Think of Air New Zealand ‘The Hobbit’ or ‘All Blacks’ repaints, an Air France Skyteam logojet, Emirates’ ‘1000th 777’,… A very nice selection out of the (figurative) box, and third party repaints are smoothly rolling of the lines as well.Īs for the quality of the exterior, both model and textures, I don’t have anything to add to what I said in my review on the base pack. The best of all is that you get some very nice ‘special’ liveries. It is something that is really apparent when you look at it in the exterior views in FSX.Īnother notable aspect here, is the big selection of official repaints available through the PMDG Operations Center. The 777-300 adds another 10m (33ft) to the already impressive size of the 777-200. The first thing to notice in the exterior, is the added length of the 777-300ER compared to the -200LR of the base pack. If you don’t already own that product and want to get a feel for that as well, read my reviews here: First Impressions Review, SP1 Review.
As with the base PMDG 777, you’ll also use the Operations Center to download and install liveries, as the basic installer only comes with the PMDG House livery.Īs for the rest of this review, I’ll mainly be focussing on what makes the -300ER different from the PMDG 777-200LR/F Base Pack. If updates are available for the -300ER, the PMDG Operations Center will notify you, and enable you to instantly download and install the relevant update. You’ll note, as usual with PMDG products, that activation (using a serial) is not done during installation, but the first time you run the product in FSX. Once your download has finished, all you have to do is run the installer and follow the usual steps. Once bought, you download the 115MB installer from the link that was emailed to you. It sells for US $29.99, but don’t forget that it requires a working copy of the 777-200LR/F base pack to be installed first. The PMDG 777-300ER is (at the moment) only available for FSX, and can only be bought through the PMDG website. Apart from those, it also features a significantly higher maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) compared to the 777-300, and a new version of the GE90 turbofan, the GE90-115B. Compared to the 777-300, it features extended wingtips, structural reinforcements, a new main landing gear, a strengthened nose landing gear and additional fuel capacity. It quickly became the best-selling model in the family. The real 777-300ER entered service in 2004 as the fourth 777 variant. This expansion is what this review is all about.
They released a major service pack at the beginning of last summer, and concurrently they also released an expansion pack in the form of the 777-300ER, the biggest and baddest variant of the family. In the same way, PMDG didn’t just forget about their 777-200LR/F when they initially released it.
