Manfred: Aircraft Page Organization Discussion

{{Archives|[[/Archive 2012|2012]], [[/Archive 2013|2013]], [[/Archive 2014|2014]]}}
Welcome to the '''Village Pump'''. This page is used to discuss the technical issues, operations and guidelines of the [[FlightGear wiki]].

: Please [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit&section=new}} add new topics] to the '''bottom''' of this page.

: Old discussion should be moved to a [[FlightGear wiki:Village pump/Archive YEAR]]. These discussions can then be moved to a relevant talk page if appropriate.

== Navigation links added to FlightGear Newsletter header ==

As per [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=25104 request by Michat on the forum] I have now managed to add navigation links to the FlightGear Newsletter header, {{tl|Newsletter-header}}, pointing to the previous and next months newsletter.

So far I have only added it to the latest header though.

Happy browsing! :-)

== MediaWiki updated to 1.24.1 ==

I've updated MediaWiki to the latest stable release (1.24.1) today. There is a small issue with some of the extensions not displaying icons, so some of them have been disabled for the moment. I hope to have them re-enabled later today. Please report bugs if you find any. For a list of changes, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.24

== Support SVG file ==

Is there some securty issues/software limitations (no plugin's installed) why the wiki don't support uploads of SVG images?

== Additional Portals ==
Given the recent interest in doing embedded development related to FlightGear (Arduino/Rasberry PI), I was thinking that we might want to introduce dedicated portals for such use-cases, to keep things neatly organized, but also to provide a place to grow this further - e.g. depending on how this goes, we could have portals covering:
* Embedded/Hardware (including cockpit building)
* UAVs

Equally, we may want to provide sub-forums for these two topics, which should help clean up the offtopic/development forum, too. Currently, the SUPPORT/HARDWARE forum is being used for many of these topics, even though that was originally intended for joysticks/yokes and pedals related stuff - not custom hardware, which would fit better under DEVELOPMENT in my opinon.

As far as I can tell there are roughly 10-15 contributors actively exploring embedded development including UAV stuff - so I guess it would be a good idea for the project (i.e. the forum and the wiki) to provide some structure to "house" such efforts.

thoughts/ideas ?

== Wiki extensions observations ==

Hi all,

Recently I was looking at the [[Special:Version#Installed extensions|installed extensions]], and noticed the below:

; [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SmoothGallery SmoothGallery]
: It appears that it doesn't work anymore on this wiki. For instance, the below code …
<nowiki><sgallery>
Glass01.jpg
Glass07.jpg
Glass11.jpg
</sgallery></nowiki>
: … causes the following error:

: Notice: Undefined variable: args in /home/wiki/wiki/extensions/SmoothGallery/SmoothGallery.php on line 113 Fatal error: Call to undefined method LocalFile::getThumbnail() in /home/wiki/wiki/extensions/SmoothGallery/SmoothGalleryParser.php on line 208

: This could be related to extension's [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SmoothGallery#Fixing_bugs bugs].

: I suggest this extension be removed because
# As far as I know, it's not used on any of the wiki's pages.
# Is it needed?
# Its ''unstable'' as of 22 March, 2015, which means it's broken and shouldn't be used ([http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_status link]).

; [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo EmbedVideo]
: According to the [http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:EmbedVideo&oldid=1447164 page revision as of 16 March 2015], there were XSS flaws in version 2.2.4 and earlier of the extension. It should probably be updated to the latest revision.

== Boeing 777 Cleanup ==

Just wrapping up cleaning up Boeing 777 articles that I discussed a full year ago. All now redirect centrally to that page. This makes for a lot less segregated wiki. Looking at it, it would appear that very little happens on the individual pages and the content on them is relatively insignificant. The stuff that is needed I copied over to the main page. Will try to add some pictures as well.

If anybody has any objections, speak up :)

: It would be really useful to merge the pages ''if'' the aircraft are similar in many ways, for example:
:* All part of the same aircraft package
:* Same or similar usage, for example
:** Keyboard shortcuts
:** Custom dialogs
:** Clickable cockpit interfaces
:* Same levels of system modeling

: If they could be handled pretty much the same way and was part of the same aircraft package I don't think I would have any objections.

: However, if they differ a lot in the areas mentioned above I think it would not be a good idea to merge the pages; the aircraft would be dissimilar enough that the page would have to be uncomfortably long and possibly confusing if it were to describe the different workings.

: If they are not part of the same aircraft package, looking into the similarities and differences and slowly work towards integrating them into the same aircraft package could also bee a good idea.

== Aircraft Page Organization ==
I just started a [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=26161 topic] over on the forum on how posts are organized if somebody has input.

{{unsigned|11:45, 5 May 2015|Manfred}}

: I think it would probably be better to discuss the quality and organization of the wiki right here (on this very page) than on the forum.

: The main two reasons for that is (1) to keep the wiki quality discussions here and (2) that it would be a bit more transparent to do it that way.

: The transparency is important in that it would make it easier to later look into ''why'' things were decided to be in a certain way and ''who'' said ''what'' and ''when''.

: —[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] ([[User_talk:Johan_G|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Johan_G|contribs]]) 08:07, 5 May 2015 (EDT)

Alright, so here goes:

By the nature of FlightGear, multiple people might work on different projects covering the same areas. For instance, there are 2 different projects covering the Boeing 787. This makes overview and indexing very difficult. Wikipedia is designed to only really have one article on a topic (i.e. aircraft) that can be extended.

For instance:

{{Airbus}}

It is dreadfully unclear on the overview of aircraft. In my opinion, it would make more sense to get an disambiguation page on the various 'packages' that contain the A319 for instance. The multiple entries greatly diminishes the value of the list.

Here are a few ideas:
* '''Give aircraft a codeword or project name.''' For instance, the Boeing 787 (Dream Project) or Boeing 787 (GPL Project) to distinguish between them. Then list them like that in the index as well. When you both have a --aircraft= A319 and A319-131, what are you going to do when the next person comes around and wants to design an A319? It would make more sense to migrate to a structure of say B787-8-Dream and B787-8-GPL. If you make a piece of software, you're not going to go calling your software 'Conference Manager', with the next person making the similar stuff calling it 'Conference Manager 2', but rather ConferenceTime and and ConferenceMaster. Naming your work after aircraft in the current way gets bloody confusing.

* I imagine that perhaps as a bit of a continuation of the above, '''people try to distinguish between their models by giving them very specific names, such as Boeing 707-338'''. I realize that people want to work on it themselves, but from a broader perspective, how much technical difference is there really between these? The A319 should also work with the corresponding changes as a A320- it is an identical cockpit and much the same fuselage. IMHO, it should have been filed as an A320 instead with only one model, an A319. As for the Boeing, give it a codeword, such as Boeing 707 (Qantas Project). It even makes it more marketable.

* '''Clearly distinguish between current and past development in the template''', i.e. add a new index on the left that contains both categories. I find that not doing any work on the model in five years qualifies for past development.

