So I set flaps etc, no FMC today, I can't be bothered figuring it out. The PFD is a little cartoony, but I can live with that, it's not bad. I arm some things for the autpilot - the text "Captain, the auto-throttle won't arm below 400ft" type of alert is a nice touch, I like that too. Right click to view, it works really well especially with the combined zoom from the scroll wheel. Let's take her up.įirst, this camera again - I like it. So a quick look round the plane - the exterior is a bit shiny but passable, and the runway and cockpit (the most important bits) look decent. Why can't I drag or click it? Google is no help initially but eventually I find it's shift+B or ctrl+b. I still can't retract the spoiler, this is annoying. I've not fully explored the FMC though, and it seems to have something missing regarding positions: as I said, not my strength at the best of times.
This is a much nicer experience, though, and the systems feel pretty good.

Also, I can set the flaps and spoiler with the mouse, but I can't work out how to retract them! The flaps I manage with the keyboard. The views are pretty nice, too, but it would be nice to be able to "pop" things like the FMC and charts thingy out like I can with the MFD, but that's not the end of the world. Okay, I can't work a 777 at the best of times, but I get it started before I realise there's an autostart. That's properly nice, I want that in other sims. I turn to look backwards and it moves the camera position sideways, I like this! It feels really natural. Make a Cessna this quality and just make them available at the start.Īnd first really nice thing - the camera. Still not incredibly high quality, but much nicer than that Cessna. The load is faster now, even though the 777 seems slower - no scenery downloading, presumably.Īnyway I load in and this looks more like it.

Most of the advanced settings seem to be about setting up the scenario, but I find anti-aliasing and filtering and slap them to full (i7 5820k, 4GB DDR4 and 970 GTX, I'm assuming I can get somewhere high up the settings, but I'm not necessarily expecting perfectly smooth now) it doesn't seem to like that and takes a moment, but tbh I'm not using the interface right, I can't blame it for this one. I click go with the same settings, then see "advanced" so I'm exiting back out from Windows. I exit and go for the 777 which looks more "ready to go" I run over the KSFO runway into the water which seems to do nothing at first, then I get a red screen telling me I've crashed, I assume. It seems very easy to bleed/pick up speed though, and damn hard to put the C172 on the deck. airspeed physics seem a little squiffy, but I might have just come in way too fast. Somehow I enter a 60x timewarp, but I get that sorted, then I turn to land. I'll try my Yoke+Pedals tomorrow hopefully, for a more "real world" test I want to be able to use shift+numpad to look around though, as having to switch to the mouse is a little annoying. I get flying and the keyboard controls are surprisingly nice compared to FSX/P3D. Not ideal, though - I want to fly the plane with the systems. I can't hide the yoke so struggle to get it going, then stumble on the S button to start thing. The radio stack looks nice, and externally it's not bad if low resolution, but the rest is just plastic. I'll try another bird in a moment to compare. The cockpit, though, damn this looks awful. Love the right click and drag to view, this is what FSX/P3D need by default.
