The Boeing B777 was designed as a widebody long-haul aircraft designed as a replacement to aging B747s. Having been the first airliner fully designed with CAD, as well as Boeing’s first airliner to fully use fly-by-wire controls, it represented a quantum leap in airliner efficiency.

Cathay Pacific Airways is the flag carrier of Hong Kong, offering passenger and cargo flights to international destinations around the world. It is considered one of the world’s largest and most prestigious airlines. The airline was heavily involved in the development of the B777, even becoming the recipient of the first prototype and the launch customer of the -300 variant. Cathay Pacific continues to use the type heavily in medium and long-haul routes, and is one of its largest operators.

Instructions

I’ll just repeat the description from my blank B777 upload. This handles the same as that, albeit with more parts.

This is without question my most complex replica to date. I put a lot of moving parts and detail on this one, and the result is a replica that is difficult to fly. I REALLY wouldn’t recommend flying this plane unless you’re a big fan of the 777 like I am. This aircraft comes with working flaps, spoilers, thrust reversers and fully moving flaperons, rudder and elevators.

Reversers are activated with Custom02, and spoilers with Custom01. Allow the reverser to fully deploy before disengaging them, because if you toggle reversers mid-animation it will stay open.

Flaps are not recommended for high-speed flight (obviously), and should only be used at speeds 100 m/s and below. Any higher and they will bend out of place. You will likely never need them anyway in actual flight. You can move them with I/K.

Keep SAS on 100% of the time when flying this, it’ll keep it stable. Because of the large control surfaces, the rudder and elevator controls are extremely sensitive. Maneuver gently, push WASD in increments, and don’t keep elevators and rudder in full deflection in flight as the tension can undo the joint if strained for too long. You should never be pulling maneuvers hard enough to necessitate it with something this big anyway.
