I think the A380 is going to be one of those plane that will end up with a phase out. I think the best thing about having the 777 now is I think people have a pretty decent rotation of commercial planes to use across the board
My first flight in triple 7 was CYYZ-PHNL. Depending on winds it was a give or take 10hr flight, not sure if that even ranks as a long haul. It was also my first experience with the 777 and all went well. I did find a couple of bugs with it but am confident PMDG will take care of those. In fact the first update just released, I just downloaded it from PMDG operation center.
I have never bought an airplane so quick! I've been desperate for a fully useable long-haul aircraft....and for the cherry on top, it's been flawless for me - didn't see a single bug! Can you imagine mixing this 777 in FS2024 with the walk-around function? Aamazing. The only thing this is missing is flight crew audio. Do I feel sorry spending this money when we have the A380 coming, or the A330 in the next sim? No. You should have seen KPAE on opening day!. My first route was KPAE to CYYZ Air Canada. That being said, I still find myself more interested in seeing what FlightFactor's offering is, with all the extras they throw in. I may end up getting that one too, who knows. But I'd really like the A350. If I really have a criticizm of it, it's the maintenance system - I like many would fly so many different airframes, each would get relatively little use such that the wear-and-tear becomes nearly pointless in my opinion. So a more complex wear system, but one that doesn't tie itself to liveries is more valuable I think. I flew an Air Canada flight and wore the tires on one landing - I might not fly that livery for another 10 trips.
if you name a type of aircraft in the sim, chances are you have a couple of great options, but that’s not the case with long haul commercial. it took four years to get here. the 777 does some pretty short routes across the globe, but it can also do 13000kms, making it very versatile. beautiful aircraft too. no wonder it’s doing so well.
Yes the engine sounds aren’t the best but it’s one hell of a simulation of 777, I love it…. I fly in VR and what an amazing experience for 👍 sure….well done PMDG!
the engine sounds are a disgrace! What a let down, I will NOT buy another plane from them until I hear the sounds. I was wondering WHY they never promoted the engine sounds. Terrible! And YES that matters. 80 bucks USD????
That 777 has the worst sounds coming from a major developer. This 777 shit is so hyped. People will fly it for a week and watch how fast they start to store it in the hangar.

I’ve added over 30 hours on this aircraft since released

Great video. fellas. To answer your question, my first flight with the 777 was from KSFO-KIAD.
It’s crazy how FF just put their 777 without any fanfare.
😅As good as PMDG 777 is…Let´s not forget the upcoming MD11. I´m looking foreward to that aircraft 🎉❤

PMDG 777 sounds 🥵
I flew PAE-EWR United first . First long haul EWR - LGAV Continental
What about A350?
I can see people moving over to the md11 for a few days

I did guess the price tho. Haha
How is this a problem? People just stop whining and enjoy whst you have.