The ability to grow is proportional to the ability to handle the increase in information. While this perhaps happens mostly on aircraft articles, what happens if somebody wants a fresh start on that airport scenery? How does he name the page and organize it in relation to the current one? It would have been easier to name both after some town landmark so one the second one came around, you could easily categorise them.

In a nutshell:
* Give all aircraft projects a name after the aircraft type ("Boeing 787"+ Phoenix, Dream, Toulouse...+ Project) to distinguish between individual development.
* Sort all aircraft by model type (i.e. A320) rather than the sub-model being worked on (i.e. A319).

[[User:Manfred|Manfred]] ([[User talk:Manfred|talk]]) 11:56, 5 May 2015 (EDT)

: You have several good points there. I have some thoughts on them (note that this this is only my opinions).
:; Disambiguation pages: This could probably be used on an aircraft type level basis. For example describing the Boeing 777 in general and short descriptions of the 'subtypes' and links to pages with them and any different variants. To some extent this could be given a standardized look by using templates.
:: I think these could be very useful, and I wish there was some of them.
:; The navigation template: Dreadful at least to some extent. I have more than once found them a bit inconsistent and confusing (in particular when looking like the one you showed here). Could probably be remade quite a bit, possibly following the structure I outlined in the point above.
:; Project names: I have noted that a few projects have had names, for example the ''Lake of Constance Boeing 707'' or the ''Seattle'' (though I embarrassingly do not remember what aircraft type that was).
:; Distinguish between past and current development: Probably a good idea. Could possibly be done with color coded backgrounds for the aircraft type text and color coding of the development state field in the aircraft infobox.

: Some additional thoughts:
:* I guess the navigation templates could also be link to the aircraft disambiguation pages when needed.
:* Setting up a style manual for the disambiguation pages and navigation templates would probably be a good idea. It should not be done before some time of experimentation though.

===Action Plan===

It's good to see that we are on the same page. To complete this:

* I propose that we start with the Boeing aircraft as a model project.
* We need a name structure for all aircraft that is universal and unique. Otherwise the reorganization will be in vain. As suggested earlier, along the lines of [Manufacturer, Model, Project Name]. The problem is that last one. I called the 787 'GPL' and 'Dreamliner' but I don't like any of those and would much rather give them something that is really not connected to any other aircraft of the name it itself. I'd propose 'Seattle' and 'Firebird' but I don't want to go renaming all the aircraft myself. I think it's something the developers should come up with. The aircraft would not be renamed A319 Toulouse Project, because the fact that it is an A319 is insignificant in that it uses much the same fuselage and identical cockpit as the A320. Only a significant model code should be included. Less of a problem with Boeing but this has to work everywhere.
* I am really not sure about putting the background history on a separate page and I'm tempted to say we should leave that to Wikipedia. I think it would be better just to make it to a disambiguation page.

[[User:Manfred|Manfred]] ([[User talk:Manfred|talk]]) 16:38, 5 May 2015 (EDT)

: For the disambiguation pages I was more thinking along the lines of for example [[Boeing 707]] ([http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Boeing_707&oldid=63942 permalink]) and [[Boeing 747]] ([http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Boeing_747&oldid=62527 permalink]), but with maybe shorter general descriptions and a one-liner or short paragraph describing each variant. An [[User:Johan G/Aircraft series|early draft of one possible way]] to do it have been added to my [[User:Johan G/In my sandbox|sandbox]].

: To my slight frustration the {{tl|Boeing}} template is more consistent and logical than the {{tl|Airbus}} template (in essence less 'messy'). Some of my thoughts on how to improve it (and probably other ones as well) turned into a puff of smoke when I saw it.

: —[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] ([[User_talk:Johan_G|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Johan_G|contribs]]) 09:53, 6 May 2015 (EDT)

:: While I do agree that disambiguation pages are an important step on the way, they are not the solution to the problem. People working on very similar aircraft differentiate their by minimalistic changes in their model name, but this is subject to change as people add different variations of that aircraft based off the same cockpit for instance. It has to be 'robust' in that regard. That is why the unique identifier in the form of a 'project name' or an equivalent solution is necessary, especially for the Airbus aircraft as can be seen. Even if there's only one model at the moment, since there's no harm in doing so because somebody might come along and start some new work. But giving them a name only here won't be very clear and would ideally occur for all use 'globally' in FlightGear.

Manfred: /* Screenshots */ new section

Hello again Heiko

Iv started working on the md500e, heres a screenshot from blender of the progress so far, http://imagebin.org/58537, its going to take me quite some time! i definitely want it to be as detailed as possible, especially in the cockpit! I was hoping you and/or Maik might want to give me a hand with the fdm? would also like it to fly as realistic as possible! But like i said, its going to take me a while! just wanted to let you know what im up to, and maybe when the time comes we can get it to fly nicely to!

Regards
Daniel

The fact is, Detlef is wrong here (ground vehicles don't bank), but people reading those quotes in this official wiki thinks it is true. The same Emilian already told you. It seems not that you know much about academic research and writing? A lot of it applies here as well when providing information, especially for a wiki.
::::::--[[User:HHS|HHS]] ([[User talk:HHS|talk]]) 19:02, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

:: look, I was really hoping that we could do without any personal attacks meanwhile - like I said several times, I have nothing against you and I do appreciate your contributions.

:: and as has been discussed behind the scenes already: I agree that it would be great if we were able to apply wp guidelines/best practices here (which are NOT based on academics BTW!), but unfortunately we're lacking the manpower to do so.

:: Likewise, it would be awesome if we could apply scientific/research guidelines, but we cannot - and the wiki is not just an "encyclopedia", it is just as much a collaborative platform - one helping to streamline collaboration, not just by creating/maintaining articles, but also by preserving and presenting discussions spread across months, and even years. The devel list, forum and issue tracker are fairly poor tools for this in comparison.

:: Besides, you can expect that most contributors with a professional background in software development will usually hold at least one academic degree in CS or a related field like aerodynamics, maths or physics - so it would be kinda moot, and poor style, to suggest that you'd be the only one "qualified" to judge what qualifies as "academic" (if that's your requirements) and what doesn't.

:: As I have confirmed a number of times already: those pages are not even remotely trying to be "scientific", "research" or supposed to have any "academic value".
:: And I also said that I don't consider them having encyclopedic value.
:: Primarily, those are summaries - i.e. collections of quotes to serve as stubs that are grown over time. And that can be community-edited/-maintained over time.

:: While we should appreciate the fact that FlightGear is a joint effort that brings people together with hugely varying backgrounds, I wouldn't overestimate your own "academic background" here:

:: Obviously, you are unlikely to see people with a Master's degree in computer science/maths or physics lecturing at a nursing school about doing CPR, putting in a central line or how to do fluid management in burn victims via inntraosseous access.
:: Thus, I would hope to keep your own background in mind, and in perspective, here - or at least back up statements that would otherwise seem unsubstantiated.

