Overland 777-200/300

 

review

The Boeing 777 is a long haul wide-body commercial passenger jet aircraft. It can carry between 301 and 550 passengers over a distance of max. 17,446 Km. The 777 was launched to fill the gap between the 767-300ER and the 747-400. The first 777 entered service with United Airlines in 1995.

Simmer's sky is a label of the Japanese company Overland Co.,Ltd. Along with a few other products, they sell the Fly into the sky! package, which contains many Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

Overland's Boeing 777-200/300 model is a highly detailed representation of the real 777. The package contains four different models (777-200, 777-200ER, 777-300 and the 777-300ER) and 7 liveries: Thai Airways, Korean Air, Vietnam Airlines, Aeroflot, Singapore Airlines, Eva Air and British Airways. The 2d panel is frame rate friendly, but doesn't have a FMC. For full IFR flights, you need to use the default Carmin GPS unit. ILS Approaches are no problem, just enter the course/ILS frequency and use the LOC and APPR buttons.

The virtual cockpit is a bit simple, only the most important systems are modeled. But it looks nice and is frame rate friendly too. There is also a wingview model for even better frame rate. The flight dynamics are quite good and the landing gear is very detailed and behaves realistic - only a bit floating at touchdown.

    I'm having a problem with the heavies of Overland Ltd., It seems that they have problem maintaining altitude below FL250. Just that it's having a hard time maintaining altitude, it pitches up and down..what's up with that? Do you think I have to un-install and re-install the product? What's the solution? I need all the help I can get, Thanks!
