Title: 777-300er weight from MSFS (Microsoft store)

Have some way to update officially this? One 777-300er acquired in Microsoft store with 990.000 lbs is not real. I know that have a mod at flightsim.to but is not the same. This mod “broke” the autopilot at climbing or descending altitudes.

I have the same problem and am on version 1.1.4 in MSFS Marketplace? Just purchased this fine plane and the weight is the same as 747?

I am having the same issue with my 777-300ER GE115B aircraft in MSFS2020.  I checked to make sure that this purchase is up-to-date, which it is.  How do I get accurate Weight & Balance for this aircraft?  See attachments - they're the same for the 747-8 and the 777-300ER GE115B I bought.

The Fix 1.3.2 for the 777 ... mod will fix this problem, provide a more realistic panel and more realistic flight performance.

The link for the files, in a ZIP file, are here:
   https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1682002593

You need to install the following three files from the ZIP file into the Community Folder, to get the 777W to work:
   two base files (necessary for all the 777s & 764),
     wlrs ... Boeing-base
     wlrs ... Boeing-Behavior

   and for the 77W specifically,
     wlrs-captainsim-b77w-ge90

If you purchased the 77W from the MSFS Market Place, it is a bit more complicated.  I give instructions here:
  https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1697590840

If you run into problems, report back here & I'll try to help.

Are those folders add to the Community\captainsim-aircraft-m772 folder, or a folder specific to/for the Fix 1.3.2?
I'm just curious because I don't use the Fix 1.3.2, and all of my Captain Sim addons that I purchased in the MSFS2020 Marketplace, are installed in the Official\OneStore folder, not the Community folder.

Hi Markoz,

The required folders for Fix 1.3.2 each go into the top level of the Community folder.  They have settings within them that make them override the captainsim-aircraft-m772 folder (or similarly named folder for the 77W, 77F, and 764).  They change the weights, fuel capacity and tanks, engine thrust, modify the panel to make it more like a 777 panel, etc.  These folders do NOT go into the unmodified Captain Sim aircraft installation folder. 

Generally this is how MSFS works.  For example if you add a CS aircraft livery found on the web (e.g. Flightsim.to), the folder is installed directly into the Community folder, at the same, top level as the CS 772.  If you have several added sceneries installed, they will all be at the same, top level of the Community folder.  Weird, I know! 

There is a free addon on called MSFS Addons Linker on Flightsim.to that enables you to have the different aircraft, sceneries, etc. in a more organized form, instead of all mixed together in the Community folder.

The MSFS Marketplace purchases can be made to work with Fix 1.3.2, but it becomes a little more complicated, as I explain in this thread:
https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1697590840

The necessary folders would then be placed in the same folder as the unmodified CS aircraft, Official/Onestore, again always at the top level.  However I believe they will work if you put them in the Community folder instead.  (MSFS Addon Linker has a way to install folders in Official/Onestore in a more organized fashion.)

Hi Markoz,

I sent you a PM via AVSIM as I couldn't find a way to so on this forum.

I had to go and update my AVSIM details because the email used with my account there no longer exists - my ISP closed it down last year having taken over the original company about 8-10 years ago.
I saw the message you left me, but never got any email to notify me about the PM.

Hi Markoz,

I am sorry I put you to so much trouble.  I appreciate your preference for unmodified installed aircraft. 

Is there a way to send a PM on Captain Sim?  I can't find it.

No real bother, I just forgot I hadn't done it.

There used to be, but it was remove some years ago. Just email me from my email address shown on here. ;)

Maybe I'm a little dense, but I'm not seeing your e-mail.

There isn't a radio button (small box) with E-mail on it at the bottom of my post(s)? Maybe I can see it because I have more rights in the forum.

See attached image.
