As Ashar said, this one will be far superior to the PSS one. After all, it is feelthere who is developing this product, and if you have any experience whatsoever with flying the PSS 777-200LR you'll know why this aircraft is so eagerly awaited. ;)

this is not a PIC feelthere release, but more a mainstream, one like their CRJ200.

If we're going to brake it down system-by-system, PSS wins this one, and Feelthere has been honest all the time and stated that their 777 wont be as advanced as their 737.

Feelthere's 777 is for the more casual simmer who dont have time or the will (which I fully understand) to plunge through various manuals just to get some random flying done.

Quote from FT's forum
"Q: I cannot find some system simulated!
A: Please read the product's description. This plane was developed with casual and entry level simmers in mind. However we believe even hardcore users can find it enjoyable as we tried to find the right ballance between simplicity and useability"

Sorry, but the model looks worse than the PSS one and the panel has a very 'freeware' feel about it. What's going on with that nose? Looks more like an A380 than a T7!

the PSS 777 for FS2004 was releases in NOV '05.
You may be thinking about their 777 for FS2000?
Kind of unfair to compare that one to PMDG's Boeings, wouldnt you say  :)
