Awesome VC/ Icons work too!

Postby cavity » Wed Nov 17, 2004 7:35 pm

I just downloaded the SMS MD-ll from another popular website and it has one of the best VC I have yet to see.  Very clear, very functional, and what is the best is that you can call ATC, bring up the GPS and maps, radio and such from the VC.  I have never seen a VC panel that has that feature.  Truly awesome, check it out.  Todd

Your right!! A most excellent aircraft ;D I too have taken to flying in VC mode when I can. This plane is also good on frame rates! I recomend it to everbody. Oh yes it aslo has a back view in cocpit mode. The panel is a little dull so I'l be customizing it with a gauge or two and some tastefully done trim.  If you would like, when I'm done I can send you a copy. PS: I don't know how to contact others in the forum but I'm sure theres a way.  Thanks again for the tip. Wildie

I'm a big fan of this plane, but for some reasons, the cockpit lights don't work at night on my machine.

Apart from that, it's a fantastic plane.

Yup, I just posted about it in another thread.  Great plane, but TERRIBLE design decision putting in a 2d wing view.  Now it's messed up when you look left or right in the vc theres no vc, just nothingness.  Other than that, good plane.  Gonna get my trans-atlantic flight on this thanksgiving.

D'oh!  All those repaints don't contain the vc and I'm not sure how to get the vc in there.  Apparently there was a 1st version of this aircraft w/o a vc, and its the second version that has a vc.  Back to the drawing board(for me at least)...  :(

Beefhole, you are right.  I failed to post that it is the second version that I downloaded.  Anybody know how they added the sim cons to the VC, I have been trying to do that forever and wasnt able to?  Glad everyone seems to like it.  Todd
