Simviation Forums

i have a question, if i download a boeing 777 do i have the boeing 777 folder in the simobject/aircraft or i can add the 777 to a 737 or 747 folder? and if i download a 737-400 texture can i put the texture in the 737-800 folder or do i have to make a new folder?

A 777 is it's own aircraft, it is it's own add-on, it does not go into any other aircraft folder.  Just drop it into your airplane folder.

Textures are made for specific models, so you cannot add them into any other type aircraft.  Even at that, if there are two sim objects of the same model aircraft, like two different F-4's, even if they are both F-4D's, but by different authors, any new texture for one will not likely work on the other.

do i have to make a new folders for the boeing 777 but also for that i need to find new panels,sound,etcs
but wat about the boeing 737-400 can i drop that in the 737-800? or i have to make a new folder like the boeing 777?

Yes, everything has to be separate. You need a different folder for 737-400,737-700,737-800 etc. Even for different 737 series aircraft, you need to put them in different folders or else the textures won't work right.  For example, I have a POSKY Delta 737-800 and the default 737-800. They have to go in separate folders since they were made by different people. Usually I label them b737_700, b737_200, the same way the defaults are labeled.

For the panels, sounds, you can either copy/paste the sound files from other aircraft folders or find new ones that match up with your aircraft. For me, I don't see too much for a difference for 737-700 and 737-800 aircraft, so I just copy the boeing 737-700 sound files to the boeing 737-800 sound folder.

o i see now thx can someone do me a favor please?

i can't download this texture from this site

If you downloaded and unzipped the zip file, you should have a folder already named "777", or whatever that particular download's name is.

well that i know for fact but that texxture i want to download but the link is borken anyone have any clue where to download that texture>?

From where?

^^^^^^ that is the texture but is from projectopensky and i can't seen to find the download in simviation and the link is broken at porjectopensky

Again, that's a nice picture of a 747.  That doesn't help much to determine where the texture download is located, aside from it's probably on the Opensky web site.

oo thanks i have a question to ask u but it have nothing to do with the topic do u mind?

That depends.  What's the question?

hehe wish to help me to get better on FSX on mulitiplayer  :P

Sorry, I don't do the multiplayer thing, though there are quite a few around here that do.  I think there's even a multiplayer forum down near the main forum list.
