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!

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.

Great screens Beef. Really like the clouds.
Let me know next time you will stream so I can try and watch :)
Thanks for posting

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.

Yeah I have PMDGs 737, MD11 & J41.
Honestly I like the small jets mainly because I dont go for the long flight times. My fav aircraft are the CS727 & CoolSky DC9. I guess I should also say I like the retro steam powered cockpits more as well. I used to fly for American on Vatsim a great deal but havent in some time now. Seeing your screenshots is making me miss it though.

Which is why PMDG and iFly developed and integrated the automatic time-compression features!
