Rolls-Royce Trent is a British family of three spool, high bypass turbofan aircraft engines manufactured by Rolls-Royce plc. All are developments of the RB211 with thrust ratings of 53,000 to 97,000 pounds-force (240 to 430 kN). Versions of the Trent are in service on the Airbus A330, A340, A350, A380, Boeing 777, and 787. The Trent has also been adapted for marine and industrial applications.
At the same time, Boeing was investigating an enlarged development of its 767 model dubbed the 767X, for which Rolls-Royce proposed the Trent 760. By 1990 Boeing abandoned its planned 767X and instead decided to launch a new, larger aircraft family designated 777 with a thrust requirement of 80,000 lbf (360 kN) or more. The Trent 700's 2.47 m (97 in) diameter fan would not be big enough to meet this requirement, so Rolls proposed a new version with a 2.80 m (110 in) fan diameter, designated Trent 800.
Testing of the Trent 800 began in September 1993, and certification was achieved in January 1995. The first Boeing 777 with Trent 800 engines flew in May 1995, and entered service with Cathay Pacific in April 1996.
Initially Rolls-Royce had difficulty selling the engine; British Airways, traditionally a Rolls-Royce customer, submitted a large order for the competing General Electric GE90 engine. The breakthrough came when it won orders from Singapore Airlines, previously a staunch Pratt & Whitney customer, for its 34 Boeing 777s. The Trent 800 has a 41% share of the engine market on the 777 variants for which it is available.

This is a fantastic soundpack. It sounds so realistic (especially that howl which I just love) and it's very reasonably priced. Installation was super easy as well.
However when I actually did my first flight with my RR 777 and started the engines, I noticed that it still used the GE90 startup sounds even if the rest of the engine sounds are all Trent. I contacted TSS and was helped out very quickly by Christoffer.
It turns out that PMDG somehow bypasses the startup and shutdown sounds, so in order to hear the Trent 800 startup sounds, you have to replace the files manually in (FSX or P3D main directory)\PMDG\777X\Various. Unfortunately there's no way to have both startup sounds present, which means upon replacement, all 777 variants will use the Trent 800 startup sounds. Christoffer told me to backup the Various folder (by making a copy and renaming the original to Various.GE) and then replacing the sounds in the new copy. That way, I can easily switch back to GE90 startup sounds by changing Various (which contains the Trent 800 startup) to Various.Trent800 and then Various.GE back to Various. I don't think I can post the link to the replacement sound files here but I will ask Christoffer if he can put these instructions and a link to the files in the download.
Once I replaced these files, the sound is pretty much perfect.
Thanks Christoffer for all the help, and TSS for this awesome soundpack!
Simply amazing addon for deeper immersion. I recommend it for everybody who likes a real airplane's sound. TSS is the best choice for it! (Including all products.)

I love TSS
The Sound is incredible, and a great Addon for common Boeing 777 vehicles. Unfortunatly
comes the PMDG Boeing in the 777-200LR variant and this is only powered by GE90 engines.
