Boeing 777-300ER

Jet-Pack (IPACS) · November 23, 2019 at 12:12 AM Official Post

Dear Aerofly Fans,

We're happy to announce one of the many new projects we've been working on! For quite some time it has been the aircraft with the most powerful jet-engines in the world, only surpassed by it's successor. Some say that it's engines have a diameter larger than the fuselage of a Boeing 737 and others fly around the globe with it for more than 16 hours...

It's massive but also magnificent, a very powerful and elegant airliner. A modern and very popular aircraft!
- Drum roll please -

IPACS is now announcing the upcoming:

Boeing 777-300ER

In-development screenshots, the final product might vary slightly!

The 777 (a.k.a. Triple-Seven) is approaching a release state very soon!

Our plan is to bring the Boeing 777-300ER to the iOS mobile market first because of the high number of requests from our customers. And of course we also plan to add the B777 to the Aerofly FS 2 Steam version, either as a free DLC or included in the base simulator (for free), this hasn't been fully decided yet. Release plans for this aircraft for the other platforms are not yet decided, so I don't have any further information in that regard.

The aircraft will feature

a high quality model with very realistic looking materials
multiple repaints including but not limited to: Emirates, British Airways, Air France, American, Qatar, Swiss, Air New Zealand
an impressive sound
VR compatible (like all of our aircraft)
a pretty much fully functioning autopilot like the one in the Boeing 747
interactive EFIS control panel
working control display units (CDU) with some basic functionality like tuning radios choosing v-speeds and thrust limits
flight management system (LNAV/VNAV),
crew alerting system like in the 747 with most of the important warnings
flap load relief system and other goodies...

Excellent news!!! Sing out if you need a hand with development - I have extensive experience ( and LOTS of love for) the trippler. Even though I’m currently on the “dark side” (flying A330), my last airplane was the -300ER and I have more than 4.000 hours on type.

Excellent news, indeed. Maybe you can post some links or make some basic data available for the serious users. The 77W will be so different in size, speeds, weights, etc. that the transitions will need some good training materials. Maybe you could assist in building an introductory flight tutorial.

I've been waiting this Boeing for over two years, finally it comes! Thank you for bring it to us!

Now we have jumbo 747 and narrow-body A320, a modern twin-engine big fella is exactly what the sim needs!

This is fantastic news. Looking forward to experiencing it in VR!

YEEEES! Its finally coming! I am very excited for the handling and the sound of the aircraft, but also about the fact that it looks shiny and not mat like the rest of the fleet! *-*

Will it also be possible to shut down the engines?

We would love to bring this to Mac but there are technically issues on the Apple store that makes it impossible for us to update the base aerofly without uploading the entire aerofly and at the moment this just never completes without an error message. We have tried for two weeks without success and obviously contacted their support but didn't yet get the help we needed. Unless this is fixed on their side we can't do much here, not in our hands we have tried everything. But we have not given up yet on the Mac side, we'll just have to find ways around this.

At the moment turbofan engines can not be shut down but we are trying to get this working as well, this might not be included right from the beginning but there are intentions to have engine start and shut down for the turbofan engines as well.

Hi Enrico, Im Cockpit sieht man auf dem Pilotensitz einen animierten Piloten und der simulierte Copilot (allerdings nicht sichtbar) hilft auch in diesem Flugzeug.

Pilzkopp · November 23, 2019 at 10:20 AM

I would love to have a cold and dark state on that aircraft

Ist der Pilot und Copilot von außen sichtbar ??

Ich würde es mir Wünschen.

Danke Jet-Pack .

Der Pilot ist von außen sichtbar, das sieht man doch auf dem Screenshot oben...

A fantastic additional aircraft, long awaited for a pure IPACS-AFS2 new addition. Looking forward to be available in my AFS2-Steam edition.

Jetjockey10 · November 23, 2019 at 11:08 AM

jan,

How about the simulated fuel flows? Are you going to have “apparent fuel flows” on the gauges? I’m guessing the functional fuel system will not be ready for this one, so will some of the long haul flights be possible before hitting zero fuel?

Is the Takeoff Mass near the Max real world number or set for short haul flights?
