Haven't managed to get the gauges to work but I'm working on it.....

EDIT: Hurrah, VC works now  :)!

Cheers,

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. What plane is that in/for? This can't be freeware...

[Daube]

Maaaaaaaaan !!!! How the hell did you manage to get the VC working ?
I've been struggling with gauges (tried the 737 gauges in replacement), and VC textures transparency etc... for more than an hour, with no success at all  :-X
What did you do to display those gauges finally ? What was the origin of the problem ?

[fabiane]

Of course it is. Posky 777 VC edition, really rocking.

Don't know. Downloaded the latest panel.cfg, changed the viewpoint und added the other Posky XML codes to get the animations to work.

Need help anyone?

Do all the knobs and switches work?

[Daube]

Of course it is. Posky 777 VC edition, really rocking.

Need help anyone?

Where did you get that panel.cfg ? I have downloaded one of the VC packages on the posky site, plus the vc textures packages, and still it does not work...

[fabiane]

Try this:
Panel.cfg for FS2004:
//Project Opensky 777v2 Virtual Cockpit Panel cfg
//Built Friday, June 27, 2008 at 16:09 Jacob Kubique

Do the MFDs work? I can't get my 777 to work in FSX.  :'(

[Daube]

Ah ok Fabian, you're running FS2004, and not FSX, right ?  :-[

[fabiane]

Yep, that's right in a way. I'm running both, FSX and FS2004, havn't tried in FSX untill now, but will do tomorrow or so.

Maybe then someone else already managed to get ist to work in FSX  ;) .

Cheers,
Fabian

I think it's not possible, at least in FSX SP2.
I have tried everything, using gauges from the default 737-800 will not do. Somehow, it's like this VC refuses to admit any gauges, anywhere.... I do not understand...

EDIT: Ok, it works. I was just too stupid to write the name of the 737_800 gauge correctly (wrote "737-800")  :P
FPS killer, though. Strange, when everything is switched off, the FPS are high, but as soon as I switch the engines on, I loose 10 FPS...

1- I removed (placed '//' in front) the gauge in the VCockpit.3 section, because it's displaying some non-transparent textures over the MFDs, preventing you to see them
2- I changed the MFD/PFD lines from "Boeing777-300..." to "B737_800..." in the VCockpit.1 section
3- for the rest of the gauges like autopilot or so, it does not display properly, and also you'll have to find the corresponding gauges names in the 737. But at least for getting the MFDs, it's easy.
4- you'll have to save the original panel.cfg of the plane (the one which had no VC) in order to copy the lines that contains those posky777.... gauges that control the animations (they were in the VCockpit.2 if I remember well). Paste them somewhere, in the VCockpit.3 for example.

I think it will be easier like that:

Now, if anybody could tell me which one of those gauges is eating my FPS, I would be very glad...

[Ferrari308guy]

Hey Fabian, is this FS9 or FSX?

I'm currently trying to get it to work with FSX. Have default FS9 777 gauges in there and all. My problem is that that gauges are flickering between the gauge and the glass dirt image....Really annoying and I'm not sure how to fix it...Didn't know if anybody else experienced this issue.
