Anyone know of a good freeware 777 in DAL colors? I have the MelJet, but it absolutely KILLS my fps. Any help appreciated! Thanks.

Wheres your taco? Well i would like to keep this a G-Rated Forum so i would rather not say.

But for a 777 have you tired POSKY? Its not Gmax tho. I have never tired it myself seeing i am running something a little bit better than a 486 :-)

there's a lot of good 777s in delta colors.. some of my recomendations are:

- apcdl772.zip (fs2000)

- dl772nnc.zip (fs2002, this is the opensky model.. and i guess it's really heavy.. and if you don't have a good system i wouldn't recommend it)

- mk_777dl.zip (fs2002, this is i think your best option.. its a repaint of the original 777 in fs..)

i hope that helps in your search.. :o)

James,

I noticed in your sig image your gear is down and locked. I certaily hope you're coming in for a landing beacause otherwise it means you're on the GROUND!! Keep them wheels up and fly high!! Remember, we're not paying you by the hour here!! lol

Considering all my engine gauges are reading zero, I should hope I'm on the ground!

You've got better eyes than me! (Too many nights spent looking for tiny nicks and dents in hydraulic lines in engine bays!)
