It is the newer aircraft and certainly shows all of the tricks that Flight Factor have learned throughout their development. The exterior of the 767 has much better detailing, reflections, and animations. My other complaint about the exterior of the 777 is that the APU flap is not animated, but it is on the 767 as demonstrated in the following screenshots. On the 767 the cargo doors work, and while not all of the cabin exits work, all of the important ones do. I think what rubs me the wrong way here is that I can open some but not others.
Doors shouldn’t be all that big a deal in a simulation, for example, I find the IXEG 737 perfectly tolerable with no door animations at all. This isn’t bad, but it is a bit of a bummer that I can’t open the foremost and aftmost cabin doors, and the cargo doors are not operable. Here is the 777 with its ground vehicles and all of its doors open that you can open. Let’s start our comparison with the model. The systems depth is greater the model is better, the only thing that I don’t like about it as much is that it has the Flight Factor flight attendant who nags and nags until you murder him by clicking the intercom button repeatedly until you are informed of his death. I’m going to compare Flight Factor’s oldest product with their newest, the 767, and in doing so demonstrate that the times have changed and that at the very least the 777’s price needs to drop dramatically, but what I’d much rather have is a new 777.Īt $64.95 the Flight Factor 767 is better than their 777 in every single way. Those are valid complaints, but they are not my main point here. There are complaints that it doesn’t have the right number of fan blades and that maybe the physical model isn’t perfect. It was certainly before the game-changing graphics cards that we have available to us today. Not a faithful simulation, and not 100% systems depth, but very good at the time. My understanding is that when it came out, it was a great airplane. I’m not sure when it was released, as that was before I started simming.

At the time or writing the 777 Pro Extended Pack which includes all variants of the 777 (the product that I own) will set you back $84.95(USD). The problem with the Flight Factor 777 is that it is horrendously out of date, especially given its price tag. All of their planes were out when I started simming, except the 767, and their 777 was my first add-on aircraft. I love Flight Factor’s more recent products and own all of their products.I am not a pilot in any sense of the word, much less a type rated commercial pilot.The views expressed here are my own, and may not reflect yours, or your enjoyment of the airplane.įirst off two essential things to remember:
This post is a bit of a rant about the state of the Flight Factor 777.
