Jack Sawyer Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Yes, according to the 777 training videos the real world pilot who spent the last 12 years of his flying career and now trains new 777 pilots, he said they start them out in the sim inverted. So this was my attempt at doing what they really do. And I succeeded. By the way, this is Orlando Intl. KMCO, does anyone else see trees all over the place like this? And, recovered.

JMBIII Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 No trees a KMCO on mine. But then I've v3.4 not v4. Looks like a ground poly for the airport is missing or below ORBX NA Landclass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I will try and get there and have a look Jack as that airport has big problems. Some excellent caps and some nifty flying too. I have trees all over KMCO too Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Myron the real training pilot, as a test in the videos they did, to deliberately go past bank angle protection they had to shut off the flight control computers, so I thought I'd try it and it works!

CaribbeanCLANK Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Oh Lord....LOL. I am actually in the PMDG 777 right now on my way to KSFO...but I will save the fancy flyin' for another flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy H Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I went and looked at my Orlando cause I really don't fly in there and mine looks exactly the same. Definitely some issues there. I think I have only flown into Orlando 2 times in my entire Sim Career (15+ years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easy to get it inverted but I think the way it handled it would be very difficult. It's just not meant to emulate a T-38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthin. Yikes! No thanks. Have you flown this big bird? It "feels" heavy. I know it has a lot of power especially when empty and low fuel but it's a lumbering giant that takes a lot of room to turn. Just from recovering from that I lost a lot of altitude. I don't think it could be done to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Adam, but I gotta pass on this one. I just wanted to simulate what they do in real training. And though a knife edged pass may be possible in a 777 it'll be too much work because this plane is very difficult to fly like that. It's just so sluggish because it's so big. Maybe someday when I have more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Mr. Nick Cooper replied. We're you able to download the files and install them? If you have any problems getting the files or installing them please PM me and I will help you. Best regards and hopefully we'll see some screenshots soon! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
