Aircraft Update : Boeing 777 Worldliner Pro 1.9.5 by FlightFactor/Vmax

 

The big twin Boeing 777 Professional Series from FlightFactor/Vmax has been updated to version 1.9.5. This update makes the B777 Pro usable in X-Plane11 (not yet fully XP11 compliant) but this update does cover the important changes of the jet engine thrust parameters that was changed in the X-Plane11beta12 release.

Also with this update is the distinction now of completely separate aircraft versions of the aircraft for both _XP10 (XP10.52) and _XP11 and so you will have quite a few none usable aircraft now showing up in your selection menu. This multitude of versions are now going to grow prolifically as other developers follow this same trend and it is certainly noticeable here and certainly if you have the "Extended Pack" because there are four variants that is now doubled up to eight and four of those are not usable in either X-Plane application. These separate aircraft versions could start to fill up your menus very quickly unless there is compromise found to distinctively allocate the versions of aircraft to the acceptable platform application.

 

The new changelog notes the changes:

 

1.9.5
- split xp10 and xp11 files
- added a fix for xp11 beta engine issues (temporary)

 

However flying the B777 Pro you do feel far more items than on the changelog were attended to, to bring the aircraft to an X-Plane11 usable flying condition. It flies very nicely thank you very much, and the big smile on my face says "I'm glad to have you back", and certainly the option to be able to use the aircraft in X-Plane11 is a very big benefit as well.

Those X-Plane11 features help any aircraft, but the B777 Twin looks very good with it's shiny new skin.

Everyone would feel the Boeing 777 cockpit is a slightly darkish place with all the browns, but X-Plane11 and the new PBR (Physically-Based Rendering) feature does now bring in a lot of life and dynamics to the whole space.

The "Extended Pack" includes four versions (below) of the Boeing 777 Worldliner, and the standard version includes the above Boeing 777-200LR.

 

  • Boeing 777-200 LR
  • Boeing 777-200 F (Cargo)
  • Boeing 777-300 ER
  • Boeing 777-200 ER

 

Not a big update by any means, but at least the aircraft is usable in X-Plane11 until the whole new X-Plane11 version goes final.

 

Go to your X-PlaneStore account now to update to the new 1.95 version (It may note the older v1.94, but it is actually the v1.95) and if you would like to purchase the Boeing 777 Professional Series packages then the details are set out below..

hi stephen, just asking, but does this plane really only require 0.5-1 Gb of vram? because i run xplane on a macbook pro with sh** vram.

 

Actually yes, the FF B777 is by current standards quite basic now and years old, if you look at the file it is not that complex or detailed either, so yes it should work on 512mb, I think I did actually run it on my old Mac graphic card with 512mb, the choice is on your graphic settings...  certainly not the Extended version, but the Pro single aircraft version should fly.

thanks! sorry to bother you with a few more questions: what about the a350 XWB Advanced? how much vram does that need? (it says 1GB, 2GB, which one?) i have 1536 MB of vram on my MBP. and finally, which one do you reccomend? the 777 (extended if i can run it with my vram on minimal settings), or a350 (with the sid/star update coming soon in april)?
