Flight Factor Boeing 777 | Creating map files for the EFB - tutorial.
Here's how you can create the files using Photoshop only.

Note: You must have a Java runtime environment installed and working on your PC for the Electronic Flight Bag to work in the aircraft.

This video is strictly for X-Plane 10/11 users.

Kala04:
I've sent the number on the Gmail Mowarin

Cool.

Kala04:
Mowarin yes please

Alright, go check your mail... And please send me your WhatsApp number.

It'll also be cool of you to post pictures of your flight experiences on this forum.

Kala04:
Mowarin how did you get the 777

The full version was cracked. The Boeing 777-200ER, -200LR, -300ER and the Freighter.

But I only opted for the -300ER variant. Because I loved that one the most.
However, there was a lot of file sorting to be done before I could filter out the parts of the 777-300ER. Because the cracking process kinda disorganized the entire folder containing all the 777 variants.

But if you're interested in the full package , I can send a Google drive link to your mail.

Hi guys,
This is going to be my last post for a while, I'm currently outbound Lagos to London, where I'll catch a connection to KMIA, I'm going to be offline.
Mowarin001,
Continue posting, don't let this thread die! I'll also get some of my friends to view your videos. I'll get one of my friends (who's a youtuber), Airforceproud95(who goes to the same school as me) to sub to you(I'll beg)

Kala04,
If you install your FSX, get Mowarin to explain his to use the mouse yoke. You'll get what I mean when you try to fly the plane with arrow keys, lol.

Safe flight Captain!!!
✈️ Hope to see you actually flying the London to Miami route as Pilot in command one day.

Albert656:
Will check it in the morning Bit can the fsx work very well on a 4gb laptop

FSX needs at least 1GB of RAM so you're good.

Took this photo while I was getting ready for my flight out of Melbourne, Australia yesterday.

Aircraft: Boeing777-300ER
Flight no: UAE409
Route: MEL-DXB
E.T.E: 14hrs 5mins

Actually at this stage I have about 9hrs to go.

folarr:
@Mowarin001 Do you use time acceleration?

No

QATAR AIRWAYS Boeing 777-300ER (QTR908) resting at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport after the 15.5 hour flight from Doha.

folarr:
The plane is an Airbus A310-200F

Okay.

But DHL actually has A300Fs that resemble this.

SafariBoy:
Boeing 777 Freighter

Boeing planes have pointed nose, Airbus planes (like the yellow one) have much more rounded nose.

folarr:
And now the giveaway plane. Note: answers must be submitted before 11:59pm today

It's an Airbus A300F of DHL

folarr:
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of doing a giveaway,
Something like, I upload one of my screenshota, then you guess the airplane type. If you get it right, then I'll send you some flight sim payware, on me
So, what about it?

Sounds good

Flakky26:
is airazman and first nation still in operation?

I know Azman Air is still operational. Check a previous post by folarr and see their newly acquired Airbus A340-600

Kala04:
Can I download it on my phone

No... Your PC is more reliable. Plus uTorrent let's you resume your download if it gets interrupted or even if your PC goes off, without having to start all over again. Just as long you don't temper with the file in your downloads folder or whatever destination you set for your download.

Kala04:
Mowarin the idm fis telling me that it cannot recognize the file

Okay... Download uTorrent on your PC.
uTorrent can download magnet links.

LUFTHANSA Boeing 747-400 from Frankfurt to Seattle (FRA-SEA)

folarr:
What do you mean by 'troubleshooting'

I've been doing a series of test flights in the 777.

It is in this process I can point out the development flaws and then make the necessary changes so the aircraft can be suitable for fully IFR flying.
Thats what I meant by troubleshooting.

Last week I did a flight from Dubai to Frankfurt with the 777 and then I discovered the problem with the LNAV/GPS. So I've fixed it in X-Plane 11 plane maker and I will do another test flight next week.

I also noticed that there was no realistic wing flex incorporated in this aircraft. So I changed a lot of values in the wing and engine obj files. Now the the wing flex is very visible in flight. Just like the real thing.

