Instead of a single person talk you through the procedures, Ben is there to put the speed brakes on and ensure that not only you know WHAT is happening, but also asking the questions so you understand WHY it is the way it is. His inquisitive nature and passion for learning is a perfect fit for this type of production. This is why Ben is there – to be you the viewer. It sounds odd, but then I realised: this is the point. However, it felt like Ben was right there in the room with me as he was asking those questions on my behalf. The problem of course with pre-recorded video is that you can’t ask those questions. As I watched, I found myself wondering the reason why the plane did something or why that was a specific procedure. Throughout your journey from cadet to full-fledged pilot, Ben plays the role of you – the simmer. This is important as it keeps the content varied and allows simmers from all around the world to have their own territory covered.Įach episode is narrated by Ben. Each scenario you’re put in is different, and you’ll exploring the world as you go. Throughout the 20+ hours of content over 24 videos, you’ll shown challenging approaches, short hops, night flying and even dealing with a rejected take off. It was delivered in a way unique to the flightsim community and put you in the shoes of a real pilot taking you through various situations to really test your skills. Both of them covered absolutely everything you needed to know about the excellent plane by Majestic. Some of you may know Airline2Sim from their brilliant Dash 8 Q400 Package programs. This review will be a little different as instead of reviewing something designed to be used in the sim, this has been designed to used alongside as a tool to not only get to grips with the PMDG 777, but to master it. Quite simply, as a study level sim, this documentation will tell you everything you need to know, however, as everyone learns at different paces in a variety of ways, this is where Airline2Sim steps in. And it’s not a surprise when the manual is as large as it is (not the introduction manual, the FCOM itself). Whilst this is great, the depth that PMDG have covered is often overlooked. It’s a great aircraft for those long hauls, and airlines even use them for short hops.

You can be on the runway one minute and cruising at F元50 before you know it. One of the best features of it is how easy it is to get to grips with.

Without a doubt, it’s got excellent features, a stellar virtual cockpit and it performs extremely well. The PMDG 777 is on the best aircraft available for flightsim.
