FOR AIRCRAFT DEVELOPERS
Research aircraft and systems
Find aircraft background, systems descriptions and manuals for the aircraft you are researching. Each note keeps its source and version context close by.
Simulator manuals describe the developer’s implementation. Aircraft background is research-based; pilot accounts describe an individual’s experience. Coverage here is limited to the selected notes and linked resources, not the full contents of every manual.

The 777's flight-control logic is modelled explicitly
PMDG describes custom C*U flight-control logic with normal and direct modes, path and speed management, and artificial-feel modelling. The reviewed 777-200ER product also offers different engine families with their own indications and thrust behaviour. These are properties of the documented PMDG aircraft, rather than a blanket description of every 777 add-on.

Version history is useful technical documentation
FlightFactor's 777 change log publishes selected MCP and CDU dataref types and identifies remote-instrumentation and CDU API documentation supplied with the product. It also records fixes to restored control states. For cockpit builders, the installed version and its supplied API material are part of the reference, not just the aircraft's product name.

Boeing 777 ↗Research-based aircraft background
Boeing 777
The 777 entered service in 1995 after development with input from major airline customers. Its broad cabin and two very large engines filled a space between the 767 and 747. The programme expanded through different fuselage lengths, range developments and engine choices.
The family name therefore covers aircraft with meaningful technical differences. A 777-200ER with several engine options and a 777-300ER are not interchangeable references. PMDG and FlightFactor also implement their own systems, so descriptions remain attached to each developer and version.

The Dreamliner's own cockpit preparation
The linked June 2023 guide predates MSFS 2024. It introduces the 787-10’s display layout and gate-to-gate preparation, but it does not document which workflows or systems changed in the later simulator.

The Dreamliner's own cockpit preparation
The June 2023 tutorial explains how the MFD controls assign systems, CDU, checklist and navigation views to individual display panes. Selecting the navigation display in both panes expands the map across the screen; EICAS can move between the upper displays but remains visible.

Assisted checklists locate the cockpit controls
The tutorial points to the simulator’s ASSISTED CHECKLIST option. Evaluation mode highlights the next control and adjusts the camera, while separate buttons complete an item or a whole page. Its abbreviated tutorial checklists are not identical to every checklist available in the simulator.
