i have downloaded the emirates posky 777-200lr from projectopensky.com but i cant understand the installation in the readme and when i have done it i couldnt find the aircraft why is that ?!!!!!! can you tell me how to install it ? because i really need the posky 777
i am running fsx on vista

I just downloaded the file to check it out. Installation should be straightforward enough. If an aircraft is not listed on the selection menu & you're sure you installed it correctly always open the panel & sound folders to check them. The Sound folder of the Emirates 777 contains only one file which means it's aliased to use the sound of another aircraft. Open this Sound.cfg file in Notepad to investigate. As this aircraft was intended for FS9 the sound is aliased to the FS9 default B737_400 like this.

[fltsim]
alias=B737_400\sound

FSX does not have a default B737_400. To fix it point it at the FSX default B737_800 like this.

[fltsim]
alias=B737_800\sound

i fail to under stand this. how is it that hundreds of thousands of people can download this and not have a problem and only a few have issues installing it. some one explain that.

anyways you will need to either port over the panel for the 777 from FS9 or (i think there was mentioned that there was a download that had the necessary gauge and panel files.) after you do that you can then add the xml lines to the panel cfg. really it shouldn't be that hard a process other wise people wouldn't download it

You shouldnt even need to do all of that.... other than getting the gauge file. The package comes with its own panel... whereas many other posky planes just use an aliased FS9 panel. The instructions are there... theres a ton of topics on various sites already on how to install it.

Rob, on the last two releases (747, 777) the panels are not aliased  to a default plane because of the XML gauges that need to be included so the plane looks right