:: We have people involved in the project who hold multiple degrees, including even several PhDs - don't you think you are embarrassing yourself here by trying to establish academic standards for flight sim documentation just because you are hoping to '''become''' a teacher at a nursing school even though nobody said that we should be having scientific/academic standards in the first place ?

:: As you may have noticed, people's contributions are generally not evaluated based on their academic track record, but based on their merits - and at some point, also on a track record of related contributions - which obviously makes you an authority when it comes to 3D modeling, Blender and helicopters - but doesn't automatically put you in a position to judge the merits of unrelated contributions, and comments made on the devel list or the forum in completely unrelated fields. If something is wrong, then it needs to be fixed - after all, this is a wiki: it would take you ~20 seconds to fix something (even if that just means removing a whole paragraph), instead of starting, and continuing, a childish flame war that would not suggest any kind of academic background at alll.

:: In the scope of this particular discussion, this also inevitably means that we'll certainly honor all feedback provided, but as you can see in other areas (sg/fg and fgdata), those who '''do''', get to decide what to do, and how to do it (so far, Gijs & Johan_G are the only ones to actually address one of the issues here). Which ends up meaning that you can be the change you want to see, but you cannot ask others to do your work for you, let alone expect active contributors to be told by "lurkers" what to do. Unfortunately, things don't work that way.

:: Having quality standards, applying/enforcing them and having article ratings is a good idea - but doesn't automatically address the concrete need served by those "collections of quotes", i.e. targeted at people wanting to get involved looking for related pointers.

:: Seriously, I would appreciate it if we could keep this constructive - if you're having a problem understanding what is said, I encourage you to check out google translate or post in your native language - maybe that will make it easier to bring your point across without getting argumentative.

:: Just imagine for a second that a software developer would show up on a nursing/EMT forum and question all kinds of statements made by EMPs, and then try to substantiate his words by saying that he's teaching CS at a community college - just because some quotes may be outdated meanwhile - would you take that someone seriously ?
:: Honestly, it is beyond me why you prefer to have this discussion instead of either removing said quotes or simply getting in touch with DFaber to see if there's a misunderstanding involved here or not. Your whole demeanor would suggest that you are not interested in solving the problem but winning a debate ? Personally, I could not care less: I don't mind seeing those quality standards enforced, I merely said explicitly that we cannot just remove those quotes without coming up with a workaround that works equally well for presenting and preserving frequently raised topics, to provide for a graceful entry point for newcomers interested in certain topics/areas of the project. And please keep in mind that many of those articles are about features/areas that I am not the slightest bit involved in - so when I spend 20 minutes summarizing repeated discussions, it's mainly so that we can harness the little manpower we have.

==DO328==
Hi! 
Ich hoffe das hier ist die richtige Seite um auf dein Kommentar in meinem User Talk zu antworten (ich hab das mit dem Wiki noch nicht ganz so verstanden). 
Zum 1. Punkt: Ich hab darum gebeten, dass die 727-Developer sich melden, weil ich nicht herausfinden konnte, wer diese sind, sodass ich sie nicht kontaktieren konnte. 
Nun beschreibst du im Rest noch wie viel Arbeit du in die DO328 gesteckt hast. Ich kann jedoch nicht verstehen warum du ein Flugzeug, dass schon so viel Zeit "verbraucht" hat, einfach löschen willst. So wie ich das verstehe, ist das Flugzeug noch nicht perfekt (ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass es sehr schwierig bis unmöglich ist, ein perfektes FDM in einem Flugsimulator zu erstellen), jedoch schon in einem sehr guten Zustand. Also wäre es doch sehr schade, dass dieses Projekt einfach gelöscht wird, obwohl schon so viel Zeit hineingesteckt wurde. Wenn du aus beruflichen oder sonstigen Gründen keine Zeit/Kraft hast, dieses Projekt zu koordinieren, dann gib doch bitte die bisher erstellten Daten an die Community weiter, damit deine Arbeit nicht einfach im Nichts verschwindet.
Viele Grüße 
D-ECHO 
:Hi,
:Es sind nicht viele Entwickler im Forum, ich selber z.B. lese nur ab und zu, bin nicht mehr regsitriert und werde es auch nicht mehr. Gerade wegen den dämlichen Diskussionen. Für Kontaktanfragen zu Modellen ist die Mailing-list der entsprechnde Ort, da fast jeder Dveloiper die Mailing-List verfolgt.
:Ich habe nur die Repository der Dornier 328 gelöscht, die Daten sind auf meinem Rechner. Was gestoppt ist, ist die Entwicklung selber. Klar ist ein perfektes FDM nicht möglich. Aber es sollte zumindest plausibel sein (flugfähig --> nutzbar --> plausibel --> realistisch--> entspricht in allem dem Original)
:Daten an die Community weitergeben habe ich anfangs erachtet. Musste aber bei anderen feststellen, das oft auch Unfug mit betrieben wurde. Ich habe eben viel Arbeit reingesteckt, und die möchte ich dann aber auch nicht mißbraucht sehen. Und dann ist da was, was in der ganzen Diskussion um FGMembers eben vergessen wird (wobei Detlef Faber dies sogar deutlich nannte): es geht um Austausch und Kommunikation und einen gewissen Respekt gegenüber den Autoren und deren Zielen. Was beabsichtigte der Originalautor, was für Ziele hatte er, und welche Informationen hat er gesammelt? Das fehlt mir in der Community. OpenSource heißt nicht einfach blind etwas übernehmen.
:Momentan warte ich mal ab, was sich tut. Ich sehe es so, Wenn jemand ernsthaft das Modell weiterentwicklen will, dann wird er sich melden.
:Grüße HHS

::Darf man fragen, welcher "Unsinn" mit deinen Daten angestellt wurde? Und in welchem Zustand sich das Flugzeug im Moment nun eigentlich befindet?

:I'm using a rather weak laptop as well. Tree range set down to 3000, no random buildings and objects, cloud density 25%, with all shader sliders maxed out I only get 7-10fps. Unfortunately my desktop pc isn't much better any more and I'm always surprised to see people with 65fps everything maxed out. FlightGear looks indeed really nice, but that costs a lot of perfomance.
:Cheers

== Screenshots ==

Just saw the last post with the great screenshots... perhaps it's an idea to uploading them to the main Wikipedia FlightGear page? Many of those screenshots are several years old and it's nice to present a up-to-date image of the software :) I'm not quite able to squeeze out enough of my setup to produce the same results.

The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven".
The stretched '''777-300''' ('''773''') was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s. The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration.
The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.

For version 2.0, an [[Boeing 777 Tutorial: Version 2.0|updated version]] is available.

