Also note that this applies to both instrument lighting and flood lighting.

I exaggerated it a bit in this shot, to show you the different zones and different brightnesses. It creates a very immersive atmosphere.Īlright, how’s that for quick and dirty? Let’s move on to stuff I haven’t written about before, shall we? The very nice dimmable VC lighting. The sound set is also very good, both inside and out. Dimmable in the interior, lighting the environment in the exterior, and all very well balanced. Another amazing feature is the night lighting. There are a lot of great animations to be found everywhere, although they are limited to the functional stuff in the virtual cockpit: switches, knobs, yokes etc… So no moving seats, swinging oxygen masks or books. It is a lot cleaner than the NGX on the inside, which seems to fit this interior very well. The Interior model is just as good, as are the textures here. And it is covered in good textures, a level-up from the NGX. The exterior model is smooth and very detailed and accurate. The installation is easy, and has been proven to work. I’ve been flying the PMDG 777 for close to a year now, and in general my first impressions haven’t changed. If you read the First Impressions which I published about 11 months ago, you’ll have noticed that I couldn’t stop using superlatives. The air conditioning unit, the ground power (‘gate type’ in this case), chocks and traffic cones are part of the 777. The cargo version! Note all the ground clutter: Stairs, cargo loaders and marshaller are part of AES. The answers he provided are very interesting, and are added to the bottom of this review in the form of a short interview for the readers enjoyment.

Randazzo, the CEO of PMDG, has taken some time out of his schedule to answer some questions. When you finish the review itself, keep on reading! Robert S. So the goal of this review in addition to the ‘First Impressions Review’ is to give you a good overview of the product and put the most striking features in the spotlight. That being said, this is too detailed a product to even attempt to cover everything. Apart from a short summary, I’m not going to repeat what I wrote there unless I have something new to say about it or it is a feature I want to focus more attention on. But now that it’s finally there, and I’ve had a chance to test it, let’s take a new look at the product in question.īefore reading this review, I’d suggest to read my First Impressions Review if you haven’t already done so. Waiting for Service Pack 1 for the PMDG 777-200LR/F took longer than anyone, including PMDG themselves, expected.
