This thing is seriously sweet.

How nice is it to finally have some native PMDG in 2024?!

SBGR - EHAM! Flew it a good while ago on KLM

Do you have it running in SU2 Beta? After today’s Beta build and then installing via OC3, FS2024 loading gets stuck for me at “7% - Loading languages …” I’ve tried twice to load the sim and gotten stuck each time. I am out of time tonight to troubleshoot.

Yes, I’m in the Beta. I saw your post on the general beta thread.

For the record, I’ve had no issues loading the beta today, since the update.

(I’m noticing the blasted interior lighting doesn’t work in the 777 during the day. Man, Asobo NEED to fix this lighting thing. It’s gone on way too long. I want my backlit panels, already!)

Okay, thanks for that info. It could be I simply should have restarted my PC or something. I’m shut down for the day but I will try again tomorrow.

Yea I read that earlier. Thanks!

I purchased it when it was available again

That’s good news about the 777 to fs2024 because American Airlines just got rid of their a330’s so I have to now go to fs2020 just to do a long haul flight on their schedule because I was doing every flight out of Charlotte and I’m on the American Airlines seasonal routes now

Say, anyone update their Navigraph database yet from the UFT in 2024? Added my SimBrief alias but the database icon is greyed out, and there is no 777-200ER option in the Navigraph Hub to activate. Thoughts?

I did. Clicked on the database icon and the UFT came up with a prompt, telling me I didn’t have the latest NAV-Data and that I should update. After clicking “okay” I was able to update. I think before doing this the database icon was greyed out, but that didn’t stop me from clicking on it.

Is this in 2024? When I click on the DB icon in 2024, which is greyed out, nothing happens.

In the EFB Setting page, have you confirmed your Navigraph subscription? It might require you to long into Navigraph with your browser and enter the displayed code, or scan a QR code. I’m not in the sim to check right now, sorry.

I was able to set my SimBrief Alias exactly as in the other 777s and save that preference in the settings page. It did not take me through the authentication routine, so perhaps that is what is amiss? Am in flight now so clicking on the greyed out DB icon does nothing. The good news is a routine departure from O’Hare in IMC with live weather on following the same procedure I use in the 77W. Wondering if my Navigraph Hub is not up to date?

BTW no problem updating it in 2020, which I did before starting this flight in 2024

You shouldn’t be using the Navigraph Hub process at all with the most recent versions of the PMDG aircraft. As I understand it, current guidance from PMDG is to update through the Tablet.

Once your flight is over, consider using the Navigraph Hub to remove the navdata, then load the sim and try to update through the Tablet again.

Well that makes sense, as the 200ER is not referenced at all in the Navigraph hub!

Am I to delete all the other PMDG models in the Navigraph Hub? The only balky model now is the 200ER in 2024.

I think that would be a good idea. Mathijs has indicated that Navigraph will eventually be removing the PMDG planes from the Hub entirely. They tried this once but there were some hiccups for some people and they put the PMDG planes back temporarily.

Personally I haven’t used the Navigraph Hub for any PMDG plane since late last year (every 737 variant, the 77W and 77F). I haven’t yet loaded the 772 in either sim however.

fs2024 777-300 not showing up for me in OC3 (purchased 2020 when it came out) (??)

777-300ER is not yet available for FS2024. That will be available in about a month.

Is it still in your OC2? They said it may take time to bring things over to OC3
