PMDG Boeing 777 for Xbox

Ah ok works for you but apparently it has been disabled!! :confused:

Has it been disabled since the weekend?

I believe Mathjis is talking about the PMDG push back has been disabled. Tool bar push back has worked since release for me.

I am on PC but I’d imagine that wouldn’t make a difference.

Xbox/PC.. the same yeah!!

Ex Xbox pilot here so I try to help out when I can :wink:

So to try and help you out, I loaded the sim on the Xbox, bought(already own it from PMDG) the 777 from the MP and tried it with Tool Bar Push Back Pro and it worked as designed. Not as fast as pushing the 737 or A320’s but it pushed it back, followed my planned route. Maybe try reinstalling it?

Hey thanks ,i have uninstalled and reinstalled PB pro and no joy , my plan is in blue for the push back and have tried a few speeds and some very big/wide turns but it just zig/zags/ 360s all sorts.
Works perfectly on the 737 pmdg and the 320 Neo! Just the triple i have trouble with.

Maybe this was already considered, but does this happen at all airports? Or is this an add on conflict with an airport or other scenery add on? Just a thought.

Only happens on the 777 works as it should with the 737/A320N, no add on airports installed. The update note does say improved logic for large aircraft.

Hi please if possible could you screenshot your plan and which airport you was at, i will try tp replicate what you have to rule out an error on my part.

Works fine with me for all pmdg aircraft.

That is good news so what is happening on my side with the 777 any ideas? The PMDG 737 works perfectly and so does every other aircraft except the 777!

Would just like to clarify i am ONLY getting a problem with pre planned pushback for the PMDG 777
ALL other aircraft work perfectly with the pre planned pushback!!
Have tried different airfields with 777 and same dancing around doing 360 and zigzags all over and never stops the push, i have reinstalled the PB tool reset cache, i have no 3rd party airports or scenery add on.
ONLY have issue with the PMDG 777 with the pushback pre planned, manual push works no problem.
I will try a reinstall of the 777 but i cannot see how that will solve my issue but seeing as i am the only person with the issue i guess it is worth ago!!

@TheFalconOne has there been any discussions around the 77W yoke movement animation? Not nearly as smooth or realistic as the 738.

Has anyone bought it purely for the visuals and sounds? Just to have a nicer version than captain sim? No interest in systems.

If so, what’s your opinion on the plane?

I have it in my wish list but holding off for now. I do have their 737 and like it.

Uninstalled the PMDG 777 and tool bar pro and then deleted cache restarted console re installed and no change if i use a pre planned push on the 777 it goes xig xagging again and 360s all sorts
still works perfectly with the PMDG 737!

Share some screenshots of your pushback pro settings, planned pushback rounte, etc.

Not that I know. Will see if it is somewhere in the support database as I have not seen any complaints about it before.

I do not advise you to buy it. Without understanding the systems or the willingness to follow procedures, it will be nearly impossible to use this aircraft. It is not nearly as basic in design as Boeing build the 737. That’s an aircraft from 1970.

Wondering about 2 things:

The potential fix for the navdata updates via the tablet was coming “soon” in an update - is there a ball-park time estimate?

The fuel burn issue seems to be semi-acknowledged, has the source of the problem been found or confirmed, or is PMDG still looking for the cause? Any word on this?

I factory reset my Xbox and did a new install of the 777, and I have not been able to do any long hauls with time compression without running out of fuel (using Simbrief for flight planning). Have not tried long haul without time compression due to being busy with work, but maybe I will try overnight one night
