PMDG in the last hour has released the 777-300ER and im beyond thrilled! It took me a bit to catch a fun av nerd reference in the price they are asking for it, and when i caught it i giggled. Its nerdy and im absolutely here for it! Id say what it is but im not sure if the forum allows it but the reference/in joke in its price has a shadow in this post.

ok wow it seriously does not feel like 10 hours has passed since I posted this. Well, I have an update! I just started to play around with the 777 and holy cow guys, its a BEAST and a TEMPERMENTAL one at that! But, I would like to just show off the 3 aircraft I chose (for now as I learn the 777-300ER) to be my aircraft. In interest of transparency, I wanted to let you guys know I have 18 airframes I can use. I chose 3, with 2-4 more being considered. BUT, because I am an aviation geek I wanted to show the 3 777-300ER aircraft used by PMDG for these 3 models.
First is American Airlines N717AN
Next up is United Airlines N2251U
Last but by no means least KLM PH-BVF

I am looking forward to getting to know these fine aircraft and fly them! Oh by the way, if any of you are flight simmers and use PMDG aircraft for MSFS2020 please be aware that due to simulator limitations the 777-300ER cameras for the landing gear are not active in the simulator, perhaps down the road they will be added by either Asobo/Microsoft and or PMDG, but, currently they do not function. A real 777 pilot who has made a few videos on the PMDG 777 that is type rated in both the 777 and 787 (they share similar type ratings fun fact) stated that the cameras are real world optional equipment if memory serves.