=== Start Procedure ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

'''3. jettisonning fuel''' 
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

'''4. using the crossfeed (XFEED VALVE/PUMP)''' 
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

'''5. using the bank limit knob''' 
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit

The '''Boeing 777-200LR''' ("LR" for Longer Range), a variant of the [[Boeing 777]], became the world's longest-range commercial [[airliner]] when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the ''Worldliner'', highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 km). The 777.200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 Boeing 777] (Wikipedia)</ref>

== Variants in FlightGear==
* This variant includes FG 777-300ER Overhead Panel, Liam's Airport Operations, and some Cabin Announcements. Thrust and fuel efficiency has been adapted to the 777-200LR specifications. It also has the 3 optional fuel tanks of the real plane. This variant can be installed alongside your current 777-200ER and your 777-300. You can download this variant starting from this webpage (see link at the right side of the page).
* There is another variant of the 777-200LR, done by the brazilian FlightGear community. More info at [[:pt:Boeing 777-200LR]].

== Cabin Announcements==

The cabin announcements can make fun during the use of the Simulator. They include:

Boarding Music, Welcome, Safety instructions, Message before Take-off, Climb Message, Cruise Message, Serve Hot Food, Serve Drink, Serve Sandwich, Play Movie message, Descent instructions, Before Landing instructions, Message after landing, Emergency Message.

== Aircraft help ==
{{main article|Boeing 777#Aircraft Help}}
=== Start engines ===

The second version of this aircraft includes an "'''Autostart'''" (which is also an Autoshutdown).

For manual start you can follow this oversimplified procedure:

[[File:StartEngines777-200LR1.jpg|270px|thumb|Engine start, step 1—6. (Click to enlarge)]]
[[File:StartEngines777-200LR2.jpg|270px|thumb|Engine start, step 7—9. (Click to enlarge)]]
[[File:777-200LR Alaska.jpg|270px||thumb|777-200LR in CathayPacific Colors above Alaska]]

# Turn on Battery.
# Turn on APU knob (click twice, so you hear it starting).
# Turn on the rest of the electrical system.
# Turn on the Hydraulics (all four).
# Turn on all the Fuel pumps.
# After a minute, start the two engines. When the engines are ready:
# Turn off APU knob (press mouse central wheel).
# Turn off battery
# Both engines back to normal position.

=== Autopilot===
{{main article|Boeing 777#Autopilot}}
The 777 autopilot can be fully controlled using the 3D cockpit switches. For FG 2.6.0 use left and middle mouse buttons to turn any switches left/right.

== Liveries ==
The usual liveries of the 777-200 seem to fit well to the 777-200LR. The model is almost identical, with the only important difference of the raked wingtips.

The '''Boeing 777-200''' ('''772A''') was the initial A-market model of the [[Boeing 777]]. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. It is available with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds (229 to 247 tonnes) and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles (7,000 to 9,695 km).

The direct equivalent from Airbus is the [[Airbus A330-300]]. A total of 88 -200s have been delivered to ten different customers as of July 2008.

[[File:Cockpit.jpg|thumb|270px|The 3D [[cockpit]] of a 777-200]]
'''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).

=== Start Procedure ===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

=== Autopilot ===
[[File:777-200_Autopilot.png|thumb|270px|777-200 Autopilot]]
{{main article|Boeing 777#Autopilot}}
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.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

NOTE : The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner has been worked upon and highly improved, [[Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner|Click Here]] to go to the new Boeing 787-8 wiki.

The Boeing 787-8, the first model of the aircraft to see production.The 787-8 is the base model of the 787 family with a length of 186 feet (57 m) and a wingspan of 197 feet (60 m) and a range of 7,650 to 8,200 nautical miles (14,200 to 15,200 km) depending on seating configuration. The 787-8 seats 210 passengers in a three class configuration. The variant will be the first of the 787 line to enter service in 2010.

The '''Boeing 787 ''Dreamliner''''' is a mid-sized, wide-body, twin engine jet [[:Category:Airliners|airliner]] currently under development by [[:Category:Boeing|Boeing]] Commercial Airplanes. It will carry between 210 and 330 passengers depending on variant and seating configuration. Boeing has stated that it will be more fuel-efficient than earlier Boeing airliners and will also be the first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction. Boeing's development of the 787 is also innovative in the collaborative management approach with suppliers.

Until January 28, 2005, the 787 was known by the developmental designator 7E7. Early released concept images depicted a radical design with highly curved surfaces. On April 26, 2005, a year after the launch of the program, the final look of the external 787 design was frozen, with a less rakish nose and a more conventional tail.

Boeing featured its first 787 in a rollout ceremony on July 8, 2007 at its assembly factory in Everett, Washington, by which time it had become the fastest-selling wide body airliner in history with nearly 600 orders. Originally scheduled to enter service in May 2008, production has been delayed and it is currently scheduled to enter into service in late 2009.

The '''Boeing 777''' is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The world's largest twinjet and commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven", it can carry between 283 and 368 passengers in a three-class configuration and has a range from 5,235 to 9,450 [[nautical mile]]s (9,695 to 17,500 km). Distinguishing features of the 777 include the six wheels on each main landing gear, its circular fuselage cross section, the largest diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, the pronounced "neck" aft of the flight deck, and the blade-like tail cone.

As of May 2008, 56 customers have placed orders for 1,080 777s. Direct market competitors to the 777 are the [[Airbus A330-300]], [[Airbus A340|A340]], and some variants of the [[Airbus A350|A350 XWB]], which is currently under development.

== Systems ==

The Boeing 777 is an advanced fly-by-wire aircraft, and the systems are moderately complicated.

=== Brief Overview ===
The video below is a brief introduction of the Boeing 777's new system of the new Seattle Project working with FlightGear Version 3.2 Test Release.

{{#ev:youtube|EoNQ1NpcnMw}}

=== Controls ===
The Boeing 777 series are fly-by-wire aircraft and like all Boeing aircraft have yokes. The signals are sent electrically to the hydraulic actuators which move the control surfaces.

=== Engines ===

=== Autopilot ===
[[File:777-300-APpanel.png|thumb|270px|777-300 Autopilot]]
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.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

=== Start Procedure (Fast)===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

=== Start Procedure (Extended Version) ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

=== Fuel Controls===
====Jettisonning fuel====
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

====Crossfeed====
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

===Autopilot===
====Bank Angle====
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit 

===Tiller===
'''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).

===Boeing 777-200===
[[File:COA777.jpg|thumb|270px|[[Boeing 777-200]] in Continental livery]]
The '''Boeing 777-200''' ('''772A''') was the initial A-market model of the [[Boeing 777]]. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. It is available with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds (229 to 247 tonnes) and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles (7,000 to 9,695 km).

===Boeing 777-200LR===
[[File:777-200LR Alaska.jpg|270px||thumb|777-200LR in CathayPacific Colors above Alaska]]
The '''Boeing 777-200LR''' ("LR" for Longer Range), a variant of the [[Boeing 777]], became the world's longest-range commercial [[airliner]] when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the ''Worldliner'', highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 km). The 777.200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 Boeing 777] (Wikipedia)</ref>

===Boeing 777-300===
The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration. The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.

