tea and no biccies” scenario)! XD
Cheers, all the best : )
325M , I CAN AFFORD THAT !!!
Lucky you, Blind! : P
Can you share the collor settings your simulator?
This was the review everyone was waiting for ✅✅
Haha, many thanks, BKG - very kind of you to say! I do hope you enjoyed the video. All the best! : )
They should add rare ufo 🛸 sightings lol
JFK not swearing at you & not letting a/c on the runway after clearance, so unrealistic.
I guess I might fly one on a Japanese domestic route, but otherwise I'm not sure what I'd do with this thing. That was a nice landing, how many goes was that? :D
Edit: does it handle RNP AR curved approaches properly, or are they still synthesising waypoints?
They have added RF finally!
Haha! Well, clearly there are still areas in which MSFS can be improved. . . Perhaps, when some of the US controllers tap-out due to stress related illness, Asobo can pick them up : P
777’s (and other widebodies) do get used and abused for short haul, in various parts of the world. A lot of Asian carriers do this and some of the Middle Eastern carriers also. BA has a nice little hop in inter-Caribbean as well : )
I can honestly say, that was my first landing with the Tripler haha. True to life though; having never flown a jet previously (at the time), I managed to pull off 5 consecutive “greasers”, when I was given the controls of a 777 sim (Level D). At least, going off the sim, the 777 seems to be a very pleasant aircraft to fly - unlike like the Airbus / random landing generator : P
I believe the addon does now support RF legs. I’ve yet to program one into the FMC though, let alone try flying a procedure (owing to my “schedule”, I’ve already moved onto the newest and shiniest toy haha).
All the best, sir! : )
How did you do the cabin announcements?
Hello Craig,
I edited the announcement into the video (for a bit more immersion). I believe though, that there are 3rd party addons, that will allow one to do this sort of thing in the sim.
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Top marks on the editing then as I assumed it was integrated already. Loved the video mate, great work
Should PMDG keep raising the bar or is just very good, good enough? This may be "study level" but it lacks that magic "feel there" component. On many accounts like sounds, engine response, lack of CBs and lack of class 3 EFB to name a few, this is far from my expectation of having PMDG stuffing a real 777 into our computers and making it feel alive.
Great video once again. Lots to learn in this beauty
