Yup, i would recommend the same - Meljet 777 and Posky 330.

But i had a weird problem with the Meljet., the virtual cockpit was only half visible (vertically) and the other half was a part of the aircraft. Hard to describe...... >:(

The MelJet only comes with the cabin, guys.

Flyboy is right - the Meljet has a virtual cabin but no virtual cockpit. The vertical line is the very furthest forward edge of the cabin that can be seen in VC view - and is very easily fixed if you know your way around the aircraft.cfg. All you have to do is move the horizontal position forward by 6 feet or so in the [views] section, and all is fixed.

It's the only freeware 777 out there, and I can see why - anybody else would have to go a long way to beat it.

so do you use the MelJet 777 then microlight?

if so, then could you PM me the aircraft.cfg file that you use, because it realls annoys me aswel.

Sorry - only just picked this up.

My aircraft.cfg file is quite heavily modified (as are most of mine actually!) and can't be transplanted straight into your sim - the [fltsim] section will almost certainly be very different to yours, not to mention the use of a completely different .air file.

If you know how to open the aircraft.cfg in Notepad, then paste the following section over the [views] section in there (make a backup of the file first!):

[Views]
eyepoint = 94.0, -2.65, 2.25

That should do it.
