@ I’m really hoping they reconsider. There are still a vast number of people flying on 2020 so logically speaking, it doesn’t make sense for PMDG to undercut their own sales in hopes that more people will buy 2024. That’s literally leaving revenue on the table.
Thanks for being the 1st to stream it.. Looks like the sounds are back to the old 77w sounds before they were fixed. Hope we can copy the 77w sounds over to 77f and it works.. Also vc textures seemed a tad low res.. Or maybe I'm just spoilt by fenix.. Either way excited for this wide body freighter..
@@vin340600 they sound like the same 77w sounds I have in the sim? Minus differences in sound scape with differences of distance to the flight deck etc though my ear will be different to yours, some like them and some are critical of them 😅 glad you're excited and I hope you enjoyed the first ever preview!
I'd give that Malpensa scenery a 7/10. I've only been there once, about 24 years ago, but I still remember it quite well. Considering it's a huge and important airport, I can cut them some slack for it not being super detailed (to help performance), but I do think some of the textures look a bit disappointingly low-res. Nevertheless, it is better than any other Malpensa scenery and I will be happy to buy it once It's working in 2024.
@thordursigurjonsson7441 The 2020 emulator was new after a hiatus since 2004, but the 2024 emulator is not new. It should be released free of problems and not full of problems.
@@johnboy8846 yes flying it is the same as the 777-300ER really, but the environmentals are different (cargo fire systems etc), and being a freighter based on a -200LR fuselage it flies and handles differently to the -300ER too
I personally loved the background music, the only time it isn’t appropriate is takeoff… This is going to be crucial when PMDG unleashes the three headed monster in the -200ER.
Waiting for PMDG to release the 777-200 series, slowly but surely I’m completing the Qatar Airways fleet, soon I’ll finally be able to launch the QA virtual airline project I’ve been working on. Hopefully someone releases a nice OTHH airport to help with that soon
You shouldn't be able to start both of the GE90's at once, only the 777's equipped with the Rolls Royce Trent engines are able to get enough bleed from the APU to start both at once. PMDG should fix that and make it to where the start is aborted when doing that.
To be fair most of these are newer than some of the passenger 777-200s flying about and their flight decks are quite clean still - the one we used in the stream G-DHLX is literally only 2yrs old for example
@@BritishAvgeektrue and fair point. Just saying, personaly would prefer it. However, hard to sed the details on a compressed stream. Will see it on friday. But my point stands, would generally prefer a bit more attention to the textures from pmdg in general :)

@@carolebaskin138 an addon releasing for MSFS 2020 should be a free upgrade? If it's a new product, it's a new product not an upgrade and we spoke about PMDG's statement on FS24 compatibility in the stream too
@BritishAvgeek I had read their statement on it. It seemed pretty up in the air. I'm more than willing to pay for an updated 737 lineup as well as the 773er for 24. I will hold off on purchasing the 2020 freighter as I believe it should have a free upgrade to a 24 version when ready. If not i will just wait until there is a 24 version
@@carolebaskin138 ah I understand your point a bit more now - you mean that as they're releasing for MSFS2020 having now got MSFS2024 launched it should be upgraded for free (but you're willing to pay for the older addons to be updated if it's a nominal fee)
@BritishAvgeek yes sir, I think it would get more people to purchase day one. Let's face it, some sort of fee is necessary to keep paying the bills but this would offer a little goodwill in regards to the freighter.
That's because you fail to understand the differences between the two. One is coded to work within the sim, the other (Fenix) is actually ran outside the sim but fed into it via its external program hence why they can patch it quicker though in an experimental way
Fancy finding a load of routes with great scenery? Check this out:- contrail.shop/pages/flight-network/pmdg-777-freighter-routes?bg_ref=jucOCYzrqb
Cannot wait for this. I have upgraded a lot of my hardware and its definitely going to help fly this big bird.
so PMDG still has no proper aircraft loading section on the EFB. its still on the FMC. a bit dispappointing.
wahh wahh quit bitching..pmdg is still way better
@@conanmavericks4044 it'll definitely be a welcome feature in the UFT if they can make that work for sure
I really hope they bring the 777-200ER to MSFS 2020. It’s probably my favorite widebody.
Unfortunately I believe that’s only going to be for 2024

@@CactusBravo42yeah, id say msfs/fs24 userbase is more or less 50% split. Atleast on steam there are still more peoples on MSFS.
You are the voice of reason! I love the -200ER. I cannot wait for the three headed monster
Updated NavData was the only thing I was worried about, glad they carried that feature over from the 300ER.

PMDG needs to fire their sound guy. All of PMDG sounds are horrible. They need to get Boris

Some of the bugs we found in the stream with the Milan Malpensa scenery have apparently "been fixed already"
Welcome back Simulator 2020👍
Goodbye bad Simulator 2024👎
MSFS was horrible at the beginning, is great today. The same will happend in MSFS2024, will for sure be better than 2020 after few months.

is there a chance that you can Mod custom cargo variations? that would be such a cool idea!
At this stage I don't believe you can

We cannot wait for this at flyfdx-vac. We have a lot of events for this aircraft. Awesome video.
Milan is a great place. You must go
cant wait for this one. and i am curios how much they want for it
Likewise!
777F looks awesome, but airport need some patch floating sign its ok but not more not my standard Osprey aproval ;-)
@@mps_gaming1898 Aerosoft have told me the items/bugs shown in today's stream at Malpensa have now been fixed and will be released in an update soon

what landing rate tool is this?
Parallel 42s Flow Pro for MSFS2020 with the Landing Rate widget contrail.shop/products/parallel-42-flow-pro-msfs?bg_ref=jucOCYzrqb
Similar to 77w, personally not a big of it
If they only improved the cockpit textures a bit. Could look more used for an older cargo aircraft…
@@lupo_aim actually the 777s freighters are not that old

am I the only one to find that PMDG sounds downgraded from P3D to MSFS ?
Watching you fuel that was a little bit painful! 😂 Dazzo might want a word

@SamCooper373 another German Shepherd Dog - this time we got a girl, she's very sassy 😂
Osprey gin when please?
I see the awful sounds still haven't been improved.
who do u call dirty? :)
Cargo dogs 😂
Do you know of a release date for the airplane ?
I mentioned it multiple times in the video. 6th December 2024 "evening time, GMT"
Own all pmdg planes but the 600. A plane releasing for 2020 after 2024 should be a free upgrade. Otherwise there is no point in paying twice

i like how fenix fixed everything for 2024 in 3 days, and pmdg is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
That's because you fail to understand the differences between the two. One is coded to work within the sim, the other (Fenix) is actually ran outside the sim but fed into it via its external program hence why they can patch it quicker though in an experimental way
Fenix runs Prosim. Exactly why you must run the Fenix app while inside the sim.
I ONLY fly Cargo. Hate sick passengers and babies crying 😄 SkyTramp88
The cargo can be more forgiving of a firm landing too 😂
