POSKY 777 panel doesnt show

[pete]

OK - I see the model.cfg was not set to the VC

I set it to the VC (In model.cfg change  OS773ERV2--L to OS773ERV2--L_VC)

This is what it now looks like:


However - I will now upload the corrected file - users should not be expected to mess around with stuff like model.cfg , etc ...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[quote]The reason I know it should work is I have used this panel in about 5 777-300's all OK ... I will download the file in question & check it out

Hi Pete
I cant find any instructions on how to upload/insert pictures here?

Hmmm, the 2 center panels should be the eicas panels, and not the pfd, mfd panels. easy fix however, just change the cfg to reflect the eicas panels. Better to use the latest xml gauges from posky for realism.

I managed to fix it but it's not that easy for a beginner to figure out. No offence to Posky but the whole site is terribly confusing, even for an experienced tweaker like me.

Am I right in thinking that the gauges in the 777-300 VC are not clickable?

I agree, the way they have it setup is very confusing for even an experienced user.

As for the clickable gauges... sure, not all of them are clickable, but a good majority are. The -300 uses all the same vc files as the -200, so there should be no difference on what is clickable and what is not.

I would say that the easiest way is just to start with the latest version of the panel.cfg, and use the 2 files described in my original how-to post, keeping in mind.... the posky 777 was never designed for use in FSX, so we do have to tweak it to work.

It might be the specific model. I've only tried the Air Canada version of the 777-300. Even though they use the same panels & gauges none of the VC gauges appear to be clickable like those in several versions of the 777-200 I've tried.

[gtirob01]

Hmmm, which gauges for example? like the eicas panels?

[Hagar]

All VC gauges including the gear lever. I've tried both current panels. Something very odd here. Another 300 with the same MDL file & panel works fine. I'm totally confused.

I'll start again from scratch when I'm in the mood.

I've got the 777-200 working (2d and VC) for the UAL and AAL using the Posky panel and guages.  

I downloaded the xml glass cockpit using the link here and installed it.  Almost perfect; one greyed out VC AP switch though I can still click on it and the pilot side lighting in the VC won't stay lit.  The light comes on for a moment and then goes off.  Co-pilot side is lit.