===Boeing 777-F===
[[File:777F.png|270px||thumb|777-F]]
The 777 Freighter (777F) is an all-cargo version of the twinjet, and shares features with the -200LR; these include its airframe, engines, and fuel capacity. With a maximum payload of 226,000 lb (103,000 kg), cargo capacity is similar to the 243,000 lb (110,000 kg) of the 747-200F. The freighter has a range of 4,900 nmi (9,070 km) at maximum payload, although greater range is possible if less cargo weight is carried. As the aircraft promises improved operating economics compared to existing freighters, airlines have targeted the 777F as a replacement for older freighters including the [[747-200]]F and [[MD-11]]F.
The 777 for Flightgear is based on [[777-200]] developed by Justin Smithies, Syd Adams.

The '''Boeing 777''' is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The world's largest twinjet and commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven", it can carry between 283 and 368 passengers in a three-class configuration and has a range from 5,235 to 9,450 [[nautical mile]]s (9,695 to 17,500 km). Distinguishing features of the 777 include the six wheels on each main landing gear, its circular fuselage cross section, the largest diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, the pronounced "neck" aft of the flight deck, and the blade-like tail cone.

As of May 2008, 56 customers have placed orders for 1,080 777s. Direct market competitors to the 777 are the [[Airbus A330-300]], [[Airbus A340|A340]], and some variants of the [[Airbus A350|A350 XWB]], which is currently under development.

== Systems ==
[[File:COA777.jpg|thumb|270px|[[Boeing 777-200]] in Continental livery]]
The Boeing 777 is an advanced fly-by-wire aircraft, and the systems are moderately complicated.

=== Brief Overview ===
The video below is a brief introduction of the Boeing 777's new system of the new Seattle Project working with FlightGear Version 3.2 Test Release.

{{#ev:youtube|EoNQ1NpcnMw}}

=== Controls ===
The Boeing 777 series are fly-by-wire aircraft and like all Boeing aircraft have yokes. The signals are sent electrically to the hydraulic actuators which move the control surfaces.

=== Autopilot ===
[[File:777-300-APpanel.png|thumb|270px|777-300 Autopilot]]
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.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

=== Start Procedure (Fast)===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

=== Start Procedure (Extended Version) ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

=== Fuel Controls===
====Jettisonning fuel====
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

====Crossfeed====
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

===Autopilot===
====Bank Angle====
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit 

===Tiller===
'''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).

===Boeing 777-200===

The '''Boeing 777-200''' ('''772A''') was the initial A-market model of the [[Boeing 777]]. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. It is available with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds (229 to 247 tonnes) and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles (7,000 to 9,695 km).

===Boeing 777-200LR===
[[File:777-200LR Alaska.jpg|270px||thumb|777-200LR in CathayPacific Colors above Alaska]]
The '''Boeing 777-200LR''' ("LR" for Longer Range), a variant of the [[Boeing 777]], became the world's longest-range commercial [[airliner]] when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the ''Worldliner'', highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 km). The 777.200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 Boeing 777] (Wikipedia)</ref>

===Boeing 777-300===
The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration. The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.

===Boeing 777-F===
[[File:777F.png|270px||thumb|777-F]]
The 777 Freighter (777F) is an all-cargo version of the twinjet, and shares features with the -200LR; these include its airframe, engines, and fuel capacity. With a maximum payload of 226,000 lb (103,000 kg), cargo capacity is similar to the 243,000 lb (110,000 kg) of the 747-200F. The freighter has a range of 4,900 nmi (9,070 km) at maximum payload, although greater range is possible if less cargo weight is carried. As the aircraft promises improved operating economics compared to existing freighters, airlines have targeted the 777F as a replacement for older freighters including the [[747-200]]F and [[MD-11]]F.
The 777 for Flightgear is based on [[777-200]] developed by Justin Smithies, Syd Adams.

The '''Boeing 777-200''' ('''772A''') was the initial A-market model of the [[Boeing 777]]. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. It is available with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds (229 to 247 tonnes) and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles (7,000 to 9,695 km).

The direct equivalent from Airbus is the [[Airbus A330-300]]. A total of 88 -200s have been delivered to ten different customers as of July 2008.

'''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).

=== Start Procedure ===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

=== Autopilot ===
[[File:777-200_Autopilot.png|thumb|270px|777-200 Autopilot]]
{{main article|Boeing 777#Autopilot}}
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.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

The 777 Freighter (777F) is an all-cargo version of the twinjet, and shares features with the -200LR; these include its airframe, engines, and fuel capacity. With a maximum payload of 226,000 lb (103,000 kg), cargo capacity is similar to the 243,000 lb (110,000 kg) of the 747-200F. The freighter has a range of 4,900 nmi (9,070 km) at maximum payload, although greater range is possible if less cargo weight is carried. As the aircraft promises improved operating economics compared to existing freighters, airlines have targeted the 777F as a replacement for older freighters including the [[747-200]]F and [[MD-11]]F.
The 777 for Flightgear is based on [[777-200]] developed by Justin Smithies, Syd Adams.

The '''Boeing 777-200LR''' ("LR" for Longer Range), a variant of the [[Boeing 777]], became the world's longest-range commercial [[airliner]] when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the ''Worldliner'', highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 km). The 777.200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 Boeing 777] (Wikipedia)</ref>

== Variants in FlightGear==
* This variant includes FG 777-300ER Overhead Panel, Liam's Airport Operations, and some Cabin Announcements. Thrust and fuel efficiency has been adapted to the 777-200LR specifications. It also has the 3 optional fuel tanks of the real plane. This variant can be installed alongside your current 777-200ER and your 777-300. You can download this variant starting from this webpage (see link at the right side of the page).
* There is another variant of the 777-200LR, done by the brazilian FlightGear community. More info at [[:pt:Boeing 777-200LR]].

== Cabin Announcements==

The cabin announcements can make fun during the use of the Simulator. They include:

Boarding Music, Welcome, Safety instructions, Message before Take-off, Climb Message, Cruise Message, Serve Hot Food, Serve Drink, Serve Sandwich, Play Movie message, Descent instructions, Before Landing instructions, Message after landing, Emergency Message.

=== Start engines ===

The second version of this aircraft includes an "'''Autostart'''" (which is also an Autoshutdown).

For manual start you can follow this oversimplified procedure:

[[File:StartEngines777-200LR1.jpg|270px|thumb|Engine start, step 1—6. (Click to enlarge)]]
[[File:StartEngines777-200LR2.jpg|270px|thumb|Engine start, step 7—9. (Click to enlarge)]]
[[File:777-200LR Alaska.jpg|270px||thumb|777-200LR in CathayPacific Colors above Alaska]]

# Turn on Battery.
# Turn on APU knob (click twice, so you hear it starting).
# Turn on the rest of the electrical system.
# Turn on the Hydraulics (all four).
# Turn on all the Fuel pumps.
# After a minute, start the two engines. When the engines are ready:
# Turn off APU knob (press mouse central wheel).
# Turn off battery
# Both engines back to normal position.

