PMDG 777F Flight RCTP-RKSI
Beef:
Took a "quick" flight in FSX on Nov 16th, 2016
Origin: TAIWAN TAOYUAN INTL (RCTP)
Destination: INCHEON INTL (RKSI)
Aircraft: PMDG's Boeing 777F w/ FedEx livery
Addons: Active Sky Next, Rex Softclouds
PFPX planned flight. ROUTE: PA1A PIANO L3 SALMI B576 OLMEN OLME1P
The flight would normally take around 2 hours, but with PMDG's "auto cruise" time-compression feature the actual time was a lot less. I don't use auto-cruise on VATSIM flights though (that would be frowned upon).
Here are some screen shots. I'm thinking about streaming the same flight at some future point. Enjoy!

Longknife:
Very nice Beef! Thanks for sharing.
I dont have the PMDG 777 but hear shes awesome.
What is the "auto cruise" you mentioned? I had not heard of that before.
Asid:
Great screens Beef. Really like the clouds.

I highly recommend PMDG's 737 and 777. Even the older MD-11 is an awesome product...which reminds me, I need to dust that off as well :-)
The new 747 from PMDG should be coming out in the near future as it is in Beta. Sadly, I am not a Beta tester for them. :-(
Also, if you X-Plane, the PMDG DC-6 is supposed to be excellent as well, but I haven't bitten the bullet on that yet. Laminar is coming out with X-Plane 11 and I want to wait until that settles down before buying any more X-Plane addons.

The 777 (not the NGX) has a feature for enabling time compression in the sim. I use 8x which shortens the flights considerably. The flight time from Incheon to KSFO is considerable. The 777 manages the time compression and slows it down to 1:1 when there is a change in the flight plan (i.e., next waypoint). Using the native time compression of the sim causes errors otherwise.
Also, the iFly 747 v2 (which I also have) has a similar named feature that does the same thing.
