Xplane 12 7771/15/2024 ![]() ![]() The FlightFactor B757/767 twins have had a lot of updates, mostly twice a year, and that is were most of the team's focus has gone, but any new aircraft or even updates to the B777 have been. in May 2014, but since then really nothing? Different engine configurations were also installed with the GE90-115B and the PW4090 coming later. ![]() There was a Boeing 777 Worldliner Pro-Extended Pack, that added in the -200LR, -200ER and -300 variants, and a lovely -200F cargo option. Flightfactor went on to create the Boeing 757/767 twins, a very advanced chrome based Airbus A320 Ultimate, a basic but clever Airbus A350, and have already announced the development of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. In many ways they broke all the rules, and set out the future of aircraft development for the X-Plane Simulator in being a business model, and not just in being a hobbyist sharing their skills and creations. even behind the scenes it was different, breaking away from the rule of mostly a single or double amateur developer(s), this aircraft was created by a team, and they came with a 3rd party investment. The newly formed FlightFactor broke a lot of barriers with their release of the Boeing 777 Worldliner, an astounding model for it's time, and even a fully working FMS system. overnight, the expansive XP-Jet development was now dead and buried, gone within weeks. Out of the blue came an aircraft release to trump everything, it was by a brand new outfit called FlightFactor Aero, and supported by VMAX, and that aircraft was the Boeing 777 Worldliner. But there was one problem, the development was glacial slow, years slow to be exact. The project promised at the time the ultimate and the next level of computer simulation of flying aircraft. But it was not by who you think it was, it was by XP-Jets a team that had broken away from XPFP (X-Plane Freeware Project). ![]() A new generation of mature modeling and extremely high quality textures were to bring to X-Plane the world beating Boeing 777 Twin-Engined airliner. The 777X had previously been expected to be released for use in June 2020.Ĭongress approved a sweeping certification reform bill in late 2020 after two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes that had added new requirements to getting aircraft approved.īoeing Chief Executive Dave Calhoun said in April that it is "definitely a more rigorous process that we're all going through" to get airplanes certified.NEWS! - Aircraft in development : UPDATED FlightFactor Boeing 777 Pro v2Ī decade ago we were all in thrall of an in-development of a Boeing 777. In May 2021, the FAA told Boeing that, realistically, it would not certify the 777X until mid- to late 2023 and rejected a request by Boeing to clear a certification hurdle, citing numerous concerns about lack of data and lack of a preliminary safety assessment. The Federal Aviation Administration warned Boeing in a March 21 letter that existing certification schedules for the 737 MAX 10 and 777X were "outdated and no longer reflect the program activities."Ĭertification is needed before Boeing can begin deliveries. The 777X, also known as the 777-9, is a larger version of the 777 wide-body jet and has been in development since 2013.īoeing in April said it was halting production of the 777X through 2023 and confirmed a delay in handing over the first 777X jet to 2025 from the previous target of late 2023, but said it remained confident in the program. GE (GE.N) said last month it was reviewing a technical issue that occurred during GE9X post-certification engineering testing of the plane, and had decided with Boeing to remove the engine and send it to a test facility in Ohio for engineering test runs. ![]() WASHINGTON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) said on Thursday it had resumed flight testing of its 777X jets after an inspection in October found an engine issue. ![]()
