Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted December 19, 2013 at 08:39 PM Posted December 19, 2013 at 08:39 PM I have the Wilco Feelthere B777 and the Overland Simmersky B777 and honestly I am not completely happy with either one. I have always heard the PSS 777 was by far and away the better T7 to have, but Phoenix Simulations went out of business years ago. However, when you "google" PSS 777 download the link goes to a download for the Just Flight 777 Professional. Are these one and the same?

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted December 19, 2013 at 08:45 PM Posted December 19, 2013 at 08:45 PM PSS is not dead. Justflight bought the rights to their products. PSS was restarted afterwards by the owners son as Blackbox Simulations. so you can pretty much get it from justflight (at a higher price) or blackbox (think theyve started selling the 777 already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Blackburn Posted December 19, 2013 at 08:47 PM Posted December 19, 2013 at 08:47 PM BBS is made up of both Graham and his son Ant - i.e. the same two guys behind PSS. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted December 19, 2013 at 09:21 PM Author Posted December 19, 2013 at 09:21 PM Thanks guys, I appreciate the quick response. Oh, Ernesto, JF is selling the boxed or download version for USD $30.00 and BBS has their download for 25 Euro which at the current exchange rate comes out to USD $34 and change. So, given that, which would you get? [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming the one from BBS is identical to the one from JF the Just Flight version is the better buy seems to me. Talking FS9 here, not FSX.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted December 19, 2013 at 09:36 PM Posted December 19, 2013 at 09:36 PM and to think PSS had it for just $10 months before closing man do i miss those days think justflight added a few things to it like the payload manager, not 100% on what each added to it from the original if anything, contact BBS, some of their stuff i believe are totally new works, not just the old models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted December 26, 2013 at 07:11 PM Author Posted December 26, 2013 at 07:11 PM Taking your advice Ernesto, I emailed Black Box Sims asking about their product versus the one available at JustFlight and to date have had no response. Seems I read elsewhere in the forums that others were having difficulty with BBS support as well. Maybe no answer is my answer. However, it is the holiday season so maybe a little more time before deciding? Randy Randy Tyndall - KBOI ZLA I-11/vACC Portugal P4 “A ship is always safe in the harbor.

Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted January 16, 2014 at 04:35 AM Author Posted January 16, 2014 at 04:35 AM Well, I waited for 2 weeks after the holidays and nothing from BBS despite an email and two followups. Felt that was sufficient, although I don't know for sure given their locale. I bought the PSS B777 Professional through JustFlight today and after a few orientation flights I am much happier with it in FS2004 than I was with either the Wilco or Overland B777 in FSX. It was still $30.95 USD through them (and approximately $36.00 in USD through BBS). Overall, I'm happy...heck, I had more payware and addon scenery for FS2004 anyway. Thanks for all the info and advice. Randy Randy Tyndall - KBOI ZLA I-11/vACC Portugal P4 “A ship is always safe in the harbor.
