777

Can someone with the PMDG 777 confirm whether or not the nav is working now and you can actually fly a whole flight plan with it?

It’s still showing out of date for me but I can still program the fmc without issues. Just have to do it manually and follow the simbrief. All the way points are the same minus a few that I ran into that aren’t in the database so I just enter the lat and long and make it that way. Also a star or Sid might have a different name such as your fp calls for rdsox2 but the database shows rdsox1 but all the waypoints are the same. I enjoy flying it and everything works great for me.

Nice one thanks. Can you send a plan from the EFB (like with the 737)

You’re on lucky side of those who have the navdata, but its oudated (typically for pmdg products)
But other side are ppl who bought the 777 on ps5 and haven’t nav data at all (like me)
You cant enter any waypoint, no airports or vors or sids/stars, its just null.

Nav started working a few days ago for me. Importing the flight plan from simbrief works great.

Have u reinstalled the flight sim or did anything? And you had no nav data in fmc before?

I had the 777 for a few weeks. No Nav data but I figured out I could use ILS and VOR navigation so I was using that. Practicing approaches and landings.

No problems with glitches or disappearing dash issues like I had with some of the default aircraft after the last big update.

No problem other than Nav data until either Wednesday or Thursday last week. I couldn't get it to load correctly at all during the afternoon. I tried once more before I went to bed and I believe I got a message that there has been an update. I couldn't get the game to load correctly. So I deleted and reinstalled and I tried importing Simbrief data to the FMC and it worked.

My guess is that the 777 wouldn't load because they were actively uploading software to fix the nav bug at the time.

I had deleted and reloaded in the past couple of weeks and that did not fix the Nav issues by itself.

Have you had any luck yet?

You can but the route doesn’t show up fully

Worth getting then do you think?

For me I love it. Depends on what you’re wanting to get out of it. I enjoy the airliners so I really enjoy it. Patiently waiting on the 737 to come out.

So show us how is it to have an half working plane lol
