I’ve been flying the 777 since the PC release and never had the EFB and FMC difference be greater than 1 knot, and most of the time they are completely the same.
As others said, check to be absolutely sure the aircraft weights are the same in the EFB and the FMC, that you have the same flaps set for both calculations, that the weather is the same, and that you have the correct runway set in both.
And set the flex temp…
Exactly. @xisumervoid Thats most likely the issue.
First select the TO/CLB suggested by the EFB (TO, TO1, TO2, and CLB, CLB1, CLB2) and then put the assumed temperature not the other way around.
I am sure that if you put the assumed temperature and the select the TO derates then it will wipe out the assumed temperature value to - - -
If you enter runway wind, runway slope and ground temperature (OAT) into FMC you will get similar or the same takeoff speeds. EFB takes this data from Metar when you import it, in FMC you need to enter these values manually.
Thanks - I saw the yt vid by 330driver and he put the temp suggested by EFB which in turn led to appropriate TO and CLB derates being selected automatically. This is the step I was doing incorrectly.
And the sequence is non-trivial which I learned the hard way, and Ffortuna posted above. When I was entering the temp first, top down as displayed on the CDU, then the derate, I got weird results. When I started selecting the derate first, then entering the temp, it all came together correctly. Was not a big difference really, but it’s nice to see it all hang together correctly!
do the engine covers open on this? also what is the “EE” and “Avionics” access doors? i opened both but couldn’t see what it was doing
Thanks all, the pointers really helped and now I am very well placed with V speeds on CDU and EFB being very close and matching in some cases.
I did my first intercontinental flight from EGLL to VIDP and with 4X feature being a great boon completed it in a lot shorter than predicted 8+ hours. When I finally landed, instead of the airport bustling with traffic, was empty as it seems I hit the sim object limit while flying across continents - which is a pity and something that must be addressed in 2024.
Did anyone see this strange value for trim before? I couldn’t import weather data, EFB was giving me errors about weather not available. I entered it manually based on ATIS. Wind was calm so I entered 000/00. I tried also 000/0 but the result was the same.
It’s happened to me once before, and a handful of others have reported it as well.
After I got the error, I intentionally re-flew the same route, using the same livery, same ZFW and weather and could not get it to recur.
Brake temperatur does not change after landing & hard braking…
I remember the glowing brake discs were one of the advertised features but it’s been quite a long time (maybe never?) since I’ve seen that works.
Is it only me that passed the fix or wasn’t it fixed yet for everyone?
Same here. Only works if you try it at the beginning of the flight, but after a flight upon landing the temperature does not change at all.
IIRC, there were erroneous readings about wheel status and the latest update was the to fix them. Maybe it “fixed” them by taking the simulation of brake temp away. I thought the real fix would follow soon (“soon” perhaps?).
Didn’t notice it works at the beginning of flight. I’ll try braking hard while taxing.
Per the 777 FCOM I’m looking at, It’s to create an intercept to the specified approach, though I’ve never used it myself.
When under radar vectors, it’s common to remove waypoints on the STAR or earlier part of the approach, making the FAF waypoint the active waypoint. This function completes this with one press, and extends the inbound course to the FAF so it can be intercepted in LNAV if required.
Wow looking at the various yt videos on msfs 2024…
I learnt something new today… Wire detail or something like that 
There is like 4000 times more wiredetail in this sim which somehow means more texture in the ground…
When you put that into “my brain” terms…that must means I’m going to be changing those rear tyers alot more often…
Especially when I’m going 15knts around those corners and dragging those boggies over the dirt
In terms of wear and tear, I’m fairly certain PMDG’s 777 tire wear is all custom code, and won’t be affected by the new increased level of surface detail available in FS2024. The primary drivers of tire wear in my experience have been landing rate and then braking intensity.
Thanks, @DrVenkman3876 and @Norman999933 . Gonna fire up FSIPanel maybe tonight and set up some scenarios to test out the [fix]-INTC button.
With 2024 features, it is quiet possible custom code for wear and tear along with dirt accumulation may no longer be needed or may be scaled down.
What I’ve wondered though is how will the dirt be cleaned
