| You can see a guide on how to fly this plane on [[Boeing 777-200 Tutorial]].
| |
| For version 2.0, an [[Boeing 777 Tutorial: Version 2.0|updated version]] is available.

| '''Important notice:''' as of FlightGear 2.4.0, the 777 has tiller steering, just like the real aircraft where the pedals only turn the nose wheel by a few degrees - to achieve optimal precision during takeoffs and landings. Use the tiller (777-200ER > Tiller Steering) dialog to steer during taxiing.
| |
| * You can also connect a separate joystick axis to the tiller control - just like in the real aircraft, where there is a separate control wheel.
| |
| * Finally, you can also disable the separate tiller control and revert to the unrealistic behaviour of using pedals only to completely control the nose wheel (see 777-200ER > Tiller Steering dialog).

| The 777 autopilot can be fully controlled using the 3D cockpit switches. For FG2.4.0 use left and middle mouse buttons to turn any switches left/right. For FG2.5.0 and newer, you can use the mouse scroll wheel on all cockpit knobs.An Autoland system is going to be available as of v2.6.0
| |
|
| |
| You can also use the 777's built-in autopilot tutorial to learn about the different switches.
