Great news everyone!
The Boeing B777-300ER is now available for the PC Version in the Steam Beta Channel!
More screenshots of this beauty can be found in the initial announcement thread:
The B777-300ER is included in the base simulator, so just let Steam work it's magic to update Aerofly FS 2 to the latest beta version and you should be set. It should be right next to the B747 in the aircraft list.

To help us get this beta update into the release channel of Aerofly FS 2, we kindly ask all users that use the Steam Beta channel to do a thorough test of all existing aircraft to see if the changes to the other aircraft may have messed something up. We've already tested it many times but we could have overlooked something.
Please post all issues related to the new Steam Beta update in this thread.
Merry Christmas everyone
