My opinion, just an opinion:
1 I believe that CS knows about marketing products for FSX.
2 As soon as released version 2.0 of P3D, will rise to the CS 777 for P3D and fill a gap.
3 The way it will be done, I have to buy a crystal ball!

I purchased and installed P3D v2 and tried 777. Still same problems remains  no landing gear  and no power,display units are DARK.
What a disappointment,

Ok  I will install CS737-200. :

I was one of the lucky ones...it worked beautifully.

Then my PC died and I installed P3D in my laptop...no go, had to go back to FSX on my laptop but could not run any of my CS fleet.

Finally got a new PC in the last 2 weeks but my CS777 account is locked!!!  Have sent support an email to please unlock it, but so far no response.

As soon as they do, I will load it into P3D2...can't wait to finally fly the big bird again, as well as the 707

Yeah all good, I know Tanya will sort me out, I am getting so desperate I might buy the 777 again!   

Hi all!

Quick question first... those of you who run CS 777-200 under P3D v2 can make the POSINIT function to work?

Now my steps...

1. I've got a CLEAN new P3D installation (no FSX installed and no FSX traces whatsoever)
2. I've installed EMS (Estonia Migration Tool) and enabled Virtual FSX
3. Installed CS 777-200 1.2 and then the 1.3 update
4. Open \SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B777-200ER_GE\panel\panel.cfg
5. Under [Window00] section I've changed this line:
gauge02=Captain_Sim.x777.update!Main, 0, 0,  3, 3
to
\\gauge02=Captain_Sim.x777.update!Main, 0, 0,  3, 3
6. Run Prepar3D v2 in Legacy Mode

Now.. everthing seems to load fine. But whenever I try to use the POSINIT function in the CDU (clicking on LSK 4R and then on LSK 5R) I get an INVALID ENTRY error. Any ideas? Thanks so much in advance.

I concur that Prepar3D v2.1 + HF (hotfix 1) + legacy mode using the Estonia Migration Tool makes the CS 777 work again, but I am not seeing any frame rate improvements in CS 777 V1.3 above Version 1.2. Has anyone else used CS 777 in Prepar3D v2.1 + HF (hotfix 1) and claims improvements in FPS, or is it only in FSX that you are likely to realise any benefit?

I managed to get the 777 running in P3D v2.1 using the Estonia Migrator Tool and running P3D in Legacy Mode. The aircraft does power up but some things are not working. I am unable to start the engines other than using Ctrl + E. Manual starts just do not seem to work. I am also unable to select the majority of the lighting options in the aircraft such as the panel lights and most external lights. When running P3D in error logging mode, there are multiple gauge errors for almost all the lights. Only using the "L" key seems to turn everything on, but the switches in the cockpit simply do not work. Even if they move they are non-functional. It is not possible to control the lighting individually, except for the taxi and landing lights, using the "L" key is a all or nothing deal. Some lighting knobs will not move at all, even though the mouse cursor changes to the hand cursor when hovered over the knob. They did rotate in P3D v1.4.

I believe that this is one Captain Sim aircraft that is a bust for use in P3D v2.1.