=== Autopilot===
{{main article|Boeing 777#Autopilot}}
The 777 autopilot can be fully controlled using the 3D cockpit switches. For FG 2.6.0 use left and middle mouse buttons to turn any switches left/right.

== Liveries ==
The usual liveries of the 777-200 seem to fit well to the 777-200LR. The model is almost identical, with the only important difference of the raked wingtips.

For version 2.0, an [[Boeing 777 Tutorial: Version 2.0|updated version]] is available.

=== Start Procedure ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

'''3. jettisonning fuel''' 
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

'''4. using the crossfeed (XFEED VALVE/PUMP)''' 
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

'''5. using the bank limit knob''' 
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit

The freighter has a range of 4,900 nmi (9,070 km) at maximum payload, although greater range is possible if less cargo weight is carried. As the aircraft promises improved operating economics compared to existing freighters, airlines have targeted the 777F as a replacement for older freighters including the [[747-200]]F and [[MD-11]]F.
The 777 for Flightgear is based on [[777-200]] developed by Justin Smithies, Syd Adams.

The '''Boeing 777-200''' ('''772A''') was the initial A-market model of the [[Boeing 777]]. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. It is available with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds (229 to 247 tonnes) and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles (7,000 to 9,695 km).

The direct equivalent from Airbus is the [[Airbus A330-300]]. A total of 88 -200s have been delivered to ten different customers as of July 2008.

[[File:Cockpit.jpg|thumb|270px|The 3D [[cockpit]] of a 777-200]]
'''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).

=== Start Procedure ===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

=== Autopilot ===
[[File:777-200_Autopilot.png|thumb|270px|777-200 Autopilot]]
{{main article|Boeing 777#Autopilot}}
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.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

* '''Autopilot using LNAV/VNAV e.g. From KATL to KMIA.'''
# Location->Position Aircraft On Ground. Enter KATL to Airport and select Runway 09L then press Go To Airport.
# Press BATTERY button on OHP then rotate APU knob to START. This switch automatically spring back to ON. Press APU GEN button if its not on.

The '''Boeing 777-200LR''' ("LR" for Longer Range), a variant of the [[Boeing 777]], became the world's longest-range commercial [[airliner]] when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the ''Worldliner'', highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 km). The 777.200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 Boeing 777] (Wikipedia)</ref>

== Variants in FlightGear==
* This variant includes FG 777-300ER Overhead Panel, Liam's Airport Operations, and some Cabin Announcements. Thrust and fuel efficiency has been adapted to the 777-200LR specifications. It also has the 3 optional fuel tanks of the real plane. This variant can be installed alongside your current 777-200ER and your 777-300. You can download this variant starting from this webpage (see link at the right side of the page).
* There is another variant of the 777-200LR, done by the brazilian FlightGear community. More info at [[:pt:Boeing 777-200LR]].

== Cabin Announcements==

The cabin announcements can make fun during the use of the Simulator. They include:

Boarding Music, Welcome, Safety instructions, Message before Take-off, Climb Message, Cruise Message, Serve Hot Food, Serve Drink, Serve Sandwich, Play Movie message, Descent instructions, Before Landing instructions, Message after landing, Emergency Message.

[[File:777-200LR Alaska.jpg|270px||thumb|777-200LR in CathayPacific Colors above Alaska]]

# Turn on Battery.
# Turn on APU knob (click twice, so you hear it starting).
# Turn on the rest of the electrical system.
# Turn on the Hydraulics (all four).
# Turn on all the Fuel pumps.
# After a minute, start the two engines. When the engines are ready:
# Turn off APU knob (press mouse central wheel).
# Turn off battery
# Both engines back to normal position.

=== Autopilot===
{{main article|Boeing 777#Autopilot}}
The 777 autopilot can be fully controlled using the 3D cockpit switches. For FG 2.6.0 use left and middle mouse buttons to turn any switches left/right.

== Liveries ==
The usual liveries of the 777-200 seem to fit well to the 777-200LR. The model is almost identical, with the only important difference of the raked wingtips.

The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven".
The stretched '''777-300''' ('''773''') was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s. The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration.
The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.

For version 2.0, an [[Boeing 777 Tutorial: Version 2.0|updated version]] is available.

=== Start Procedure ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

'''3. jettisonning fuel''' 
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank)

The '''Boeing 777''' is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The world's largest twinjet and commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven", it can carry between 283 and 368 passengers in a three-class configuration and has a range from 5,235 to 9,450 [[nautical mile]]s (9,695 to 17,500 km). Distinguishing features of the 777 include the six wheels on each main landing gear, its circular fuselage cross section, the largest diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, the pronounced "neck" aft of the flight deck, and the blade-like tail cone.

As of May 2008, 56 customers have placed orders for 1,080 777s. Direct market competitors to the 777 are the [[Airbus A330-300]], [[Airbus A340|A340]], and some variants of the [[Airbus A350|A350 XWB]], which is currently under development.

The Boeing 777 is an advanced fly-by-wire aircraft, and the systems are moderately complicated.

=== Brief Overview ===
The video below is a brief introduction of the Boeing 777's new system of the new Seattle Project working with FlightGear Version 3.2 Test Release.

{{#ev:youtube|EoNQ1NpcnMw}}

=== Controls ===
The Boeing 777 series are fly-by-wire aircraft and like all Boeing aircraft have yokes. The signals are sent electrically to the hydraulic actuators which move the control surfaces.

=== Autopilot ===
[[File:777-300-APpanel.png|thumb|270px|777-300 Autopilot]]
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.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

[[File:777-300-cockpit.png|thumb|270px|The 3D [[cockpit]] of a 777-300]]
=== Start Procedure (Fast)===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

=== Start Procedure (Extended Version) ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

=== Fuel Controls===
====Jettisonning fuel====
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

====Crossfeed====
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

===Autopilot===
====Bank Angle====
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit 

===Tiller===
'''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).

===Boeing 777-200===
The '''Boeing 777-200''' ('''772A''') was the initial A-market model of the [[Boeing 777]]. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. It is available with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds (229 to 247 tonnes) and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles (7,000 to 9,695 km).

===Boeing 777-200LR===
The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven".
The stretched '''777-300''' ('''773''') was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s. The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration.
The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.

