Msfs | 777x

If you own the 777-300ER, the 777X will feel like upgrading from a luxury sedan to a hypercar. It’s heavier, more complex, and visually stunning.

Realistically? We are likely looking at a release for the 777X.

We are finally talking about the .

For months, the "Study Level" community has been buzzing. Ever since Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (and now 2024) matured into a serious platform for airliner enthusiasts, we’ve been waiting for the heavy hitter. We had the 737. We had the 777-300ER. But the one with the folding wingtips? The next-gen GE9X beast?

But when it arrives, it won't be cheap. Expect the "Base Package" (777-9) to land around , with the 777-8 Freighter coming later as an expansion. Should you be excited? If you love long-haul flying—think 16-hour runs from Dubai to Auckland or JFK to Singapore—the 777X is the ultimate machine. It has the legs of a 787 but the payload capacity of a classic 777.

We are hoping PMDG doesn’t just reuse the 777-300ER sounds. The GE9X has a distinct, lower growl at takeoff thrust and a very unique "whistle" on the spool-down. Early audio previews suggest they recorded from actual test stands. Coupled with MSFS’s CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), the flight model should reflect a massive, heavy jet that somehow handles like it’s on rails. Here is the reality check. PMDG is a perfectionist developer (for better or worse). They are currently working on the 747 for MSFS, and the 777-300ER just received its final updates. If you own the 777-300ER, the 777X will

While PMDG has officially confirmed they are deep in development on the 777-9 and 777-8, the speculation is reaching a fever pitch. Here is everything we know (and what we desperately hope for) when this giant finally lands in our virtual hangars. Let’s address the elephant in the room—or rather, the wing in the gate. The defining feature of the 777X is its massive carbon-fiber wingspan. At 235 feet, it’s too wide for a standard 777 gate. Hence, the folding wingtips.
