The Full List...
|
Totally scratch rebuilt model |
|
Built from
the ground up in Discreet GMax, taking full advantage of all
that FS2002 has to offer!
|
|
Maintenance
Mode
|
|
For the
first time ever, open the engines and look inside, slide open
the Captain’s window, deploy the Ram Air Turbines, open the
gear bay doors while on the ground and pop in!
|
|
Virtual
Cabin
|
|
Bored?
Then get up and take a walk around the cabin! Presently, you
can walk through the Business Class Cabin.
|
|
Metal
glare effects
|
|
Otherwise
referred to as “dynamic shine” or “sun reflecting off the
metal”. See the Sun reflecting off the fuselage!
|
|
Reflective
surfaces
|
|
Almost
all surfaces have reflective textures. See the metal!
|
|
Animated
Folding Wings
|
|
Although
this option has never been purchased by any airline, this
feature is modeled in the model. See the outboard section
of the wings smoothly fold upwards!
|
|
Animated
Flexing Wings
|
|
See
the wing, engine and associated control surfaces smoothly
flex upwards! No more popping from position to position.
|
|
Animated
Hydraulic Pistons
|
|
As
you extend the spoilers, watch the hydraulic pistons push
the spoilers up. As the maingear retracts, watch the pistons
in action!
|
|
Steerable
Nose and Main Gear
|
|
When
the aircraft taxies on the ground, watch the nosegear steer.
Just like the real 777, the aft axle of the main gear also
starts steering once the nosegear steers above a certain
degree.
|
|
Fully
animated engines
|
|
When
the engines are spooling up or shutting down, watch the
3D fan blades spin. When the engines are running, watch
the motion blur. When landing, watch the reverse thrust
cascades open and close smoothly
|
|
Animated
reversers with fan air blocker doors
|
|
See
the reversers slide open, and now, watch the fan air blocker
doors close to deflect the air forwards. Views from the
back of the engine recommended!
|
|
Tilting
and compressed/uncompressed landing gear
|
|
As you smoothly rotate at
Vr speed, see the nosegear smoothly “extend” downwards as
the gears become uncompressed. Then, see the huge main gear
trucks smoothly tilt back and "hang" down as the
giant leaves the ground.
|
|
Dynamic
Wing views
|
|
Look
out the window and see the engines spinning, reverse thrusters
deploying, slats and flaps extending, all fully animated!
|
|
Animated
landing gear
|
|
Smooth
extension and retraction of landing gear. Complex struts
and hydraulic pistons modeled as well. Incredible Detail!
Gear hoses are all modeled and animated! See the
flexible gear hoses move about as the gear extends or retracts.
|
|
Animated
control surfaces
|
|
See
the control surfaces move!
Incredible
Detail! Watch the hydraulic pistons push the spoilers,
or the flap track mechanisms, the secondary rudder in addition
to the primary rudder, and much more.
|
|
Specific
engine types modeled
|
|
The
three engines - Pratt & Whitney 4000 (112-inch fan)
series, Rolls Royce Trent 800, and General Electric GE90
- are all modeled, complete with their specific type of
engine strut. What's more, each engine variant has been
modeled with its specific type of fan blade. The detail
goes right down to the number of blades each type of engine
has and the direction they spin.
|
|
3D
Exterior Cockpit
|
|
See
the "office" and the pilots inside. Note the 3D
window struts!
|
|
3D
pitot tubes and windshield wipers
|
|
Modeled
after the real 777.
|
|
3D
slat, flap, spoiler, and gear bays
|
|
When
the flaps are extended and the spoilers are up, see right
through the wing. See the gears retract into their housing.
|
|
Dimensioned
to accuracy
|
|
Major
and most minor dimensions are modeled to real dimensions.
|
|
Much
more stuff...
|
|
You just have to see it
for yourself!
