Just to mix it up a bit, I'm going to use a RAF Nimrod if its heavy enough? (180,000 lbs)
Stick all the way, no autopilot. GPS for Nav. I lurve a challenge, but maybe on the beach first.

Quote from: vobler;395137I will try the Just Flight Freemium 757.

I'll have to give up on this one. I have big troubles. Sim crashes and hangs. Much like it was with the Beech B200 at ENGM. I just have to try the default 737.
Have not had the crashing with any of my other planes/locations. It might be plane/location/scenery dependent.

There is s replacement DLL file that helps reduce the number if crashes, I despite it into mine and I rarely have problems now. I'll try to think where I found it.

I've given up on the camera for the moment, but I will definitely be taking the PMDG 777-200LR tonight.

In addition to Sparko's waypoints, I've added to the FMC:

MDSD SID MIRO2L
TNCM STAR GOUDA

this is what vroute gave me

KARIB UL337 TILIG UM525 MELLA G633 DDP B520 JUICE

 and cause im premium i can download it  straight into the FMC. If you want a copy of the flight plan i can email you it tea? but it will be after work so about 1730

Yep, vroute does not provide you with the route Sparko posted in the OP.    Where did you get it from Sparko?

I'm manually entering the flight plan into the PMDG 777's FMC (part of the 'learning to fly it' process) but was sticking to the waypoints given by Sparko in the OP in case we wanted to fly within view of each other.  MIROX is actually a turn pretty much direct to TNCM, KARIB takes you out a bit further south before turning, but it's not a major difference.   The MIRO2L departure leads directly onto Sparko's preferred MIROX (unsurprisingly!) and therefore that's what I chose.

Entering the route into the PMDG 777's FMC is actually kind of fun.   I'm vroute premium too, so I have been using the fuel calc part too, to help improve my initial guesstimate of "about 8000kg/hr"!

Happy to switch routes if Sparko wants to use the vroute one, we can easily upload from vroute (which I think Sparko also has as he put me onto it in the first place) for whichever route we eventually use.

I definitely used vroute to plan the route but may have selected the wrong AIRAC or whatever it's called.  The route I posted is only a guide so feel free to alter as desired. It's just so we tend to arrive one after each other really more than anything but if there is a better route feel free to use it.

Apologies if it's screwed up your fmc's guys

i thought that using the vroute errr route would generate a little bit of separation as we dont want to arrive all at once as the buggers arent turn on the spot like the small stuff, if we had to hold for instance, but as my last waypoint is the same it shouldnt matter too much

edit the differance between the fsx generated route and the vroute one is about 6 mins flying so not too much of a problem  I think

You can teach me how to load it into FSX then as dumping it in the root PMDG\777 folder seems not to work (or I need to RTFM).

With the climb rate of the 777 I suspect I could leave last and still touchdown first!  I did a EGLL-EGBB flight (light fuel load) and was seeing climb rates of about 6000ft/min. :blink:

I think there is a navdata one within the PMDG folder and it will have the routes for the default flights ie how to fly the 777 tutorial. I deleted all mine and put the route into that folder and it worked. Off the top of my head you need to request route on the one one of the pages and it will show you all the files in the nav folder.

all of the top of my head if you do a very quick google for when do i put flight plans for the fmc for pmdg77 it will show you where to put it and how to activate it

Yep, found that by accident!   It went in the FLightplans>777 folder.   Apparently the 737 has its own folder, so does the 777, but the 747 needs ot be in the Flightplans folder itself and not a sub-folder.  Go figure.
