Hi every one I am here to inform you that the default 777-300 is actually a 777-200 I guess Microsoft made a miss Print on the 777-300. anyways how I figured this out if you was to look at a 777-300 from a 777-200, you can see the 777-300 is actually longer, Notice the Wing is farther from the front of the aircraft then the one In side FS2004 and also a real picture of a 777-200. You will see that the Boeing 777-300 is much closer to a 777-200 check it out.

Interesting Thomas,

The df 777 is an interesting model - I think the nose is a bit too stubby, the engines seem a bit small and/or the landing gear seems too high...

It's fun to fly though - challenging to climb to cruise and interesting to get off the deck on short runways.

Yeah I also find the Default Boeing 777 interesting, One of my all time favorites since my trip to Orlando FL back in 2003 I flew on a Boeing 777-200 American Airlines. I have taken trips to California when I was younger. but the trip to Orlando was the smoothest Trip I have ever taken, In the FS world ive been every where with the Default 777-300 I have more then 12,000 Hrs Sim time on that aircraft. its just surprising that I have never noticed the real model was a 777-200. maybe Microsoft had to change the name do to copyright issues. idk but i'm glad I did figure it out IM making 777-200 repaints for it, and to suit it up a bit for FSX im going to use DDS Textures instead of BMP DDS looks much better in FSX :)