Hi guys,
I'm currently flying a KLM Boeing 777-300ER from St. Maarten, in the Netherland Antilles to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. KLM don't fly this flight direct because, 9 out of 10 times, a fully loaded 777 (or the A330 they operate the route with) wouldn't be able to takeoff from the St. Maarten runway. The only solution (if the plane were to be filled with passengers, as this flight usually is) would be load less fuel (just enough to fly to Amsterdam) and to fly into Paris, the reason being that there might be delays, go-arounds and whatnot at Schiphol, being a very busy airport, and since Paris and Amsterdam are about an hour away from each other, there would still be about an hour of reserve fuel left when the plane touches down at Paris. But, I took a gamble and let GSX load the plane randomly, and lo and behold, I had only 122 passengers to fly to Amsterdam, so GW was down, and so were my V-Speeds. And also Kala04, I can send you my flight sim, if that's what you want.

@Mowarin001,
They had to pull the plug, Emirates, the largest A380 operator, have placed an order for the new Boeing 777X.
The B777X has:
-Longer Range
-Better fuel efficiency
-Faster cruise speed
So, they had to do what they had to do.

Hi,

I recently got a Boeing 777-300ER for X-Plane 11 as well.
I'm still doing some troubleshooting with the navigation systems, LNAV and HDG mode in particular. I must fix them before I put the aircraft into service.

EMIRATES A380 to Dubai from London Heathrow (LHR-DXB)



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pKgYahpxuo

New video of my full flight from London Heathrow to Dubai in X-Plane 11 coming tonight.

@folarr

Most of our airlines will buy aircraft 3rd hand!!! Pretty embarrassing.
Only Air Peace has placed order for new 787 Dreamliners.
And as for that A340-600, I actually thought it was in the Virgin Atlantic livery until I gave it a second look. LOL!!!

Kala04:
It is actually two B777-300 and one B777-200ER
I can't wait for the Embraer 195-E2 coming late September

Nonetheless, I think deferring the Boeing 747-8 orders was a smart move tho, not a lot of people travel out of this country a lot.

folarr:
ATP in Miami, I came back because of the pandemic, I'll try to upload my irl pictures here

I'd love that.
I need some inspiration. Our country's aviation sector is not encouraging considering the impact of COVID-19. And no Nigerian airline has a 747.
I read that Air Peace had placed orders for 3 Boeing 747-8 units but they later deferred them and ordered 3 Boeing 777-300 units instead.
I'll need to wait at least a year before I can try any pilot training.
It can cost up to 8million Naira

Kala04:
I also wanna be a pilot but all I need is money

Exactly

Kala04:
Foulard Where are you doing the flight school

I'm still in University of Benin.
I'd like to get a master's degree in microbiology before I can think of pilot training.

Welcome back @folarr

Beautiful screenshots as usual. I also aspire to be a pilot soon. Must fly a 747 before I die .
But I'm still in the university studying microbiology for now. So I'm nowhere near there.

What flightschool do you attend?

Kala04:
I am even trying to learn how to use the plane maker

There are some of YouTube tutorials out there that can help. But I had to work out a lot of these things myself. It just took some time. But 6 weeks in quarantine gave me all the time I needed.

Kala04:
You have the A380
Please can I get the dream liner
I have seen it

I've sent the link for the dreamliner I use. But I must warn tho, the old school FMC on this aircraft is dog shit and has very limited functions, since it's X-Plane 10 compatible. If you don't intend to use this for long haul flying, then you're good. But if you want to use it for long haul commercial flying in X-Plane 11 like I do , then a lot of work has to be done on the aircraft in X-Plane 11 plane maker.

The Airbus A380 is also another horror show, and kills my frame rate. Looks good inside and outside, but with a crappy FMC. However, I can still do commercial long haul flying with it (e.g taking off from Sydney, Australia and successfully landing in Abu Dhabi, UAE) a 14 hour flight because I'm able to load flight plans directly from simbrief.
