- Today 10:39 PM
I've just bought the PMDG 777 and decided to do a long haul test flight from KSEA-EGKK. I was convinced that my FSX (as usual) would crash somewhere over the mid Atlantic but to my surprise it held up! I should have taken more pictures but I didn't want to play around too much with this temperamental FSX! :roll:
The graphics are very basic with everything turned down. A low performance machine means no traffic, no autogen with just about everything except the weather turned down to zero. To be honest, I'm probably really pushing it running FSX on my i3 2.13Mhz MSI Laptop but this is somewhat of a preview for the upgrade that's coming (i7 Desktop)
Addons used: (All Add-ons running on a separate networked machine)
GSX
PFPX
Active Sky
Radar Contact
FS Keeper
Aviasoft Electronic Flight Bag
FSReal Time
I must say, I'm very impressed with the PMDG 777 and it looks beautiful in Air-Child colours! I'm probably just scratching the surface with add-ons but if today's flight is anything to go by, we're definitely on the way to ultimate realism. I've edited the pics a bit using Paint.net, mostly adjusting the contrast and brightness to give a better effect. It would have looked nicer if I remembered to set the chocks on and hook up the GPU! :lol:
