Hello folks.
I never thought of asking here; mainly I just download everythink I can find and discard the wreckage later.

Anyhoo; I would personally love to find the type of aircraft described in the title: a mid to large size passenger liner with a fully-realized VC - in other words; one witha full complement of instruments, switches etc. in which one can go through an entire range of flight checklists.

I have two: David Maltby's superb BAC 1-11, and Project Tupolev's Tu-154.
Both astonishing, wonderful aircraft.

I'd just like smething a little newer; with a glass cockpit.

This is an incredibly rare request from me - most folks here know I prefer down-and-dirty bush bashing instead of flying the aluminum sausage; but I'm just trying to round out my collection.

Freeware if possible; but payware wouldn't be sneered at.

Failing all of that, a ship with a really good luxury passenger cabin would be nice too.

If anyone has a line to such aircraft, I'd be truly grateful.

Cheers!

Not glass cockpit...... but have you tried Mr. Maltby's Trident with full autoland/autoflare??

I've always enjoyed the 737 experience http://www.simviation.com/fs2004jets84.htm it's at least as good or better than any other freeware modern civil jet out there IMHO, and think most would agree  8-)

Well, it looks like you are already using the wonderful Tu-154, which in my opinion is the most accurate and best modern jet available (they even use it at the Tupolev factory as a procedural trainer. And if your using the M model, I would definately consider it a "modern" jetliner....the b2 model is a little older.), but as far as glass cockpits go, I would suggest the following (these have at least nice looking VC's, but I don't know how much actual buttion pushing you will get out of them):

Freeware:
Project Opensky Boeing 777-200
Project Opensky Embraer Series
Ilyushin IL-96 by Kirill Konovalov

Payware:
PMDG Boeing 747-400
Level-D Boeing 767

These are the better ones in my opinion and all available here!

Thanks much folks!

lots of new airplanes to try.
Admittedly my standard is set pretty bloody high; after David Maltby, P.T. and whoever came up with the HS-748 and Argosy packages.

I'm workiong right now but will have time to try these all in the near future. Thanks again!

The Argosy and HS.748 are by Rick Piper

The link I posted has the link to that thread. Sorry, I forgot to mention there is a little work with that one, but worth the effort when done.
The others should all be free of needed modifying as they are made for FSX.

The VC is there. But Posky is challenged at writing installation instructions.

Yeah; I've more or less given up on POSKY myself; which is a shame - they do some good work. Heck - I couldn't make a paper airplane in GMax; so anything anyone comes up with I have to admire. But really - I've never had a successful install from those guys without long, frustrating hours of 'try this, try that'. I'm not complaining (yeah, right), it's their site but it really is aggravating.

Hi Staiduk. Long time no see.

First of all it would help to know which sim this is for. From looking at your recent posts I assume it's for FS9 in which case it's pointless people suggesting FSX-only files. I find installing the Posky aircraft confusing to say the least but I would have thought a repaint configured as a complete aircraft would be easier than most. I'm downloading the Delta Airlines 777-200 as I type & will report back later.

Hi Hagar!

Yup, you're right - I should've specified FS9 only. Me old computer has enough trouble as it is; FSX would probably blow it up.

Right. I see that Romflyer is having the same problems. I finally got that Delta 777 working with a VC. Very nice it is too.


This involves a bit of work (downloading & installing different files etc.) but I can post detailed instructions if you wish.

The first thing to do is get the main textures to display. Open Aircraft.cfg in Notepad & remove the noc from the texture= entry.

[fltsim.0]
title=Boeing 777-200ER Rolls Royce-Trent 895 Project Opensky Delta NOC
sim=Boeing 777-200ER Rolls Royce-Trent 895
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=noc
checklists=

Alternatively you could rename the texture folder to texture.noc

Thank you Hagar for the nudge in the right direction  ;) is removing the noc all I need to do to get the VC functioning? or as you stated earlier the same post, that there were several different files to download?
That VC does look fantastic  :o is everything in it clickable? because the last plane from them that I actually got to function, the VC looked pretty darn good but nothing in it worked  :-? and switching back and forth and back and forth between VC and 2d kinda sucked the fun out of it  :P
