Hey garrettprs, I ran SimConnect.msi, got into P3d, picked the 777 and to my shock, I now have full control and real landing gear.

Thank you so much!

P.S. The installer for -300 expansion module prompted me for the location of the FSX folder. I thought that was strange because I thought I bought an expansion module for P3D. Anyway, if you copy the Prepar3d.exe file as fsx.exe, the installer is then happy to install it as a P3d airplane.

As far as I know, the -300 and Freighter Expansion Models are for FSX only, not for FSX and/or P3D.
See the 777-300 & Freighter Expansion Models in P3Dv2 topic.

Markoz,
Now that I look again, yes it does look like the -300 module I purchased is NOT advertised as for P3D.

But in spite of that, it appears to fly just fine in P3D. The -300 autopilot also appears to work in P3D.

Some key combos (shft-5, shft-6, and shft-9) just show a black rectangle so as you suggest the -300 doesn't look to be 100% compatible.

In the topic I mentioned in my previous post, is a link to the modified panel.cfg's that I did to make the 777-300 and 777 Freighter work great in P3D. That way, there should be no black rectangles.

To save you the trouble, here is the link for them: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cfg3vf6vmvxh89m/773%26777F_P3Dv2.zip Wink

Good to hear!

So when Boeing777_300er said that things were fixed upon reinstalling FSX, I bet what really happened is that it merely just reloaded SimConnect.

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me

I've just installed CS777 1.4 for P3D v2.2 and the performance seems really low. I seem to get no more than 15-17fps.

Turning other display options like msaa etc seems to have no real effect. I've tried changing cpu affinity in task manager, which has resulted in the 15-17fps - before it was more like 12fps.

I have all the latest software drivers etc afaik

AMD 8320 8 core OC'd @ 4200
GTX770 2gb
16GB RAM
Win 7

Does this sound right?  Embarrassed

having exactly the same experience. Frame rates in the basement, auto pilot with a mind of it's own, not to mention a schizophrenic auto throttle, overall pretty disappointed.I own the FSX version as well and it ran adequately for me, not so it's PD3 V 2.3 cousin it seems. If someone can kindly point me in the direction of a hot fix or patch I would be grateful otherwise I'm afraid I'll be returning this captain sim product.It's bad enough knowing that I have to repurchase all the products I own for FSX in order to get them to work in P3D. Then when I do repurchase and find that it works worse than it's FSX cousin I go from being a previously happy Captain Sim customer to a unhappy one Sad.

Regrettably, my experience has been similar.

First, the sheer irritation of having to use the smallest display size in order that the magnified speed on the tape is the same as the actual speed.  My eyes are old and dim!

On levelling out in cruise the A/T randomly goes off duty (while still showing a green bar) with the A/P still engaged - usually leading to an overspeed situation.  Re-establishment of VNAV cruise also is random in the sequence that A/P, A/T, VNAV and pilot set speed are recycled or used.

It's impact on framerates is, as others have described,  is really heavy.  It is the heaviest impact of any complex airliner that I have in my hangar.

Mark, I know that you are simply a kind soul who helps us in our times of need, but could you pass these genuine concerns to the CS devs.  I really hope the development of this aircraft has not been frozen or abandoned.

Questions:


777/200 upgrades are free? (I do not speak of the expansions, only 777/200 base) I hope so, I've been told you have to pay, is that true?

As a general rule, all Captain Sim updates are free, as long a the primary number remains the same (i.e. v1.0 to v1.9), but once that primary number changes (i.e. 1.x to 2.x) you will have to buy it.

This is why the the CS757 v5.0 and CS767 v2.0 will not be free upgrades. Wink

you're not the only one who feels cheated Angry Undecided and then 30 euros (minimum) my 777/200 10 fps in maximum P3D 15 and the systems do not work, autothrottle, systems fail buf etcect, to not work well and do not give clear support to solve the problems, (no support) only help other users, so I paid and as a customer I can express myself freely (without insulting clear ) but I like to tell the truth and how I feel (then clear from another update to be paid) my 777 time is the worst purchase I have made, captain sim would have to have this policy: Until this finish the product will not be for sale, ie only cetrarse on a plane and this plane until this finish does not start with another plane

that is, that once I paid for the product, change the number updates to pay!?!? Shocked Undecided (30 euros at the end of the plane costs 400 euros) irony and a little disappointed,in a few words that take 4.5 to say something and hopefully not (do not want to be waiting until age 50) will have to make gold because of me not going to help I paid my product and I want this finished and complete without having to pay, so of course, markoz you would like to buy a car that will charge 2 times one for buying and one for leaving the dealership?

Have a look in the 757 version 4.x (FSX ONLY) forum, and you will see that v4.0 was released years ago (v1.x and v2.x are for FS9/FS2004). The 757 Captain 5.0 wish list forum was started over 2 years ago with still no sign of when it might be released, so I don't think you need to worry about a 777 v2.0 any time soon (it could be years away). Shocked

Ya, mmm but the question is to 2.0 (for example) or get the product without bugs directly (I only time I care about the product that I paid for) my 777, simple, or get the completely finished product, and if have small bugs get a couple of small updates to fix bugs that exist Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh
