Overland (Simmer's sky) Boeing 777-200/300 PAYWARE

The Boeing 777 is a long haul wide-body commercial passenger jet aircraft. It can carry between 301 and 550 passengers over a distance of max. 17,446 Km. The 777 was launched to fill the gap between the 767-300ER and the 747-400. The first 777 entered service with United Airlines in 1995. Simmer's sky is a label of the Japanese company Overland Co.,Ltd. Along with a few other products, they sell the Fly into the sky! package, which contains many Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Overland's Boeing 777-200/300 model is a highly detailed representation of the real 777. The package contains four different models (777-200, 777-200ER, 777-300 and the 777-300ER) and 7 liveries: Thai Airways, Korean Air, Vietnam Airlines, Aeroflot, Singapore Airlines, Eva Air and British Airways. The 2d panel is frame rate friendly, but doesn't have a FMC. For full IFR flights, you need to use the default Carmin GPS unit. ILS Approaches are no problem, just enter the course/ILS frequency and use the LOC and APPR buttons. The virtual cockpit is a bit simple, only the most important systems are modeled. But it looks nice and is frame rate friendly too. There is also a wingview model for even better frame rate. The flight dynamics are quite good and the landing gear is very detailed and behaves realistic - only a bit floating at touchdown. NOTE FOR FSX USERS: This aircraft is fully compatible with FSX. However, because a few original FS2004 gauges are used by the aircraft in the Fly into the sky! package, FS2004 must be installed on your computer. If you don't have FS2004, it's best to wait for a FSX patch or FSX version of the Fly into the sky! package. Please follow these instructions if you want to import this aircraft from FS2004 into FSX: 1. Copy the folder "SMS_777-200_W", "SMS_777-200ER_W", "SMS_777-300_W" and "SMS_777-300ER_W" (located in the aircraft folder of FS2004 e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\ ) to the Airplanes folder of FSX (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\ ). 2. Copy the files "boeing747-400.cab", "boeing777-300.gau", "PAP744_W.CAB" and "PAP777_W.CAB" from the main gauges folder of FS2004 (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Gauges\) to the main gauges folder of FSX (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Gauges\). Next time when you start FSX, the aircraft should be visible in the aircraft selection list and work fine. If you like to see a thumbnail image for each livery, you need to make a screenshot of each livery of the aircraft and resize it to 256x128 pixels (use an image editor like photoshop, paintshop or whatever you prefer). Make sure the image format is JPG and name each of them "thumbnail.jpg". Then copy the image to each texture folder inside the aircraft folder (e.g. \SMS_777-200_W\texture.THA\ ).
