PSS 777

[EHM-1365 Benjamin]

Hi all,

Phoenix Simulations have almost released their new Boeing 777 series (I think it is available tommorrow). They have 3 models available, -200LR/-200LRF/-300ER. After doing a few test flights the other day I was impressed. Now the final public version is even better. Good frames and no bugs .

Here's a taste after a quick circuit a few minutes ago...

Good looking plane with a nice VC but a heck of a price especially with liveries having to be bought. And they are presumably still working on the basis that all TP repaints have to be approved by them before issue.

I'll wait and see what the response is.

hopefully we get the B777 back in the EHM fleet, even personell I support Airbus, but in this case the B777 is much better and should come back in our fleet!

nice pictures Ben!

well...i got mixed opinions about this....

Virtual cockpit looks top draw stuff....
However the exterior looks pretty ugly in my opinion, looks like a beluga
 whale imho;D

looks like a beluga

Yep that's the 777

Plenty of adverse criticism on the forums.

Ok after hijacking another thread:

(http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2109&page=3)

I am going to continue my posts here.

I have purchased the 777 from PSS and have a problem locking the ILS Glide Slope. Horizontal lock (Heading) tracks to the localizer fine, it's just the Vertical (Altitude) lock that does not track the glide slope. So Far I have followed Bruno's suggestion in the thread above, I have followed the tutorial directions for power up and I have decreased the realism settings as suggested in the PSS forum. The next course of action I have taken is to register my copy of FSUIPC to gain the battery protection feature and I am just waiting for an email with the unlock code. If anybody has any other ideas, please post them here.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Phil,

well it may sound dumb, but I had the same problem with the PMDG 737. Then somebody mentioned, at the approach, I should engage all the autopilots, (A+B there) so the airplane can follow horizontally and vertically the glideslope. Until I did not do that, the FMC pushed me into the ground always, so I had to do manual landings.

Hi Robert,

That's what I thought as well as the PSS Airbus uses both autopilots for Autoland and ILS Approaches, but I can only find reference to one Master Autopilot on the 777?

Anyway, I have the key for FSUIPC so I will try it with the Battery Fixed after work tonight.

Wish me Luck!

After the update and a few flights it seems everything is ok.
