//42 777 Immersion

In our search for total immersion we often overlook the finer details that are missing in-sim. It's these important details that add the most to our experience. For this we present our Immersive Line of products.

The 777 experiences diverse atmospheric environments on some of the worlds longest routes. Built to compliment the PMDG 777, we have spent countless hours to refine, perfect and polish a never-ending list of special effects in 777 Immersion.

Performance at first

Respect for performance is dear to us. Several hours of testing with some of the big names in the community went into making sure our product has little to no impact on performance. We think we have reached the perfect balance between incredible effects, great frame rates and an extremely low memory footprint.

Engine condensation

Bogota, 1900L. Dusk is on the horizon and large thunderstorms are closing in from the surrounding mountains. You could feel the moist and warm air around you whilst doing your walk around. As you have been cleared for takeoff, your two GE-90 engines begin to spool, and then rockets you forward with 115,000 pounds of thrust. Within your engine intakes, condensation is forming around the spinner and in front of the 22 carbon-fiber composite blades. This is the mood that OldProp recreates through our brand new multi-intensity engine condensation! You’ll love it!

Jet wash

Engine spray is an effect we believe has been overseen in Flight Simulator X and Prepar3D. With 777 Immersion, we bring in a new perspective to engine spray that will leave you in awe! The 777 is the aircraft with the most thrust in the world, and we believe that you should be able to see what water and snow feels like when pushed by 115,000 pounds of thrust!

Wing condensation

Wing condensation is one of the greatest effects you will have ever seen in your Flight Simulator. It is amongst one of the best firsts OldProp has been able to create and model! We believe that wing condensation is not only great because it is one of the most known condensation effects in the world, but also because it is the result of visible lift!

Contrails

Contrails have always been a matter of contention in Flight Simulator X and Prepar3D. Lots of people have attempted to fix them, but never achieved the level of realism pilots expected from them. With 777 Immersion, we succeeded the impossible. We have developed contrails from the ground up that doesn’t just look right, they feel right! Moreover to beautiful looking contrails are contrails that are regulated by weather variables. Indeed, your takeoffs from the Siberian-cold regions will never be the same! Our multi-stage contrails will therefore please the most hardcore pilots to the disgrace of ‘chemtrail’ lovers! Looking contrails from the ground up will never look so realistic in Flight Simulator with 777 Immersion!

Volumetric lighting

When we developed volumetric lighting for the triple-seven, we had the flight deck flyers in mind. Indeed, volumetric lighting is a must-have for any 777 pilots. Inside the cockpit on final approach, or waiting for takeoff clearance, 777 pilots will feel an impressive immersion when they will find themselves surrounded by deep fog. We believe that volumetric lighting is one of the most exciting feature in 777 Immersion!

Vortices

With the venue of Flight Simulator X came wingtip vortices. Of course, the wingtip vortices were a good improvement from previous Flight Simulators developed for the grand public. However, they lacked that little something we like to call three dimensions (3D). Moreover, whether you were on a Cessna 150 or the mighty 777, wingtip vortices looked the same. We therefore created new multi-intensity three dimensional wingtip vortices!

+ Many other effects

New touchdown effect for your hard landings, new engine start-up smoke under cold conditions, new brake dust effect when retracting the landing gear, under rain conditions, water droplets falling off the wing for more realistic walk-arounds! Water vortex from the ground into the engine (that one is amazing!), and upon rotation, water vapour vortices under each wingtip.

Limitations

Effects will not show if all engines are shutdown.

The technique used to display effects around the aircraft depends on the airplane’s smoke system which does not work when all engines are off. This is a Simulator limitation.

Effects are not visible during instant replay.

Flight Simulator X and Prepar3D’s replay system is very limited and does not allow the replay of advanced effects systems. A great solution in Flight Simulator X is to use FSRecorder with the smoke replay option turned off.
