There is no doubt the Boeing 777 philosophy in this being a great aircraft for simulation in X-Plane. That will save you having to go to the aircraft file and delving through the plugins folders to remember what route "Co" name you saved it under, a nice time saver.
I also found you can now see the Co (company) route to load it into the FMC system. For me this is welcome because you actually had to move you point of view to arm the speedbrakes, a small thing but nice.

There is now also new mouse wheel support (Microsoft C++ redistributable 2013 is required for this to work) for Windows users.Īnother change is that now you click the actual speedbrake lever and not the area by the side of the lever. Side airport map panel looks better as well for quality and readability. Spot light lighting is also improved as you can see behind the pilot's chairs, these lights are well up and behind and buried in the rear of the cockpit. They have gone from a yellowish glow to a greenish glow, but the newer upper images version does look more restrained and more natural. The older night textures looked like this. There has been far more changes here than meets the eyes, but most will be overlooked as we are very used to most of it. The side (autopilot) eyebrow/glareshield form is much more better as well, and finally you can't finally see the outside scenery through the main instrument panel (top under the glareshield) so your eyes are picking off the changes all over the place and overall it looks far better.
At first it doesn't look much different (because it is so familiar) but after a short period of flying the aircraft you do notice how much more sharper and cleaner everything is, notice the active lighting on the buttons and you can see how much more realistic they are, and some areas are based on the textures used by the 3rd party (pumper) that was significant in the redefining of the cockpit textures. So FlightFactor/VMax has redone the cockpit textures and cleaned up a lot of the knobs and switchgear and the right hand side MFD can now be used. But everyone was happy, and what we need in X-Plane is happiness. Even a 3rd party redid the whole lot of textures to which again I couldn't see the really big significant difference? and it was worse on your framerate. Personally I couldn't see the argument to the point of how notably the textures of being that bad, not perfect I admit as were the gaping holes in the windshield. There was a lot of discussion around the cockpit textures since the release of the aircraft, most notable was that they were average or poor. This aircraft is quite mature now (as I have noted in other updates) but the odd tweak now and again does not hurt the design.

This update is basically revolves around the cockpit and not many changes to the flight or external sections of the aircraft.
