Created by the highly experienced aviation and software engineering team at PMDG, the 777-200ER is the latest addition to our award-winning fleet of high-fidelity airliner simulations. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the 777-200ER sets a new benchmark in realism and performance while delivering an immersive simulation experience.

This flagship of the 777 product line features state-of-the-art flight modeling, an authentic flight deck environment, a rich sound scape, deeply accurate systems simulation, accurate and extremely detailed visual models, a full-featured walk-through cabin and much, much more.

We have included your choice of PW4090, GE90-94B and the Rolls Royce Trent 895 series engines, each with it’s own unique sound package, indication systems, thrust and consumption models. The center of mass and thrust for each engine type is also modeled, which allows the engine to create realistic motion on the pylon during taxi, takeoff, landing and during turbulence in flight.

Created by experts for the enjoyment of experts and casual simmers alike, the PMDG 777-200ER will please new flight simulation enthusiasts looking for their first true airliner experience while it simultaneously meets the exacting expectations of experienced simmers looking for the kind of depth and authenticity that only PMDG can provide.

If you enjoy simulation flying on globe-spanning routes, the PMDG 777-200ER will quickly become your the favorite in your sim hangar, but you will find she is equally well suited for shorter regional flights when something a bit shorter fits into your simming plans. Or, you simulate long range flights using PMDG’s innovative Auto-Cruise mechanism that ensures the flight and your simulation platform remain stable even when running the flight with time compression to shorten lengthy cruise segments to fit your personal schedule.

Like all PMDG products, this one is packed nose-to-tail with great features to add realism and excitement to your simming, from Ground Services, basic GSX integration, the PMDG Universal Flight Tablet, numerous animations and simulation features, hundreds of possible mechanical failures, electronic checklists, a fully featured and highly detailed passenger cabin with dynamic and automatically controlled lighting and passenger features, plus much, much more.

The PMDG 777-200ER was built using Lidar scanning and photogrammetry for high accuracy and capturing details so real you will feel as though you are sitting in command of your own airliner.

PMDG continues to raise the bar on product quality and excellence, with dozens of future updates planned to continue enhancing your simulation product to keep it fresh and up-to-date.