===Boeing 777-F===
The 777 Freighter (777F) is an all-cargo version of the twinjet, and shares features with the -200LR; these include its airframe, engines, and fuel capacity. With a maximum payload of 226,000 lb (103,000 kg), cargo capacity is similar to the 243,000 lb (110,000 kg) of the 747-200F. The freighter has a range of 4,900 nmi (9,070 km) at maximum payload, although greater range is possible if less cargo weight is carried. As the aircraft promises improved operating economics compared to existing freighters, airlines have targeted the 777F as a replacement for older freighters including the [[747-200]]F and [[MD-11]]F.
The 777 for Flightgear is based on [[777-200]] developed by Justin Smithies, Syd Adams.

[[File:777-300-APpanel.png|thumb|270px|777-300 Autopilot]]
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.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

=== Start Procedure (Fast)===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

=== Start Procedure (Extended Version) ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

=== Fuel Controls===
====Jettisonning fuel====
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

====Crossfeed====
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

===Autopilot===
====Bank Angle====
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit 

===Tiller===
'''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 '''Boeing 777''' is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The world's largest twinjet and commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven", it can carry between 283 and 368 passengers in a three-class configuration and has a range from 5,235 to 9,450 [[nautical mile]]s (9,695 to 17,500 km). Distinguishing features of the 777 include the six wheels on each main landing gear, its circular fuselage cross section, the largest diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, the pronounced "neck" aft of the flight deck, and the blade-like tail cone.

As of May 2008, 56 customers have placed orders for 1,080 777s. Direct market competitors to the 777 are the [[Airbus A330-300]], [[Airbus A340|A340]], and some variants of the [[Airbus A350|A350 XWB]], which is currently under development.

'''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 '''Boeing 777''' is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The world's largest twinjet and commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven", it can carry between 283 and 368 passengers in a three-class configuration and has a range from 5,235 to 9,450 [[nautical mile]]s (9,695 to 17,500 km). Distinguishing features of the 777 include the six wheels on each main landing gear, its circular fuselage cross section, the largest diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, the pronounced "neck" aft of the flight deck, and the blade-like tail cone.

As of May 2008, 56 customers have placed orders for 1,080 777s. Direct market competitors to the 777 are the [[Airbus A330-300]], [[Airbus A340|A340]], and some variants of the [[Airbus A350|A350 XWB]], which is currently under development.

== Systems ==

The Boeing 777 is an advanced fly-by-wire aircraft, and the systems are moderately complicated.

=== Autopilot ===
[[File:777-300-APpanel.png|thumb|270px|777-300 Autopilot]]
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.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

=== Start Procedure (Fast)===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

=== Start Procedure (Extended Version) ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

=== Fuel Controls===
====Jettisonning fuel====
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

====Crossfeed====
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

===Autopilot===
====Bank Angle====
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit 

===Tiller===
'''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 '''Boeing 777-200LR''' ("LR" for Longer Range), a variant of the [[Boeing 777]], became the world's longest-range commercial [[airliner]] when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the ''Worldliner'', highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 km). The 777.200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 Boeing 777] (Wikipedia)</ref>

== Variants in FlightGear==
* This variant includes FG 777-300ER Overhead Panel, Liam's Airport Operations, and some Cabin Announcements. Thrust and fuel efficiency has been adapted to the 777-200LR specifications. It also has the 3 optional fuel tanks of the real plane. This variant can be installed alongside your current 777-200ER and your 777-300. You can download this variant starting from this webpage (see link at the right side of the page).
* There is another variant of the 777-200LR, done by the brazilian FlightGear community. More info at [[:pt:Boeing 777-200LR]].

[[File:StartEngines777-200LR2.jpg|270px|thumb|Engine start, step 7—9. (Click to enlarge)]]
[[File:777-200LR Alaska.jpg|270px||thumb|777-200LR in CathayPacific Colors above Alaska]]

# Turn on Battery.
# Turn on APU knob (click twice, so you hear it starting).
# Turn on the rest of the electrical system.
# Turn on the Hydraulics (all four).
# Turn on all the Fuel pumps.
# After a minute, start the two engines. When the engines are ready:
# Turn off APU knob (press mouse central wheel).
# Turn off battery
# Both engines back to normal position.

=== Autopilot===
{{main article|Boeing 777#Autopilot}}
The 777 autopilot can be fully controlled using the 3D cockpit switches. For FG 2.6.0 use left and middle mouse buttons to turn any switches left/right.

== Liveries ==
The usual liveries of the 777-200 seem to fit well to the 777-200LR. The model is almost identical, with the only important difference of the raked wingtips.

The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven".
The stretched '''777-300''' ('''773''') was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s. The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration.
The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.

For version 2.0, an [[Boeing 777 Tutorial: Version 2.0|updated version]] is available.

=== Start Procedure ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

'''3. jettisonning fuel''' 
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

'''4. using the crossfeed (XFEED VALVE/PUMP)''' 
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

'''5. using the bank limit knob''' 
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:

* A/P - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* F/D - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* A/T ARM (L/R) - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines
* CLB CON - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* A/T - Autothrottle engage/disengage button- Activate this switch to toggle autothrottle, which works separately from the rest of the autopilot
* IAS <> MACH - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode (for autothrottle)
* IAS window - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here (for autothrottle)
* LNAV - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading) through a series of navigation aids and waypoints
* VNAV - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- not yet working, check http://wiki.flightgear.org/Implementing_VNAV_support_in_FlightGear
* FLCH - Changes FL (Flight Level, measured by hundreds of feet)
* A/P DISENGAGE - Dedicated autopilot disengage button- click twice
* HDG <> TRK - Switch between heading bug and course track
* HDG window - Set your desired heading or course track here
* Bank limits (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning- i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases
* HOLD - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode; holds aircraft at current altitude
* V/S <> FPA - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle (degree climb/descent)
* V/S window - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* VS/FPA - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* ALTITUDE window - Set your desired altitude here
* Altitude selection setting (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* HOLD - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* LOC - Track NAV1 VOR, flying by the heading given by the NAV1 radial
* APP - Track an ILS glideslope, laterally and vertically- can be overriden by LOC, HDG, and ALT (i.e. you want to maintain a certain altitude until you capture the glideslope)
* A/P - Engage/disengage autopilot
* F/D - Flight director (explained above)

= Development status =

== Completed ==

* As default 777-200ER for FlightGear 2.0 and 3.0

== To-do ==

* Fix NAV and Strobe lights alignment.
* FDM tweaking.
* Make and set Cathay Pacific livery (-300) and Air France (-300ER) livery as default.

The 777 Freighter (777F) is an all-cargo version of the twinjet, and shares features with the -200LR; these include its airframe, engines, and fuel capacity. With a maximum payload of 226,000 lb (103,000 kg), cargo capacity is similar to the 243,000 lb (110,000 kg) of the 747-200F. The freighter has a range of 4,900 nmi (9,070 km) at maximum payload, although greater range is possible if less cargo weight is carried. As the aircraft promises improved operating economics compared to existing freighters, airlines have targeted the 777F as a replacement for older freighters including the [[747-200]]F and [[MD-11]]F.
The 777 for Flightgear is based on [[777-200]] developed by Justin Smithies, Syd Adams.

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).

=== Start Procedure ===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.

The '''Boeing 777-200''' ('''772A''') was the initial A-market model of the [[Boeing 777]]. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. It is available with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds (229 to 247 tonnes) and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles (7,000 to 9,695 km).

The direct equivalent from Airbus is the [[Airbus A330-300]]. A total of 88 -200s have been delivered to ten different customers as of July 2008.

You can also use the 777's built-in autopilot tutorial to learn about the different switches.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:
* '''A/P''' - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* '''F/D''' - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* '''A/T ARM (L/R)''' - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
* '''CLB CON''' - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* '''A/T''' - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
* '''IAS <> MACH''' - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
* '''IAS window''' - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
* '''LNAV''' - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
* '''VNAV''' - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
* '''FLCH''' - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
* '''A/P DISENGAGE''' - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
* '''HDG <> TRK''' - Switch between heading bug and course track
* '''HDG window''' - Set your desired heading or course track here.
* '''HDG select''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
* '''Bank limits''' (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
* '''V/S <> FPA''' - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
* '''V/S window''' - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* '''VS/FPA''' - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* '''ALTITUDE window''' - Set your desired altitude here
* '''Altitude selection''' (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* '''HOLD''' - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* '''LOC''' - Track LOCALIZER, flying by the heading given by the localizer
* '''APP''' - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
* '''A/P''' - Engage/disengage autopilot
* '''F/D''' - Flight director
==== How to use ====
* '''Default mode of when autopilot engage'''
HDG HOLD mode: Maintain heading when engage.
ATT mode: If bank angle exceeds 5deg when engage, keep that bank angle. (there's bug, will be fixed)
VS mode: using vs value when engage.
If FD mode was engaged, mode is inherited.

* '''Mode'''
Lateral control

HDG HOLD: keep set heading.
HDG SEL: follow the heading set on counter. Change value when HDG HOLD or press SEL button when other mode such as VNAV, LOC mode. Once reach to setting heading change to HDG HOLD.
LNAV: follow the activated route.
LOC: when arming, keep previous mode and then capture LOCALIZER, follow that course.

Vertical control

VS : keep targeted vertical speed to reach selected altitude.
FLCH : keep fixed climb thrust or flight idle and control the pitch to maintain speed thus vertical speed varies.
VNAV : Follow the FMS target altitude and thrust.
ALT HOLD : When you press HOLD button, keep altitude when button pressed. Counter value does not change. Once VS of FLCH reaches targeted altitude, it holds that altitude.

The '''Boeing 777-200LR''' ("LR" for Longer Range), a variant of the [[Boeing 777]], became the world's longest-range commercial [[airliner]] when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the ''Worldliner'', highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 km). The 777.200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 Boeing 777] (Wikipedia)</ref>

== Variants in FlightGear==
* This variant includes FG 777-300ER Overhead Panel, Liam's Airport Operations, and some Cabin Announcements. Thrust and fuel efficiency has been adapted to the 777-200LR specifications. It also has the 3 optional fuel tanks of the real plane. This variant can be installed alongside your current 777-200ER and your 777-300. You can download this variant starting from this webpage (see link at the right side of the page).
* There is another variant of the 777-200LR, done by the brazilian FlightGear community. More info at [[:pt:Boeing 777-200LR]].

== Cabin Announcements==

The cabin announcements can make fun during the use of the Simulator. They include:

Boarding Music, Welcome, Safety instructions, Message before Take-off, Climb Message, Cruise Message, Serve Hot Food, Serve Drink, Serve Sandwitch, Play Movie message, Descent instructions, Before Landing instructions, Message after landing, Emergency Message.

# Turn on Battery.
# Turn on APU knob (click twice, so you hear it starting).
# Turn on the rest of the electrical system.
# Turn on the Hydraulics (all four).
# Turn on all the Fuel pumps.
# After a minute, start the two engines. When the engines are ready:
# Turn off APU knob (press mouse central wheel).
# Turn off battery
# Both engines back to normal position.

=== Autopilot===
{{main article|Boeing 777#Autopilot}}
The 777 autopilot can be fully controlled using the 3D cockpit switches. For FG 2.6.0 use left and middle mouse buttons to turn any switches left/right.

== Liveries ==
The usual liveries of the 777-200 seem to fit well to the 777-200LR. The model is almost identical, with the only important difference of the raked wingtips.

The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven".
The stretched '''777-300''' ('''773''') was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s. The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration.
The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.

For version 2.0, an [[Boeing 777 Tutorial: Version 2.0|updated version]] is available.

=== Start Procedure ===
'''0. remember to''' 
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level 
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne) 
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs'' 

'''1. prepare systems''' 
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button. 
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up 
b1) set APU knob to the middle position 
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both 
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.

'''2. prepare engines''' 
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps. 
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic) 
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on. 
d) turn on both engine generators 
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT 

'''3. jettisonning fuel''' 
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it 
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank) 
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second. 

'''4. using the crossfeed (XFEED VALVE/PUMP)''' 
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat. 
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right. 
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second. 

'''5. using the bank limit knob''' 
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed) 
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit

[[File:777-300-APpanel.png|thumb|270px|777-300 Autopilot]]
Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:

* A/P - Autopilot engage/disengage button
* F/D - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
* A/T ARM (L/R) - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines
* CLB CON - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
* A/T - Autothrottle engage/disengage button- Activate this switch to toggle autothrottle, which works separately from the rest of the autopilot
* IAS <> MACH - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode (for autothrottle)
* IAS window - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here (for autothrottle)
* LNAV - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading) through a series of navigation aids and waypoints
* VNAV - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- not yet working, check http://wiki.flightgear.org/Implementing_VNAV_support_in_FlightGear
* FLCH - Changes FL (Flight Level, measured by hundreds of feet)
* A/P DISENGAGE - Dedicated autopilot disengage button- click twice
* HDG <> TRK - Switch between heading bug and course track
* HDG window - Set your desired heading or course track here
* Bank limits (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning- i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases
* HOLD - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode; holds aircraft at current altitude
* V/S <> FPA - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle (degree climb/descent)
* V/S window - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
* VS/FPA - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
* ALTITUDE window - Set your desired altitude here
* Altitude selection setting (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
* HOLD - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
* LOC - Track NAV1 VOR, flying by the heading given by the NAV1 radial
* APP - Track an ILS glideslope, laterally and vertically- can be overriden by LOC, HDG, and ALT (i.e. you want to maintain a certain altitude until you capture the glideslope)
* A/P - Engage/disengage autopilot
* F/D - Flight director (explained above)

= Development status =

== Completed ==

* As default 777-200ER for FlightGear 2.0 and 3.0

== To-do ==

* Fix NAV and Strobe lights alignment.
* FDM tweaking.
